    Brook won't get a serious beating. He's just too slick for that and too good a counter puncher.

    Brook has a VERY good chance in this fight.

    A very good chance of dragging the fight out, not to win.

    He may win a few rounds and look excellent (much like Khan did vs Canelo) but he will be stopped.

    Think Brook would edge Canelo at LMW has better balance and footwork and that would be major difference in Brooks favour.

    I think ppl will be shock that the fight will go the distance. I have GGG to win on points or a draw.

    Ggg doesn't even hit that hard anyway.

    It's not going to be the case that GGG's first flush punch ends the fight, like what was always going to happen with Canelo vs Khan. Fair enough that punch would have felled a horse, but I reckon even if Canelo landed with 50% less power than he did, the result would have been the same.

    GGG is going to need some special punches to KO the special one. Unfortunately, as a Brook fan, GGG has a lot of special punches in his repertoire.

    My best hope for Kell is if he lands something huge fairly early on. Something that makes GGG act a little cagier than normal. I still wouldn't then put Kell to win, but it would give him a chance.

    There's a lot of people online picking Brook and I just don't get it.

    We've seen Brook hurt before. We've seen him against one world level fighter and he got by with a SD. He did win, but it was close. One of his main assets is his size and strength at 147, much like Murray had at 160 - he loses that advantage right away.

    The argument of "well upsets happen so I'm picking Brook" is not an argument at all. It's merely the acknowledgment of possibility in the ignorance of logic.

    Brook is not David Lemiuex. The power is not the same.

    He's never ever been hurt. Slightly off balance against Senchenko and he ended the fight immediately.

    The SD against Porter was down to one dopey judge. The 117-111 scorecard was far more reflective of the way the fight went.

    Golovkin hits wide loopy punches, leaving his grid wide open for the chocolate brownies.

    Actually that's not too far from the truth. Not many of his opponents have been knocked clean out, more usually it's an accumulation of punches.

    Brook is too slick to get caught like that.

    Jones hurt him too.

    If you had it that wide for Brook, you're in the minority. I had him winning but by a round if I recall.

    Wide loopy punches? Even the hook where he turns the knuckle down isn't wide or loopy (the shot he used against Murray and Rubio). His technique is better than Brook's in pretty much every regard.

    Talk about stating the obvious
