I have a sneaky feeling that Brook may be the better boxer and outbox GGG

    Brook is the smaller man. #Facts

    We want to see if Brook can come up with a good game plan, take some hard shots, and stick with the game plan. We will find out what kind of heart he has that night. But make no mistake about it, he is the smaller man.

    If Golovkin had average power then I think Brook would win quite comfortably.

    Leonard trained for a relentless Hagler. He trained to take hard punches for 12. L?eonard used defense and counterpunching to give Hagler a fight. When you are fighting a bigger man you have to give him something to respect whether it's a chin shot or body shot. Brook has a pretty good offense, but when he's attacked he clinches.

    Trying to clinch a bigger man like he did Porter all fight won't work. GG is a decent boxer too. Brook is going to have to create offense, move more, clinch and attack and do it all over again. Coming from 147 I don't know if he can do that even if people think that he's a big WW.

    Brook being good, not elite speed as a welterweight will still seem like The Matrix compared to the elusiveness of the Martin Murray who went 11 rounds with Golovkin (andwho Brook would also beat).

    I think GGG will win, but in an aura vanishing fight after which a queue of fighters will appear ready to take on a guy made to look ordinary by a fighter two weight divisions below him.

    I am going to root for Brook, because lets face it.. he would shock the boxing world if he does pull it off. It would be the greatest upset in a VERY long time. That said; any which way you look at this fight, how it could play out. It is a mismatch.

    You can't compare to Khan - Canelo at all, Khan was winning the fight and a win was a real possibility had he managed to continue to avoid getting caught. GGG beats Canelo with ease, hands down he is much better.

    Just NO. Brook's best win is Porter. That's right Shawn Porter. Brook is one of the most overhyped fighters in this forum. GGG will slaughter him. Brook is basically going to collect a big paycheck despite a ****py resume. GGG is all around better than Brook.

    I will be shocked if Brook makes it past the 6th round.

    He may be hitting harder due to not being drained to death bit he will be hitting an iron chinned MW

    Have many people watched brook in any fights except porter? The clinching in that fight was a one off, he never usually clinches...

    There was never anyway khan could last 12 rounds, it was more of a fantasy rather than reality.

    yes he has been down very early in his career against karl david i think. I could be wrong on the opponent but he has been down once, he got up to win by ko though
