    Porter is a top 5 WW.

    I think GGG is clever enough to make this a decent fight for all the fans, he will want to put a good show on for everyone watching. He will jab Brook's head off and then start to turn the screw, letting his hands go and taking (walking through) Brook's shots around round 6 and I see a devastating stoppage shortly after.

    GGG will hurt Brook badly with a body shot same way he did Macklin and floored Murray, mark my words.

    Another over-hyped mismatch being sold to the ever-gullible British fight fans. Come on guys, Brook has no chance here, no chance.

    From Williams? Couldn't find anything on Williams' Twitter indicating that he dropped Brook. You sure it wasn't a fake account?

    Don't think GGG can out jab brook all day, as brook will have the speed and movement to offset any jabbing contest. The main factor will be GGG's power shots if brook can keep GGGs power shots to the minimum by footwork and clever countering and decent power he has a chance to take it into the later rounds.

    Don't read to much into sparring stories. In sparring is where you learn and unfortunately lean the hard way in boxing. Of course he will be sparring big punchers to get used to the power and also trying out new things. Remember for the porter fight brook got a lot of inside fighters to practice his holding and grabbing tactics which I think he will TRY to in this fight as a plan A,b or c kind of plan. If he can counter and time a shot and hold in the inside and has the strength then he do it all night IF GGG is to strong on the night he might have no alternative but to fight in the middle of the ring and using his movement and timing.

    GGG has to grow old at some stage in the ring he won't get any better or quicker at the age of 34,one say he'll go the well and it will be dry.. I hope for Brook it's a week Saturday. I like small monetary bets with high returns Brook IMO won't KO him, if he wins it will be points which I've stuck a fiver on at 10 to 1, a mate of mine who's opinion I respect and don't always agree with is convinced Brook is going to pull off a shock and bomb GGG early doors I totally disagree with this but in a moment of madness (beer) we put a fiver each on Brook round group betting 1 to 4 at 33 to 1

    Brook will need his personal referee, judges and boxing commission and will still get knocked out......................I really do hope that the judges, referee and boxing commission will be fair. Golovkin will have to knock Brook out to get a draw.............

    People will always pick the unlikely guy because that 1 in 100 chance it happens, they look like a genius. No logical thought backs Brook as winner

    Getting past 3 rounds would be an achievement IMO.

    Movement? Are you serious?

    GGG will manoeuvre Brook into whichever corner he chooses, GGG ringcraft is one of his best attributes.

    Agreed.

    GGG sets traps like no other.

    This fight is only intriguing as both are unbeaten.

    But it is only a fight, and anything can happen during it.

    Personally i believe it is about timing.

    GGG no doubt is a good fighter, IMO very overrated, made out to be some form of robot that can not be beaten or hurt, but can only inflict these things on those who face him and never the reverse...

    Brook another good fighter, but is not rated and being given no chance by most people, Why?

    GGG wont make the big fights at his own weight without some excuse for them not happening.

    Brook was asked and offered the fight and said yes, with no hesitation.

    TBF GGG did also and why wouldnt he, he sees no risk from Brook.

    But maybe he should not have been so hasty.

    Brook is a serious threat TBH.

    As with GGG and Brook there is an old saying, an unbeaten fighter is hard to beat, because he doesnt know how he can be beat, thats what makes it an interesting fight, they will both i believe go to different levels in this fight.

    Brook will win this fight.

    Trust me he wins and shocks the world minus me.

    I hope you are not insinuating that Golovkin is making excuses for big fights not happening at his weight. That's the way it reads anyway.

    Also I read your post and you haven't really given any technical ****ysis on why Brook wins this fight. Fair enough, it's your opinion but break down the fight.
