GGG is not unbeatable but Kell brook is not the man to beat him...

with khan, it was just the same brits who do the exact same thing anytime a brit fights. its a point of honor for many of them to support their fighter to the point of delusion. not all of them, but the loudest ones do it time and time again.
with brook, you have the same group praying for the same thing. except now, theyve been joined by the demographic, who is praying more for ggg to lose, than praying for brook to win.

 

you do sound like youre realistic about the situation.
everyone, except the same brits i mentioned, pretty much predicted exactly how canelo-khan was going to go down. khan wins some rounds with his speed, khan gets timed, khan gets knocked senseless.
now, everyone except the same group is saying brooks strategy goes out the window as soon as he feels ggg's knuckles dig into any part of his body.
i agree with you that there are nuthuggers and haters to spare when you mention ggg. but predicting that brook gets smashed doesnt make anyone a nuthugger or a hater, it just makes them realistic, like yourself.
one thing that im really looking forward to, is reading what all the ggg critics will say when ggg outboxes someone who they are now claiming, is a special boxer.

 

yes, ward is the only one that may have the medicine to cure good boy syndrome.

 

I think Degale might have a shot at beating GGG.

 

Golovkin is a nobody.

He has no special effects and is your average straight up European fighter. He has no DAP like a black fighter and no humph like a Mexican fighter.
Brook is a much better boxer but his size disadvantage will allow Little g to go the distance.
At the end of the fight Brook will be aloof, like Khan, and Golovkin will still be a nobody.

 

Ward had the ring IQ, the size, the speed, and defense to neutralize or at least keep the momentum from swinging into Golovkin's favor. Ggg also has a very high ring IQ and many overlook that. I also believe he's not a true inside fighter as many believe, he picks his shots and is economical with them. I don't think he lost against Gaydar, but it did lay out the blueprint. Ggg is more complete now especially with those bodyshots. An absurd, controversial British style stoppage loss in the UK against a quick fisted fighter like Eubank Jr or even Brook wouldn't surprise me tho.

 

Agreed. Ggg always seems to depend on leverage ALOT and he's great at it. He definitely needs that space, I don't recall him smothering his punches like many pressure or inside fighters tend to do.

 

I favour GGG in this fight too, but I think stylistically it might be quite a hard night's work for Golovkin.

Brook has good footwork, good movement, he uses angles and is comfortable fighting in the centre of the ring and on the ropes. He's much more versatile than most of GGG's opponents, and he will be much harder to hit clean than most of the guys GGG has been fighting. I don't think GGG will be able to just blast him out of there like he has some of his other victims, cos I don't think GGG will get chance to land clean shots on Brook.

As a Brit, rooting for Kell Brook in this fight is somewhat different to rooting for Khan versus Canelo for example - Khan was a blown up lightweight, who never had a chin, and who is quite one dimensional (fast hands, good offense) whereas Brook is massive for a welterweight and has much more to his game than Khan.

I favour Golovkin by 60/40 and I would not be surprised if this fight went the full 12 rounds. Despite coming up in weight I think Brook is one of his toughest tests to date and I would rather he fought Brook than someone like Eubank Jr who I genuinely don't rate at all.
