    Serious question.

    GGG vs Brook is an awful match up. Equally as bad as Canelo vs Khan. I want to know if there is any boxer in the world who could jump 2 weight classes and have a legit chance vs the #1 guy in the higher division?

    some of the featherweights might beat the very weak lightweight top

    Currently? I don't know. But its certainly happened in the past. In any event, I don't see Kell Brook standing much of a chance against GGG. About the only tactic which MIGHT save him is to run all night and hope that he has sympathetic officials.. Other than that I don't see how he pulls it off.

    Loma possibly with Crawford but that's a stretch to.

    Kell Brook is no Amir Khan. Brook has never been knocked out senseless in less than a minute. He's a more complete fighter than Khan and is clearly a big WW. Obviously it would've ben better for him to move up slowly and have some fights at JMW before moving straight to fight GGG at MW but I think he'll do better than how most people think he will.

    That said, I think GGG will win but not necessarily by stoppage.

    Wilder jumped two divisions and beat Dustin Nichols, the number one at whaleweight.

    126-130 are stacked divisions with very, very good fighters, but Rigo is in a league of his own. He's a tiny terror. If Kov gets past Ward and retains his speed and awesome power could crush Fury. Ggg is known to handle big men he can take over 175 too. I think Crawford is better than Canelo or Lara he can rule 154 in the future.

    you mean the same crawford who was down 4-0 on every card vs gamboa and being outboxed?

    Lara would probably knock terrence out and i like crawford, shows how little u people know about boxing
