If Brook would've fought Canelo @ 155 lbs instead of GGG? How this fight would've played out ?

    Yes, indeed Brook will be an excellent edition the the 154 pound division. And honestly I'd pick Brook to beat anybody at 154, not named Canelo Alvarez!

    Oh Brook would batter him, look what the lesser Cotto did to him.
    Brooks faster, better technique, better movement, better chin and will probably lacerate Canelos face or knock him out, i think after the GGG fight and him having a broken eye socket and still doing what he did, imagine a non-vision impaired Brook against a much lesser fighter and lighter fighter in Canelo lol

    I agree with everything except Canelo being a plodder. I wouldn't call him a plodder, as his style is not of a pressure fighter, he is a counter puncher, so the few times he's had to chase down runners, yes, he's not looked superb.

    LOL.. You have a big imagination.

    Simple science, Brook would toy with flat footed Canelo, even Khan was starting to until the china cracked, that shot Canelo hit Khan with Brook wouldn't get hit with and he would walk through it even if he did, GGG punches so much harder than Canelo and Brook ate them up like they were snickers while having a broken eye socket and impaired vision.
    Fully fit Brook would be a superstar after the Canelo fight, I have no doubt it would be a one sided battering by Brook and he may even be charged for grevious bodily harm after the fight making a boxing first.

    Do you believe a boxer needs to be light on is feet to be effective? Canelo is a counterpuncher, since when do you see counter punchers bouncing on their toes running all over the ring?

    You're strictly trolling at this point arent you? You cant be that dumb or ignorant. Khan fought extremely cautious and defensively, you are aware of that right? You understand what you're watching right? You don't just see two men clubbing each other the way casual see boxing, right? Brook who was trying to bring it to GGG got hit to the head far more often than Khan who was being very elusive fighting off the back foot, and Canelo still caught him, slowed him down with his marvelous body attack, and got the KO with a feint, counter and slip. You're telling me that Brook will be even more elusive than Khan, Lara, or Trout? You got some fantasy going on. lol

    So you're saying that because GGG wasn't able to put him away Brook is incapable of being KO, or hurt by anyone else? Is that what you're saying? Also, how do you know GGG punches so much harder than Canelo, when Golovkin has NEVER faced a fighter like Mayweather, Lara, Trout, or Cotto?

    Everytime Canelo fights a Golovkin type opponent Canelo gets the KO.

    I can tell your boxing knowledge is very limited. I even feel like a fool replying to your nonsesne, but hey, I like wasting time I guess. Golovkin fights nothing like the faster, more explosive Canelo, and Brook isn't a better fighter than Cotto, nor does he have Cotto's punching arsenal, nor his experience, or accolades. Cotto > Brook.

    Canelo counters the shet out of the smaller Brook who proved to be less defensive than Khan. So yes, Canelo would land that overhand right, and those rights to Brook's body, a lot sooner than he did against Khan who was sticking and runnig the fak out the way .

    But if it lying to yourself helps you, be my guest, not sure what kind of psychological issues you suffer from. But you sure as hell have one big imagination.

    Brooks approach would probably be very different

    I also don't think Canelo would so actively pursue pressure and batter Brook like Golovkin did

    I bet Brook would attack, Canelo would defend and we would have a very g9od fight

    It's a close fight, where the judges give the fight to Canelo as long as he is breathing at the end of the 12th round.

    Aside from that, Brook would hang in there with Canelo, and might even outbox him, though Canelo would definitely have his moments. Cotto outboxed Canelo, just did not have the power to bother him. It would be a close 12 rounder. Good fight.

    I came to type almost this exact post. Though assuming the judges are impartial I would expect Canelo to edge it. At least until I see Brook fight more in whatever weightclass he settles into.

    Well rather than make yourself look stupid like you did when claiming I am trolling only to try and bring a strawman argument to the debate, I will enlighten you especially since you tried a lot of ad hominem in an effort to add more credibility to your lugubrious post.
    As a member of Team Elite and one of the founding fathers of the forum, not to mention multiple poster of the year I will refrain from brutally banishing you by just highlighting the error of your ways so you understand humble people should act humbly in order to float under the radar and blend in, while I am sure you do this in person the forum is no exception!

    Khan was pretty easily landing combos and lighting up the red plodders face, Khan doesn't really pack much power but he was staggering Canelo all over the shop. He did fight defensively in a sense as he is made of pure china, clearly any shot from Canelo would end it. Canelo had no answers for him, he did plod forward and attempt to land because of Khans lack of power and knowing 1 shot finishes Khan. Khan is also very mentally weak and become flustered by this tactic of Canelo and eventually made mistakes and was punished. Brook has known of these issues, Canelo can't hurt him, he is defensively better than Khan, he has a lot more power and better timing and again he is much faster than Canelo and stronger willed than Khan. Everything Khan can do Brook can do much better.

    Canelo has only fought a 2 live opponents and he lost to both, I actually doubt Canelo could beat Porter but that's a whole different story. Canelo is managed the same way Mayweather is, big star in America, protected and put in against no-hopers, struggles sometimes and other times beats some worn out old big names, this appeals to the masses and keeps them sedated into enjoying the sport and believing in a boxer that has been synthetically produced to appeal. I forgive you as you are the audience they targeted so it isn't your fault.

    Canelo would have vacated a title to duck him too.
