    GGG hurt Brooks bad in the first. Then he let off the gas and when into his trading Street fight mode. GGG could of ended the fight any round he wanted to. Imagine if he stopped Brooks in the First, all the British fans would go home disappointed... Remember it's not called the BIG DRAMA SHOW for nothing!

    So all this nonsense about being exposed needs to end, GGG played with Brooks and still broke his eye socket.. Legendary!!

    No he won't fight anyone that can hurt him like that and that's everyone. You guys have to stop being fanboys for a minute and look at the basic flaws. GGG holds his head low in the inside and everyone hits him when he does it.
    Stevens, Monroe, and Brook have hit him with this uppercut/cross combo.
    Heres the footage:

    Did you see GGGs feet lift up. Now combine that with a skilled technician like Ward. GGG is never gonna move up because of what you see right here and it will be condoned because...you already know my opinion on why he gets a pass.

    He wasn't exposed and he didn't finish Brook in round 1. there are no shoulda woulda coulda' sin boxing. Either that you did or didn't.

    GG wasn't ready exposed. He made it a street fight something that is rare when little guys want to face big guys. That's what you do. The little guy usually has a speed advantage. You take his advantage away which is what GG did.

    It's called carrying an opponent, look it up. Ray Robinson did it all the time. Think about it...would any other fighters fight him him
    Ward has about the same power as Brooks.

    I'm not going to say GGG was exposed but I am no way believing he was happy to take shots.

    It does a disservice to Kell brook. Brook landed shots as he showed some real goods qualities, good speed, good angles, good counters. GGG is human and he was in the ring with an opponent who has some skills.

    Anybody who claims GGG was exposed is a pure tool. Get a life. When your training you train to get hit as little as possible you dont expect to end the fight untouched. Even Floyd, one of the greatest defensive Boxers of all times gets hit. GGG isnt known as a definsive genius.

    GGG has a great chin and great power (I think Boone said his power is at least equal to Kovalev's) but I think he could stand to improve his boxing. He sometimes runs in with his hands down to continue his attack and I think one day he will walk right into a perfect punch that puts him out. I think he took too many clean punches in the fight with Kell. He looked awful in the 2nd round. Granted, he beat up kell, broke his eye etc but still. He doesn't seem to be a very smart boxer like say a power puncher like Kovalev. He lacks head movement, he basically just comes forward sometimes just wide open..sorta dumb.. he has no elegance...robotic... I guess its worked for him because of his two big strengths. I think if he gets in there with someone with a chin who can bang he will have big problems. I think he'll probably beat Canelo but he looks very hittable and I think a good boxer with power and chin will dismantle him and knock him out.

    GG didn't carry anyone and Ward can fight regardless of your cheap outlook. He goes to your body so you don't need power to beat punchers.

    Big punchers don't always get credit for their ring IQ, but GGG should. He realized in was in there with a faster fighter who could counter. So instead of taking a more measured approach, he made it a street fight, giving his man no quarter and forcing him to trade.

    It wasn't GGG's best night. His jab was working, and he should have used it more to set up his punches. I rewatched the fight. By no means was GGG slow.
