    No he's not. The only reason It looked that way was because Brook was getting the benefit of the doubt because of weight class difference. GGG threw more, landed more, landed with better accuracy and had the better jab by a margin.

    Yes because of rounds 4 and 5 which happened after the injury. Round 2 a healthy Brook dominated GGG. P4P Brook is better.

    What about round 1? How come GGG was landing his jab at will at a supposedly superior boxer who's also faster? And how come he landed that many left hooks to break his eye socket?

    He lost the fight on the scorecards and in my eyes too - just. But he wasn't found wanting. No way.

    Watch round 1 again, GGG hurt Brook at the start of the round but after that it was mostly Brook.

    Those uppercuts that Brook was landing were the best punches of the fight. Imagine if GGG had the boxing ability to land those shots. GGG wins fights because of his physical attributes (power, aggresion, chin) because he is usually facing outmatched fighters. This time he was facing a fighter who he only outmatched in size and strength but not skill, and thats why Brook had a lot of success in the fight until the injury.

    I watched It four times, enough is enough. It was a very, very clear GGG round without Brook getting hurt or not. You and I both know exchanging jabs has nothing to do with size and GGG had his going very well. He got hit with similar shots by Ouma, Murray and Monroe as well. GGG always becomes reckless and kinda sloppy when he doesn't respect his opponents power. Even then, he was still outlanding Brook except for 1 round.

    Ehh , hes rated too high for my liking .

    Number 9 or 8 I don't have a problem with that . But definitely not top 5 .

    Its just too bad the fighters in his division want nothing to do with the guy . It will hurt his legacy regardless whether its his fault or not .

    He ate the shots of a blown up welterweight. My concern for LomaPac at 135 is that Loma may not even hit hard enough against a huge 135lber in Pac. I don't recall Brook landing any great power shots.

    Your statement is very, very debatable.

    Golovkin rules his division (a mediorcre to moderate one), with an
    iron fist. He should be in the top 10. But there are people under him
    that have accomplished more, in more divisions against better comp.

    Rigo, Loma, Crawford should all be higher.
