    Moving up or down in weight is very simple. It's about P4P. If Brook moves up and loses no speed, strength or power relative to his opponent then he'll be class. The reality is that is very hard to do.

    There are some exceptions, for example Pac moved up, wasn't quite as powerful but the calibre of opponent became less skilled and stylistically better suited so his dip in power did not affect him as much.

    Agree with you on Lemieux, but Stevens is a legitimate KO puncher who Brook would be a huge underdog against. Your high rating of Monroe baffles me.

    Martin Murray is Carson Jones x1000.

    Martin would murder Kell.

    Geale would beat Kell, Leimuex would spark him.

    I was thinking the same really. From what I remember the odds on Lemieux beating GGG was higher than the 5/1 being offered on Brook. Who knows maybe Lemieux is overrated, however he went into the GGG fight in excellent form at Middleweight.

    Also Martin Murray was around the 10/1 mark against GGG.

    Golovkin makes very good fighters look ordinary.

    Brook will be broken down as Khan was. Wait until he tastes dome of those body shots.

    Golovkin will knock Brook out, but the UK referee will do all he can do to help Brook, the UK judges have already filled out their cards and the UK boxing commission will do whatever they can do to help Brooks as well, still, Golovkin has to knock Brooks out, but the ref will be protecting Brook.........................
