    36 pro fights. Many against top 10 fighters in the world. Many with decent power. Guy has never been dropped. Never been stunned. Never been wobbled. Never been buckled. Hardly ever even backed up.

    Wasn't even dropped in the amatuers.

    How is that possible as an offensive fighter. He gets hit, but just gives zero ****s.

    Good chin, but tested against a WW... Brook had better power than all of GGG'S opponents so far... he's never looked this vunerable before. Same with Roman, Saturday was a taste into the minds of the fans everywhere... these guys are not unbeatable... NOBODY is!!

    It's yet to be tested against a really proven high quality puncher though there doesn't seem like there is anyone that has the power to really test it at middleweight. From what we've seen his chin looks rock solid, reminds me a little of Froch in regards to how easy he is to hit but how he just takes it all anyway and keeps going.

    Lemieux has far greater power than Brook.

    Froch was easier to hit. Froch had no choice, but to brawl. Whereas With Golovkin brawling is just another tool in the shed at his disposal.

    Wach and Provo trump him in that regard imo.
    Froch had a very good chin, but has been down and on qu__r street a couple of times in fights.

    He has let himself get hit in the face too many times, that chin is cracking mark my words.

    I would say David Lemieux hit harder the Brook. But Brook can punch, and he landed flush. GGG has a grade A chin, and nothing he get's hit with changes his heart for battle.

    Very aggressive fighters like Duran and Frazier get hit. GGG in this case did not respect Brook's power and fought sloppy.

    Good post.. but Lemieux might hit harder, but he couldn't show it. Brook put on a better performance in 5 rounds than Lemieux can do in 8... That's what I'm saying here.

    He was stunned , buckled and hurt by a welter weight. A welter who has zero knock outs of any elite leveller.
