The good news; Brook will be Golovkin's toughest opponent to date! The bad news? Brook will be Golovkin's toughest opponent to date.
lol I never thought of it that way... Although I would argue that Brook will be GGG's toughest opponent...
To be honest, it's a lose/lose situation. If GGG goes out there and knocks him out early rounds, the world would criticize him for picking on a midget. If he loses some rounds/looks bad, he'll be criticized for struggling with a midget.
I guess GGG's motivation is the purse here. I take it this will be his career high payday so he will probably accept people won't give him credit for beating Brook as long as he gets paid handsomely.
