Has there been a worse exaggeration than "Brook exposed Golovkin?"

Yes, there's been worst exaggerations like "Marquez had pacquiao's number"

 

Golovkin would fight anyone between 154-168
Golovkin would KO anyone between 160-175
Golovkin would KO HWs
Golovkin is greater than Hopkins and Hagler

 

brook exposed nothing he had a decent round 2 then after he got beated to a pulp

 

He had his number by getting his skull literally cracked. Cannot beat that idea for sure.

 

hearn went full ****** on this one. congratulating himself on making the deal of the year which involves sending one of the best 147 fighters (whose career under matchroom has gone nowhere) out to a living monster two weights above for his first time at that weight, then watches him get his face smashed in and broken within the first minute.

"wow, brook really had triple g scared there. exposed him completely!"

 

Once Herol claimed he had four inches.

 

I agree. Whenever I hear someone claim that Brook did real good in that fight I just sort of raise and eyebrow and move on.

 

Golovkin walked right through Brook and made him quit like a *****. Heck of an exposing if you ask me.

 

I don't think Brook exposed Golovkin by any stretch of the imagination, but he made Golovkin look human, unlike the other low tier fighters we were accustomed to seeing against GGG.

What it answered was what most of us knew, that as he moved up in quality of opposition, Golovkin would not be as dominant. Just imagine if Brook was a true MW, and had been adapted to fighting against MWs. The fight may have turned out differently. Once GGG fought a decent man his own size, he had a very tough time and can be argued that he may have lost.

 

I think it's because you have a different understanding of "exposed" than those claiming Brook exposed Golovkin. You can KO your opponent and still be exposed in the process. We saw he can't box as well as Brook so he resorted to his size advantage.

 

Golovkin let him off the hook in round 1 when Brook was moved around by a body shot.

 

Brook exposed a flaw in Golovkin's game. When an opponent is throwing punches, GGG just backs up with the high guard. He doesn't throw with you. GGG waits his turn to throw back. We saw glimpse of this in the Monroe fight. Brook made it very clear. Jacobs even more so.

Its simply a flaw in Golovkins game. His outright domination of nearly every other opponent hid this flaw. Perfect example is the Murray fight where after round 3 you saw Murray lose every single round as he had his back to the ropes getting beat up. Hard to see GGGs flaws when he was in fights like that.

 

Brook exposed certain weaknesses in that fight but by no means did he "expose completely" Golovkin. He beat Golovkin in the center of the ring, he often countered and outsmarted Golovkin. Golovkin's success came from cutting the ring and pinning Brook against the ropes, then imposing his size and power.
