    All I hear is that GGG will beat brook cause of the weight issue. Nothing about GGG beating brook because he's more skilful or he's the better boxer. So how can peeps rank GGG higher than brook. If brook would beat GGG if the same weight then no matter what happens in a few weeks brook is the better fighter.

    Agreed

    Well Golovkin can beat a lot of better pure boxers than himself, so not sure your point. Michael Spinks was a better pure boxer than Tyson, but it's sort of a moot point.

    Well we'll see, it's not like GGG's got much height and reach advantage on him, if Brook is the better boxer he should be able to cause at least some trouble early on.

    no, ggg is a better all around fighter, he would win even if they shared identical weight and dimensions.

    No.

    But he'd have a fair chance, instead of zero chance as it is currently.

    Brook is a massive welter

    Gennady is a small middle

    The difference wont be Khaneloesque

    Skills pay the bills

    GGG is a big middleweight

    Canelo is a big Jr Middleweight and Khan was an above average 147lbser. The Canelo vs Khan size difference is probably smaller tbh.

    GGG would beat a 200 lb Brooks.

    Different skill set, chin and power.

    If weight wasn't an issue Brook wouldn't be fighting GGG because he wouldn't have an excuse to fall back on when he loses.
