    We havent seen him at MW but we have seen him at LMW and he looked good at that weight, admittedly that is a weight below but I think a hydrated Brook will have a sturdier punch resistance and a bit more weight behind his shots

    People should know by now that my prediction threads have come in time and time again.
    I remember many years ago when I was saying B Douglas would beat Tyson, how people said I didnt know what I was talking about but... They said the same when I made all these other predictions that were against the grain but act like they knew all along until I bump the threads.
    Think they forgot how I said Fury would outpoint Wlad and how it would go and why

    The body shots are the concern I have for Brook. I dont think he will be taken out by a head shot but think the body shots could cause problems but Im expecting Brook to be on form

    don't think ive ever seen him at jmw.

    he rematched carson jones at a 152 CW. that was just another fight against a welter.
    he never faced a fully fledged 154 pounder to determine how he'd do against them. 160 is a task too far

    Sorry Bailey but Brook will not be able to absorb that kind of punishment. Be real

    Wow...you said Smith wins a DECISION over Canelo ?!?...dayuuummmm

    got to see this to believe it. IMO Canelo TKO 9

    I lol'd at this too. It does seem a somewhat fanciful statement.

    I think person able to think rationally would never ever pick against Golovkin at 160. At least not this year. That said, I give Brook a chance to go 12rds if he is able;

    1.) To be as aggressive as Proksa (To make Golovkin hesitate)
    2.) as strong as Stevens (To make Golovkin cautious, prevent him to commit his punches)
    3.) as fast on his hands as Stevens (Beat him to the punch)
    4.) as tough as Lemieux (Ability to take Golovkin power and keep the fight in the middle of the ring)
    5.) as game as Rosado (Make it more unpredictable)
    6.) to be faster on his feet than Monroe jr. (To escape corners)
    7.) to be as durable as Murray

    I predict he can pull of #3, he might pull of #1 and #5, but I´m afraid #2, #4, #6 and #7 will be his downfall.

    Predictions: 1. Golovkin hurts him in rd 2, carries him to 6th. TKO6
    2. Golovkin outboxes him, for the first 7rds and knocks him out at 8th. KO8

    Brook has no chance.
    You can't grow into a division in 1 training camp.

    the only way brook wins is through brit officiating

    Even then, it would have to be some extreme officiating. Unless the ref actually starts holding GGG's arms behind his back and allowing Brook free shots, I can't realistically see Brook winning.

    I think he might surprise us and last longer than expected, but there is no way in hell he wins this fight. Unless it goes the distance and the Brits rob GGG on the cards

    The longer the fight goes, the less chance Brook has of winning. He might shock the nation and knock GGG out early. As for Canelo, I truly hopes he gets a royal beat down. I don't know much about Smith but I just don't care for Canelo or his antics.

    Mainly I hope both fights are fought on the level with no controversy & the better man getting the win
    I must give Kudos to Kell Brook for having the stones to fight Gennady Golovkin. He's doing something that no other 160 pound contender has the courage to do
