Monroe was straight trash tonight, GGG had a hard time with him.

    I made an error, I originally stated I had Khan winning 4-2 going into the 6th round, but that's mathematically impossible. Let me clarify, I had Khan winning 3-2 going into the 6th.

    I know, right?! Holy **** GGG is dead in the water against ATG TBE Canelo. I mean, damn...if GGG somehow got the stoppage against Canelo that would be legendary. We're talking Douglas-Tyson level upset.

    Okay round 1 is certainly debatable, round 2 to brook, 3 to GGG, And 4 to GGG.. I'll give round 1 to brook, but round 3 is debatable... one thing I know for sure is that Brook made GGG miss a lot and had the fight not been dealt the circumstances it was, who knows how well Brook would have perormed... He impressed me against GGG.

    Do you think GGG looked good in that fight. Was he sharp?

    He'll no... Brook put out the blueprint out on how you need to fight GGG and be succesful.. Canelo is a whole different beast... be aggressive all you want to against Canelo, but when you miss and he makes you pay with sharp counters, you'll back up.. They all do.

    Liam Smith Euro Level.
    Khan Glass Jaw KO'd twice, dropped countless times, outboxed by Peterson.
    Cotto several losses, twice stopped, clearly past his best days.
    Kirkland stopped in 1 by Ishida.
    Lara rightfully has draws with Molina, Vanes and was almost KO'd by Angulo, Canelo barely beat him.
    Angulo half dead walking corpse.
    He lost to Mayweather, doesn't count.
    Trout, best win, old Cotto, and Canelo should have drawn with him.
    Josesito.... hahahahaha
    Mosley old as s*** and past it.


    Be honest, its not all that impressive is it?

    Okay. Let's do that.

    1. Liam Smith 1. Kell Brook
    2. Amir Khan 2. Dominic Wade
    3. Miguel Cotto 3. David Lemieux
    4. James Kirkland 4.Willie Monroe Jr
    5. Erislanda Lara 5. Martin Murray
    6.Alfredo Angulo 6. Marco Rubio
    7. Floyd Mayweather Jr 7. Daniel Geale
    8. Austin Trout 8. Adama
    9. Josesito Lopez 9. Curtis Stevens
    10. Shane Mosely 10. Matthew Macklin

    Who on this list do you think GGG wouldn't beat? Because there are guys on GGG's list that I honestly think would have given Canelo problems if they fought at around the same time. Also don't even bother arguing Mayweather since Canelo didn't even come close to winning that fight.

    How do you give round 1 to Brook when he almost got knocked down? The best you could argue is that it was a 10-10 and it wasn't even that. Come on bro; this fight is not hard to score at all. That being said, Brook impressed me a lot too. Great fighter, tremendous heart.

    That eye argument is so poor too. You may as well say "If GGG didn't hit Brook so hard Brook would have won". GGG busted him up from a punch. Even if it didn't break his eye socket he would have KO'd him anyway from the body ---> head combos.

    Brook was affected way more than GGG. And the third is the start of Brook's accuracy turning to **** from his broken orbital bone disrupting his vision. Also, the third is where the knockdown happened that was ruled a slip. Watch that one again. That was a knockdown. If you are referring to the first round in this post then...What? You don't get hurt like that and not damage your opponent and then win that same round.

    There's 3 minutes to a round. If GGG rocks Brook a minute into the fight and Brook recovers, there's still 2 minutes left to that round. If Brook comes back and puts some **** on GGG, like that uppercut that lifted GGG off the ground and Brook teed off on him, coupled in on what he did after being rocked, you give the round to brook imo...Round 2 was a clear round for Brook, 3 and 4, hey give it to GGG, it supports my claim for Brook going into the 5th round tied... And that's certainly plausible, so what seems to be your problem?

    No way man; he recovered enough to make a fight of it but he definitely did not do enough to win that round. You would have to downplay a lot of what GGG did in that round. If Brook didn't get cracked like that, then you, sure, give him the round. It would be edging the round to him but go ahead. But factoring in him getting buzzed like that? No way you can argue anything more than 10-10 and even that is weird, I'm sorry I just can't see it.
