TeDuke 276 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 This has all the ingredients for a proper tear up, both can box and are undefeated in 30 plus fights, GGG may have knock out power but so does Brook, everyone seems to forget it took GGG 11 rounds to beat a mediocre Matt Murray, if Brook can carry his speed and movement up through 2 different weight classes he's gonna cause him problems plus he's only going to get stronger with the added weight 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baz 463 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 It's a big opportunity for brook, but in my opinion a big mistake , as been discussed on here recently, moving up weights is a no win situation, but doing it against such a hard hitting opponent is mental, golovkin hits like a steam train, hopefully brook comes out of this well at the end 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogFox123 1,379 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) GGG deserves some stick as well, he slated Canelo for fighting Khan and then he signs to fight Brook...... Edited July 9, 2016 by DogFox123 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DogFox123 1,379 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Excatly pal I reckon Brook walks around closer to the weight of GGG than Khan does to Canelo... I heard GGG wanted no part of Ward either, saying that you don't have to move up divisions to be an ATG, Hagler showed that but GGG is pushing 35 and he hasn't fought anyone yet.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,664 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 People keep saying fair play to Brook for " taking the fight "......its like winning the lottery of course he,s going to take the fight......most fighters who are not expected to win get paid peanuts Brook is getting extremely well paid for a fight he is expected to lose its the position any fighter would love to be in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Whats the story with these catch weight fights? Ggg should be fighting canelo, an khan vs brooks jmho though Canelo didnt want to know and niether did Khan...Brooks up for it and Glovkins happy to get it on...to be honest i can only see one outcome...but Brook has nothing to lose and a ton of money to make...if...and its a big if...Kell pulls it off it would be one of the biggest upsets in a British ring...them Eubanks are looking pretty f***ing stupid right now eh?...Jnr should make his old man take a backseat and get himself a new trainer while hes about it imo Edited July 9, 2016 by AKA-BRINDLE 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickC 1,825 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Full blown middleweights can't live with GGG,the mans a wrecking machine no wonder he can't get anybody to fight him,even his mandatorys don't want to fight him.If he could have got the other belt holders to fight him he would have had all the belts a couple of year ago ( bet he regrets the step aside money he got to let Martinez fight Cotto ) I don't want to see Brook fight this GGG this could end badly,big money or not,this is not a good fight for Brook,had GGG been American he'd be a massive ppv fighter and should rightfully be the pound for pound no1 fighter in the World not that Canoyellow.

Plus if you watch ggg he is pretty confident in his chin walking forward onto middleweight so I don't think brook will trouble him too much power wise. Still though brooks a good fighter and the possibility of an upset can't be ruled out Murray imo is mediocre he's not world class or an elite level fighter, he's lost all 3 of his world title challenges where a world class or elite level fighter would have won the first 2 , granted he got robbed of a draw in Argentina but that's not winning is it, Brook is a different kettle of fish he imo is a world class fighter soon to be in the elite level, when he went to America and schooled porter in his own back yard when everyone else wrote him off spoke volumes hence why he's had to fight bum mandatorys until this ggg fight, he's 1 of if not the hardest hitting welter out there and with a extra weight I can only see him getting stronger and his punching power increasing, I might be wrong and ggg might just walk through his shots but I can definitely see him causing him more trouble than people think 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Murray drew with Sturm in Germany...got robbed in Argentina and lost in Abraham's backyard to a close split descision...not so much mediocre...more like bad luck... certainly no shame in losing to Golovkin...as time will tell 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
