Is Brook a good win for Golovkin?

[bigdunny1]

Fuck and no. It's a shameful fight. He's a better calibre of fighter than anyone he's faced, but he's two divisions smaller ffs.

^^^^^This. And it's priceless watching the same phony GGG fans who killed Canelo for fighting khan yet now embarrass themselves defending GGG who is doing something way worse. Canelo is basically a SWW and khan went up 8 pounds. GGG is a full fledge career middleweight dragging Brook up 13 pounds.

OK, let's get this out of the way. How much credit so you give Golovkin should he beat Brook?

No credit.

Brook is bigger, sturdier, plain better than Khan. He was also not cherry picked like Khan, he was offered to them by his promoter after 4 top MWs ducked out in a span of 6 weeks. It's a **** fight, just not Khan ****ty, and without the subsequent super duck

It's an ok win, should be an option on the poll...


A middleweight champ beating an undefeated welter champ is not a horrible win...

Haglers greatest win ever was ko'ing former welter hearns.
Obviously Brook is no hearns, but Golovkin is no hagler..
Same thing with hopkins and tito

Depending on what Brook does the rest of career, this could be an epic win for ggg...

If Golovkin wins in dominant fashion, then it's an okay/good win over an undefeated welter champ..

The sad thing is that Eubanks, canelo, saunders all ran from fighting Golovkin, and a welter champ like Brook had the balls to step up...

Props to Brook,,, even if he gets decimated, he gets my respect for challenging ggg

I think it'll hit GGG's reputation.

I don't care how skilled a boxer Brook is.
Divisions matter for a reason. It's just the strength disparity is so insane, that if Brook even moved around running, he'd get bullied by a big puncher in Golovkin.

Not even a 154 fighter?

Man, what has boxing become?

[Francis M.]

Don't know what GGG's team was thinking? They Know that Canelo took so much flack for Khan.

Why take the cowards road map?

Yea, I started with an open mind but there's no logical justification.
If the guy wasn't consistently criticized (even by his own network) for his resume then it wouldn't be a big deal. But, this is drawing attention to his biggest problem. It's unreasonable to believe that they couldn't find anyone at 154 or 168 to fight. The few fans of his defending it are just making noise because that's all they know how to do. They've never said an objective word about the man.

Heck I was a huge fan of GGG, at least with the whole middleweight division shook cr[ap.

Now this garbage comes out and Mr. respect the sport doe is pulling out some shady WW beating garbage on t.v.

?? I'm actually so confused with how this was agreed upon? Like it makes absolutely no sense. It's far worse imo than Canelo-Khan fight. At least Canelo fought a WW at 155?
I think I read this is going on at 160??
I mean the guy should go up to 175 just to clear his name from this stunt.

Sources are saying that GGG will make Brook wear extra padded gloves.
