Comments Thread For: Brook's Challenge of Golovkin Shows Signs of 1980s Greatness

[kafkod]

for the record ggg wants no part of lara!!! lara has been begging for this fight for years and ggg just pretends that lara does not exist. why? because lara has a high skill set and always moving feet and can take a punch and dish out punches as well. ggg would have been better off dragging up angulo or kirkland since he fears ward and lara.

hey Mr gullible, if Lara really wanted to fight GGG, he would ask Haymon to send Loeffler an offer to promote the fight with him, like Hearn did with Eubank Jnr. All Lara does is talk **** on social media, and it's always AFTER GGG has signed for a fight.

Lara drew with Marty Whatsisname then scraped a decision win against him in the rematch. He got beat by Canelo, and decked twice by a shot Angulo. Kell Brook would beat Lara easily at 154. He doesn't belong in the same ring as Golovkin.

bumlovkin hasn't fought a proper fighter so far and he's 34..what makes you people think he'll do it now?

Stupid comparisons

SRL went on to win super middleweight titles a few years after. He also fought and won at super welterweight before fighting hagler.

Hitman was the wbc super welterweight champ before the hagler fight.

Duran was also fighting at super welterweight before his fight with hagler.

What weights Leornard, Hearns and Duran fought at with day-before weigh ins AFTER moving up for Hagler is not relevent to how those fights with Marvin were made or to what people thought about them WHEN THEY HAPPENED.

Whether Kell Brook could win titles at 168 and 175 is also completely irrelevent to him moving up to 160 for GGG.

It is completely relevant because it tells you how big they were 3 or 6 months after fighting Hagler, or are you trying to suggest their bodies happened to change because it suits your ******ed narrative. All 3 of them, exactly in that period? lol again

Whether Brook will win titles at 168 and 175 is also completely relevant because he is being compared to fighters who did. Time will tell, but it seems by your answer you are confident he won't, which puts him on a lower level than those fighters.

But please do keep climbing on ice with your weak excuses.

No their bodies didn't change. Duran was still a lightweight when he fought Hagler and Hearns was exactly the same size at LHW as he was at WW.

Kell Brook is a propah fighter! A side behbeh.

Brook didn't want a catchweight and he is in no more danger of ending up in a coma than any of GGG's other opponents.

I don't think he can beat Golovkin, but I'm not as worried about Kell taking a bad beating as I was when I heard about Eubank Jnr supposedly going up against GGG.

Brook is an experienced, seasoned pro. And, more importantly he will have a game plan and a seasoned and experienced corner team, rather than no game plan and a crazy mofo like Eubank Snr running the show!

Have to agree. Brook is probably the best GGG will face thus far. It should be a great contest for a short while anyway. Brook has talent and a great deal of confidence. My feeling is that GGG will hurt him early in the fight and it will be a short night for Brook. I hope I'm wrong because I want to see someone who can really test GGG. They all talk a big game prior to the fight (mostly for marketing purposes) but on fight night reality sets in real quick.

lol grasping at straws aren't you? No one ever wrote that they did not get heavier.

Bodies grow gradually. Weight fluctuations are slow (and when they are not, you have RJ-Tarver 1).

Your theory, coupled with the empirical observation of their weights after the Hagler fight contradicts this very basic fact for all fighters discussed. Since you cannot change reality, you should start thinking about changing your dumb theory.

But suit yourself, keep climbing that icewall.

The fighters of the 80's dominated divisions, then when their mission was complete, moved up to seek bigger challenges.

Khan and Brook avoid the best fighters in their division, avoid each other, then go on suicide missions to avoid the embarrassment of getting beaten by their peers.
