    Brook and Khan DID NOTHING in ''exposing'' GGG or Canelo

    Shane Mosley recently said on Mike Tyson's show with SRL and Hearns, ''Canelo likes to start off slow, GIVE HIS FANS THEIR money's worth...''

    I don't know why fans don't like to acknowledge that GGG was carrying Brook for as long as it lasted, being advised, since it was a mismatch. The WBA didn't even sanction the fight. GGG didn't even pounce back his traditional defense when walking guys down. This shows that he was just pressuring Brook for a bit until he got frustrated with the show... This same theory was said about Kovalev vs Bhop...

    This is the same thing as Canelo vs Khan. These guys knew the fights were a mismatch, so they had to play the part to sacrifice their usual strategies against better threats. Canelo was just walking forward trying to land a home run hook by the ropes, a sloppy style... at the same time, whenever Khan furied combinations Canelo made his miss that it clearly showed levels. Then by Round 3 Canelo started to not play around anymore and Khan had no answers.

    In other words! I love Sprite some times!

    Khan has such fast hands but throws them ridiculously predictably. It was clear as day to me that Canelo was just having a look, getting a feel and just letting Khan feel more confident and less wary and then before you know it its over.

    Golovkin was in a fight he didn't ever want and did nothing for him and he would get no credit for anything he did. he knew Brooks punches would just bounce off him. So he just did what ever he wanted to do. Nothing about Golovkin can be took from that opponent and that performance.

      Both were in safe fights they couldn`t lose. They didn`t even try to win rounds.

        Brook really highlighted how Golovkin freezes and has no defence when combinations come his way and he's a sucker for the uppercut. He just didn't have the durability of Canelo. Canelo followed very similar tactics to Brook in the first fight. To suggest Golovkin let Brook hit him and look bad is ridiculous. Golovkin was visibly rattled and angry. He came out swinging and almost dropped Brook in round 1, he went all out and tried to decapitate him in round 3 (the round Brook got the eye injury). But he was carrying Brook right? GTFOH.

        Fighters at 135/140/147 had problems with Khan's speed, Canelo was never going to look good as long as it lasted. But he stayed calm and composed because he knew e would catch him.

          Well I'd hope not since they were both dragged up from 2 weight classes below!

            That's usually how bigger men fight smaller faster fighters, they have a speed disadvantage but they usually know all they really need is one good shot and the fight is over. People getting hyped because Brook and Khan took a few rounds off GGG and Nelo is some fools gold grasping for straws **** people use to detract from them(although Brook did legitimately frustrate GGG slightly with his boxing ability).

              I think they both just struggled with the speed of the smaller men early on.
              Smaller, faster fighters almost always start off better and it takes a few rounds for the bigger man to adjust and get their timing down.

                Brook showed that a high level boxer can outbox GGG.

                Khan showed that a high level boxer can outbox Canelo.

                  Haha see I knew you were smart. You were just pretending that GGG was some elite fighter in that other thread.

                    Both fights represent the easy UK money. It was a business decision. Neither fighter was in collision course with the other or wasn't even mentioned before.
