    Jacobs was a 6-6 and GGG won thanks to the KD.

    Then he beat Canelo the first fight. We all saw that.

    Everything else you said happened when he was 37+ years old. Age happened to him, not Kell Brook.

      Why not just say Kassim ouma made ggg lose his aura and made him decline? Ouma did 10 times better than brook. Not all fights are walks in the park but largely dominating a guy and knocking him out in 5 proves he's not good makes little sense...

      brook never had ggg hurt so not sure why you said that. He hit him with some big shots but that doesn't mean he was hurt. And losing to jacobs...not very credible. He clearly won that one he just didn't do as well as some expected but like you have already shown you expected him to be a "monster" and when he was just pretty good you think he lost when he clearly won the boxing match. Same thing happened in the first canelo fight. He wasn't dominant just a clear winner...oh he lost. No. Curse of high standards I suppose.

        Those 3 fighters he lost to was when he was shot and badly drained. Drained and coming from a stoppage defeat and a cracked eye socket. Facing a fighter much bigger than him.

        None of those 3 would come anywhere near to winning under the same circumstances. They don't do as well as Kell in those fights either.

          GGG almost finishes Brook in the first round. Then he decided to make the fight longer and chill in the 2nd round, and suddenly, he "was exposed". After that GGG again came to finish Brook, and he did.

            this explains his hatred for Eubank Jr who lost his pen last second and then the offer came on Kell's table.

                This is true but he still won 4 to 5 rounds while brook won 1 so ggg lost his aura I guess even though the ouma fight happened before he even came to the USA or maybe not every fight is a blow out but that doesn't mean a fighter is shot or on the decline. Even prime Floyd looked pretty bad against Corley Judah and others. Decline!

                  Who's fault is it? They go up in weight daring to be great and if they win (see ginger vs kovalev) they're superman, but if they lose (see ginger vs bivol) they're too small and they have an old injury.

                    It was brave of Kell to fight Golovkin, but not very wise of him.
