Comments Thread For: Loeffler: Golovkin vs. Brook Will NOT Have a Big Size Difference

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, Kell Brook (36-0, 25KOs) - a career welterweight and the current IBF belt-holder in that division - faces IBF, IBO, WBA and WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) in a full-fledged middleweight bout with a weight limit of 160-pounds.

STFU and take your snake oil somewhere else.

Yes, a guy who was just about to take a welterweight fight is going to come in as a true middleweight.
Good luck selling that idea...

If you ask me, Brook is a more complete boxer than that one-dimensional Lara. Brook got good defense and powerful offense. If he manages to withstand GG's initial punches and can return fire with fire, then it will be a long night for GG. Frankly, this fight is dangerous for both fighters. Once Brook hurts GG, the follow up for a KO finish will be massive.

Brook got plenty of time to grow more muscles and get to where he needed to be in the ring.

It doesn't take much 2 figure that out all you have to do is look at the 2 guys GGG is just a small MW, nothing more ...I just don't understand the basis of the article just possibly trying 2 show that Brook, @ least physically, will be almost on par w/ him in skills ...but punch definitely not...

GGG is bigger. You can't really go on height when there's people fighting at 154 or below taller than Mike Tyson. Look at Canelo v Khan, their height was similar but you could see the difference in the ring.

With that said, i don't think he's huge compared to Brook. Brook should probably fight at 154 anyway. The main problem for Brook jumping up 2 weight differences isn't Brook's own size, it's more the fact he's used to fighting Welterweights, and usually not very good ones, to fighting a Middleweight who is one of the best fighters in the world.

I think he will feel the difference between his usual opponents to Golovkin, more so than size difference between him and GGG. I rate Brook and I feel he could compete at 154 and 160 and beat some good opposition but this one is a step too far right now i think.

Utter bullshyt.
He's got 8 weeks. That's a training camp. He has just enough time to get his cardio up and zero time to pack on any muscle.
