How is Brook Suddenly the Best Welterweight?

[FrankieBruno]

Ok I haven't seen that.

Brook doesn't have one advantage over GGG and that's the truth.

Of course anything can happen in boxing, I just don't believe it.

Yes anything can happen, but all signs point to a GGG win

Like you said, this is all about the money

Nobody can knock Brook for taking it.

For a year and a half i have stated on here that Brook was frustrated how his career was going. He was desperate for the Khan fight, he wanted to be center stage and earn millions.

This is what happens when a fighter is desperate for a payday and limelight.

He has got his wish now, but at what price...

Yeah I know, ideally it would be cool to get a significant fight at 168. The Brook fight was on the table though and they took it. They've said they are interested in DeGale at 168 so the one good thing about this mismatch is Golovkin is tapping into the UK market which could make it a lot easier to make other potential UK fights, specifically DeGale. He's fighting Jack in November so if Saunders still isn't ready after Brook, that might be the fight to go for. Other than Jacobs there really isn't anything left (since I assume Canelo still won't be ready).

No disrespect but you seem to be passive and accepting, I'm sure you know that boxing fans, especially around these parts, tend to be passionate, aggressive, and not really laissez faire in their personalities.

You too neutral, I on the other hand think signing fights like this is a crime and cheating/manipulating the sport. Kell Brook has absolutely 0 advantages against Golovkin, a fight between the two shouldn't even be allowed.

Something wrong with taking a balanced view? As to the Brook fight - yeah it's a turd pie, but 'shouldn't be allowed'? A 'crime'? Weirdo.

yeah its a crime, is there not rules in boxing, why is weight class not respected or enforced in this sport? This is not a No Holds Barred sport, this is boxing, you wouldn't see this in amateur boxing so it shouldn't exist in the professional ranks either. Now do I think a smaller man can move up, sure, but not the way Kell Brook is doing it, he hasn't proven anything! He hasn't even fought a junior middleweight how can he get a fight with Golovkin!!

If you still don't see that Brook is the best welterweight on the planet than you are either a jealous khantard, an insecure f10mo, or someone who doesn't know sht about boxing.

Fools like Larry keep saying Brook ain't the best Welter, but can't name anyone better than him.

GTFO of here. Brook is the #1 Welterweight on the planet and will be going up against the #1 Middleweight.

STFU and enjoy the fight.

Look man you have made it clear that you are a Kell Brook fan not a boxing fan....fans for whatever reason dont like to look at facts and the fact is that Brook has not separated himself from any other welterweight title holder.

Amateur boxers move up weightclasses regularly - the difference between am WW and MW is 13lbs, the same as between WW and MW in the pros. Do I think it's wise? No. But Kell's a grown man and has the right to choose.

[JJRalkman]

It's either Brook or Thurman. Personally I have Brook ahead due to him beating Porter more decisively. That doesn't make the Golovkin fight any less pathetic though.

You can't see that Brook schooled Porter much better than Thurman did? That was beautiful boxing. And you call yourself a boxing fan? As for Danny Garcia he is an average fighter who will never be elite.

Bring up a WW you think is better than Brook.

You can't.

Then why have rules at all, why have weight classes at all...cause according to you the only rule is grown man.
