Brook/Khan comparisons must stop.

    I have never compared Khan with Brook. I think Brook is much better and would knock Khan out. I disagree that Khan is a natural lightweight. He is a big welterweight and he outgrew lightweight years ago. Brook is a good puncher but today's Canelo hits a hell of a lot harder than Brook regardless of common opponent Hatton saying Brook hits harder. Can you imagine Porter going the full distance with Canelo? I can't. Hatton fought Canelo many years ago. Canelo hits much harder these days as Khan and Kirkland could tell you. Of course I think GGG will almost certainly beat up and knock out Brook. What has Brook ever done in the ring to make me think otherwise?

      You know about the odds that GGG vs Eubank or Saunders had? GGG was 8:1, 9:1 favorite, same as against most other Top MWs.

      GGG is only 5:1 over Brook at most casinos/betting sites.

        Ok we get it bro, you want to come off as a witty and cool dude. No need to try so hard in every thread.

              I'm a GGG fan, think the fight is a mismatch, but agree with everything you said.
              Canelo choosing Khan when he could literally fight anyone he wanted from 147-160 and GGG settling on Brook after Canelo,Jacobs,Saunders and Eubank didn't want the fight are polar opposites..

              Again, for the feeble minded ones who hate GGG for reasons beyond boxing, the fight with Brook sucks but it's not even close to the same as Canelo-Khan in circumstances, only the weight differences.

                Tommy Hearns, Duran and Leonard did nothing for Hagler then in your opinion? They were all shit fights?

                That is really really funny.
                you talk as if my avatar, represented who I'am, or which are my favorites fighters..

                Nope, sorry is just a boxing avatar.(good fight doe)

                Look I'm a GGG fan..but the guy is a WW, period. This is a business fight I understand that.

                Still, I'm gonna see the fight, I live in South America, so here probably a local channel will air it. I cant complain about PPV and those kind of things.

                  Brook is a career 147 pounder who has real KO power since he's really a 154 pounder draining himself. Common opponents have said he hits harder than Canelo. And Brook has never been knocked out or outboxed, ever.

                  If you think GGG wins, fine. But stop comparing Brook to Khan, it's apples and rocks and disrespectful to Brook who has never been defeated.
                  no matter how you slice it....GGG should be fighting someone from 154-168...not a welterweight titlist with literally one win over a top ten opponent

                  its pathetic

                  I agree it doesnt compare to Canelo vs khan, its actually worse.....Canelo never fought over 155....GGG is a full fledged middleweight and comes in the ring 170+....Also consider the hype behind GGG, top 3 p4p supposedly. He should be fighting better opposition.

                    Fact is Khan ducked Brook because he knows Brook would have knocked him out in his own country.
