Kell Brook's resume at times has been questioned due to lack of big name opposition. The Shawn Porter win was an A+ win, especially considering he went on to rough up the supposed next big thing in Keith Thurman. Some would say that fight showed Brook is the class of the division. Brook's shots kept Porter at bay, but Porter walked through flush Thurman shots. Brook's win over Porter was clear, Thurman escaped with a controversial Al Haymon decision. Now Brook moves up two full weight classes to take on undefeated unified MW champion boogeyman Golovkin. Where will you place Kell when he outslicks GGG? When he eats the shots of Gennad and keeps coming? When he takes not only takes that funny english speaking guy to town and shows him a superior form of speaking in a comically unpleasant way? I'd say this puts him right behind Ward in the #2 spot P4P.

If Brook steps in and boxes Golovkin's ears off to a wide decision, people will look to who Golovkin had spent the last 4-6 years fighting, acknowledge that the comp was bunk, and Golovkin would be seen as a hype job.

This is what the AtG list looks like right now:
1. Golovkin
2. Marciano
3. Duran
4. Greb
5. Dempsey
6. Pep
7. Benny Leonard
8. Klitschko
9. Mickey Walker
10. Fitzsimmons
It'll be a TOUGH task jumping over so many names but the odds are in his favor. Gennady took the risk of fighting the undefeated Brook in his hometown, he WILL HAVE TO KO, otherwise, Brook will win by decision. He boxes better than floyd and hes bigger.

Who else, Ward, Kovalev, Chocolatito, Rigo - Anyone of them has moved up two weightclasses to beat a super champion no one wants to fight?
none.
If Brook fought GGG and somehow beat him, then he'd be the best.
Moving up two divisions to beat him would be a greater achievement than any of the other contenders for the throne.
