Comments Thread For: Hearn Explains Why Golovkin vs. Brook is NOT Canelo-Khan

[Adonis Creed]

What a load of bollocks. He only tried to get Canelo, Eubank and Brook. He didn't even try to get guys like Lara, Charlos, Jack or De gale instead of the welterweight. Cherry pick.

No other mw are gonna fight him tho. Jack and Degale would have a chance of beating him but i think they'll fight each other next. The Charlos are bigger but not really better than Brook. Lara has skill and experience and would have i liked that better but he really had a small chance to win anyway.

Lol a lot of boxing fans are phuckin babies. Lol I mean here we have fighters risking their lives and we complain about crazy match ups but then when we have match ups like Salka vs DSG.... Yea, I'll take this over That type of card. It's like in fight night the game, see how far you can get with manny pacquiao when you face Robinson at middleweight, not sure if we will win, but it's pretty cool to see someone try. Pacquiao beat a bigger margarito who weighed 17 pounds more so who knows what Kell Brook can do. I like that match up, those complaining are just haters at heart.

Brook an't no damn Pacquiao not even a 1/10th Pacquiao fighter was when climbing up divisions.

Worst comparision eva!

We want competitive and fair matches, not dangerous mismatches Hearn.

Realistically Khan had a much better shot of beating the flat-footed Canelo than Brook has of toppling the powerful all-rounder Golovkin. Even if Brook and Golovkin were the same size (which they're clearly not), GGG would be a strong favourite. Given his natural advantages in size, it's a no-brainer. Golovkin by brutal KO/TKO inside three rounds.

New York - Another day comes and another British welterweight moves up two weight classes to fight a middleweight champion. Kell Brook (36-0,25 KO's) is doing what his countryman Amir Khan did in May when he took on Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez at a catch-weight of 155-pounds.

Exactly you could justify Khan beating Canelo because Canelo has been out boxed by faster guys with good movement. Brook doesn't posses anything to cause GGG problems, he cant hurt him, he isn't fast on his feet or have good hand speed, his power isnt even that good at 147 so it won't dent GGG granite chin anyway. How on earth can he win? He got wobbled by Sechenko and went life and death with Carson Jones, imagine what will happen when GGG detonates on his suspect chin. GGG in 2, unless he plays around with him and gives the crowd some entertainment by letting brook hit him flush and laughing it of.

I agree, I like Brook but I would much sooner him be fighting Thurman than moving up two weights to fight arguably the best p4p guy out there, weight division's are there for good reason!

[Derranged]

This fight is a mismatch. Canelo-Khan was a cherry pick and so is this, there's no defending it.

[tiois85]

Hearn basically can't deliver for Brook and unwilling to invest in Brook hence makes this absurd fight.

The man has no compunction about lying, he is selling one lie on top of the other.

Brook is not the best ww.

Brook is not an elite fighter

Brook doesn't have destructive ko power at ww.


How is Brook gonna hurt a guy who is untouchable against fully fledged mws.

Brook is fragile and weak around the body at ww as it is, there's no scenario he does well, maybe if he can headbutt golovkin and cause a cut early on.


This fight should be avoided.

yea only difference is he bringing you up to full 160 while khunt did get a cw
