Comments Thread For: Adam Booth: Brook Doesn't Have The Power To Trouble Golovkin

Speed, jab, feints and good movement.Brook will outclass GGG

Kell has good power for a Welterweight but not a one punch knockout guy. To be fair on Kell, not a lot of people possess that. Do think he hurt Porter a lot in their fight but was good on grabbing. I don't think he will be able to do that to GGG but we will have to see.

I always lol whenever these articles write "best p4p fighter"... he shouldn't even be top 10. Oh well, ****** fight and I'd love to see brook with the upset to get this hype job out of here. Even friends who are triple asswipe fans are hoping brook wins just out of how ****** this fight is anyway

Only a bum sitting at home and never been in a real fight would call a Olympian Silver medalist and current unified WBA, WBC, IBF and IBO middleweight Champion a hype job. Obviously with that resume he's no hype job man use your brain.

GGG technically is no one punch KO artist either. It's just a case of a real good WW facing in all likelihood the best MW and 9/10 the WW is not going to win. This isn't the 1980s

Yeah technically not a lot of one punch guys around.

I think people are forgetting there are weight limits for a reason at the lower weights. Great point on it not being the 1980s lol

I say bullshit Adam. One punch can change EVERYTHING, haven't we seen this enough in our lifetimes? Yea I think Brook can hurt GGG, his lead/straight right thing is capable of hitting him clean and doing damage. I'm honestly giving Brook a better shot at getting the nod than Lemieux. Time's running out. If GGG stops Brook, he has nowhere to go but to fight the best from here on out.

Since JMW came about Welters don't jump straight to middleweight.

Before JMW you had middleweight champs weighing in the low 150s.... You're right about size differences being bigger especially without same day weigh-ins. 148-160 used to be middleweight.

IBF welterweight world champion Kell Brook (36-0, 25KOs) is taking a big risk next month, but he's very confident that he will overcome not only moving up two weight divisions, but also the feared power of IBF/WBC/WBA/IBO world middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) when they meet in London on Sept.10.

...and the GGG haters (who simply are not too bright) will always down play the importance of GGG's opponent.....Brook would beat every welterweight in the world, although Errol Spence Jr. is likely as good as Brook....Brook would beat Canelo( for sure).....GGG will win but this is likely going to be GGG's toughest fight....when GGG fought Stevens (There is a boxer named Darnel boon who almost beat Kovalev lost a very close split decision….knocked out Adonis Stevenson….knocked down Andre Ward the only pro to do it…..and Stevens beat Boon fairly easily….Stevens can fight…..and GGG gave Stevens a beat down…)...GGG has fought world class fighters and made it look easy....GGG is that good...

Brook is big and strong, and does in fact have the power to hurt GGG is he walks him into the perfect shot. Hell Sergio Mora has way less power than Brook and he dropped Jacobs. If Brook catches GGG with the shot Mora caught Jacobs with, GGG will be on the canvas. Whether he gets up before 10 is the question.

But, will GGG rush in like Jacobs did? It's probably true that even if Brook hits GGG with a great shot while GGG is stationary, or walking forward slowly, it won't be enough to hurt him. He will really have to walk GGG into the perfect shot while GGG is rushing in or has his chin sticking out.

So it's not impossible. Brook is strong enough to hurt him with the perfect shot. But in terms of general power, on normal shots, no, he's not, Booth is right.
