has GGG made a mistake picking brook?

[Madison Boxing]

the more i hear about brook the more i feel this is going to be a tough night for GGG after picking a 36-0 opponent. All the noise coming out of the brook camp is that he is having a great camp and brook appears to be supremely confident.Hes got a university sports science team behind him, is in absolutely tremendous shape, outweighing GGG and hes also got hometown advantage. This is a high risk low reward fight, if GGG wins he wont get credit cause people will say hes beat a welter, and if he struggles or loses people will say hes exposed, dont think people realise how hard an opponent this is...

im not sure, know GGG is a clear favourite but think people are overlooking brook and dont realise what hes capable of.

This is not a high risk fight. It's a 90/10 fight that will get GGG another KO win and keep him undefeated while awaiting the Canelo fight in September 2017.

Every fight GGG and Canelo have between now and then will be easy fights designed to make both look good.

We as fans know how HBO builds to fights. Why are we pretending they are changing this startegy now?

7 to 1 in favor of Golovkin.

He didn't really 'pick' him. He was either stuck with him or forced to give up the arena, probably the HBO date and would have fought some 15th ranked MW that noone ever heard of.

So, no, not a mistake.

Stop trying to build up Brook and justify this sham of a mismatch.

He's done that before...

Eubanks, Jacobs, Canelo, Saunders chickened out and Brook was the one who stepped up. People need to start trashing the ducks instead of the guy being ducked like a disease.

Is it so hard to attack ducks these days? They are the ones causing all these problems in the sport. Come on people!

it is a high risk fight, dont know why people are makin brook out to be some bum. 36-0, beat showtime porter in USA, if he copes with the weight well (which hes got a university helping him with) then why wouldnt this be a great fight?
