Comments Thread For: Sugar Ray Leonard on What Brook Needs To Shock Golovkin

... an old and shot Senchenko badly stunned Brook in the 4th... now go figure out...

Yeah ... based on how he fought against Hagler, as a WW moving up to fight a MW

That's a comparison, between his situation vs Hagler and Kell's situation vs GGG.

You said he is comparing Brook to himsel. That is just not true. He was comparing their situations in moving up. My guess is he could do that with many fighters who have moved up in weight. He certainly wasn't comparing styles, resumes, accomplishments or skill against his own, and that is how your post came off.

I do not remember people criticizing Hagler for making this fight with SRL the way people today criticize GGG? I was only 17 and there was no internet but I remember people were looking forward to it?

Brook isn't Ray Leonard atleast a couple of levels below . That is why.

That's a strawman you have set up yourself. Have fun with it!

And neither was Leonard, so you had no reason to make a claim that "Sugar Ray himself is comparing Kell Brook to him". As I stated, he was comparing situations. But hey, I guess that's just a straw man I've set up for myself.

No reason at all why GGG should have accepted a catchweight from Canelo. but he was never even offered one.

Canelo after beating Khan: "Weight will not be an issue. I will fight GGG at 160"

Well actually before the huge lie & duck, ****nelo did insist that he would only face Golovkin @ 155.

A powerful taser is what Brook needs to shock Golovkin.

ok thanks, nobody said Brook and SRL are on the same level ...I don't put GGG on Hagler's level, people criticize instead of understanding how hard it for GGG to find a credible opponent. Where the f--k is BJS...Jacobs???

Did you read the article? Sugar Ray himself is comparing Kell Brook to him!

PS The way you suck AJ's cock at this forum is an embarrassment to other Brit posters.

Not at all son...I just see a better all round athlete who hasn't stooped down to taking nandrolone to beat a 40 year old heavyweight and it's actually embarrassing to see a grown adult still be a groupie of Tyson fury dotted all over your profile after what he has done.....Joshua is a better athlete, a better role model and will surpass fury in every way....Joshua would have had 4 fights by the time fury would have stepped in the ring again...in my eyes that's a far better athlete and boxer......I've always said Joshua is head and shoulders above a Tyson fury and looks what's happening ...take that cheating bum of your profile ffs

Ffs ... the similarities between Brook and SRL ... both being WW's moving up to fight a bigger MW champ ... are an integral part of the situation that Leornard is talking about.

Maybe if a professor of linguistics did a formal analysis of the deep semantic structure of the sentence "Sugar Ray himself is comparing Kell Brook to him" he might conclude that I was talking out of my arse there, but come on now .. you what I meant innit?
