Rosado: Brook is a better fighter than Golovkin

[MDPopescu]

Golovkin can make mistakes and get caught and Brook can't.

Unless Brook can actually hurt GGG it is hard to see anything but a GGG stoppage and I always back a Brit. I suppose anything can happen when an accurate puncher hits someone on the chin though.

Watch the Senchenko fight -- the 4th round, when Brook was badly stunned by an old and shot Senchenko.

That's what he's saying, if Brook makes a mistake he'll get hurt.

Smaller guys are almost always more skilled at comparable levels on average. And quick. The bigger you are the more power & strength come into play. Thus the smaller you are the more skills you need to compete at a higher level. This is like a natural law of fighting you f#cking knuckleheads.

The headline of your thread is misleading. All he said is that Brook was a slightly better boxer than GGG. Boxing skills is just one aspect of being the better fighter. Punching power and the ability to take hard punches are equally important. He picked GGG to win by KO in 6 or 7 rounds so it sounds like he thinks GGG is the better fighter. It's going to be hard for Brook to use the excuse of GGG being so much bigger should he get KOed as expected. A week before the fight he weighs 167 to 162 for GGG. Unless Brook is a fat 167 he is a pretty big guy and not really a 13 pound smaller man naturally than GGG.

How so? He did say Brook is a better fight.

He picked Golovkin to win because of size.

People clutching at straws by sayi ng brook was hurt by senchenko.
Brook has been drained so was easy to hurt. Look at David haye who used to be hurt by light heavyweights. Your punch resistance is less when drained but everyone knows that here don't they? I think some just don't want GGG to get credit.
Brook is a monster at 160

Triple ggg will prove to the world whites will always dominate blacks

Brook is half white.

Always Golovkin fans that start the race bull**** and then claim Golovkin is a victim. GTFO scrub.

Certain demographics are impressed by a 34 y/o fighter with the resume of a 24 y/o prospect.

They are blinded by thirst.

Like Rosado said Golovkins size not skill will be the deciding factor.

The deciding factor will be that Brook gets hit alot with silly shots and he will most certainly be hit alot vs GGG, so unless Brook has an iron chin i dont think he will be able to take GGGs power (that accompanied with him not having fought at the weight before and moving up in weight in a short amount of time
I also agree that Brook is technically the better boxer, but Golovkin is as mentioned very good @ cutting off the ring so im certain he will get to Brook eventually, im just hoping Brook will be able to to take it, if he can then he has a good possibility of winning

Both need to give their all in this matchup as a bad performance from Brook would brand him a bum and a wipeout by Golovkin would brand him a bumbeater

However i dont see the the comparison between this fight and Canelo - Khan, that was a pure mismatch and could only end one way, at first i was skeptic towards this fight but now im really looking forward to it seeing how big Brook is unlike Khan was, Khan just packed on a bunch of gymmuscles while Brook acctually looks alot more physcially big and stocky
