Comments Thread For: Brook: Sugar Ray Robinson Beat Bigger Men, Leonard Did Too

[Larry the boss]

Brooks allowed one bad performance when drained.



But brook maybe better at 160 than 147. Brook seems to ypthink he will be better at higher weight.

So did Amir Khan

I just hope for Brook's sake, that his corner keeps a very close and watchful eye on him throughout this bout because if they are not careful, they will run the risk of ruining this kid's career in one fight.

Therefore, If Kell's not being competitive and just being brave in absorbing unwarranted punishment from Golovkin, then hopefully they won't hesitate in stopping the fight. The reason I say this because he is not chinny like Amir Khan.

Those guys were far more athletic and they transitioned between offense and defense considerably better than Brook. I'm not caught up in how Brook looks physically like everyone else, if you grabbed Berto around the same weight, solely taking a good look, idiots on here would assume he can fight at 160.

no i wouldnt, im a fan of brook. I'd probably fancy brook to beat saunders to be honest if he manages the weight jump well.

Fair enough. I'd probably disagree tbh. Saunders is one of the best pure boxers in the sport and a bad style for Kell.

[HURTFEELINGS]

Sugar Ray Brook, huh?

So did Amir Khan say he'd be better at higher weight

Always comparing to khan who got ko,ed fior fun every weight he's campocampoaigned at. He only said he'd be better at higher weight to make excuses for his losses. Brook has no resason to make excuses he's unbeaten.
Brook speaks truth, he has been struggling with weight so its self explanatory brook should do better when not struggling. He spars with heavyweights. Would khan do that? GGG won't shoick brook, he's used to it

spence and vargas have done nothing, and vargas is pretty average. brook beat porter whos done more than both of them. ring had brook as number 1 for a reason. Yeah spence is a really dangerous fighter but im not having it that brooks more scared of spence than golovkin and thats why hes gone up to middleweight.

He's not more scared of them, he's more scared of LOSING to them! Get it now?

[bigjavi973]

If I was a betting man, what should make me believe that u can follow in the steps of Robinson and Leonard? Brook has been a pro for 12 years and only had 1 credible name on his record and that was a razor close fight that could've gona either way, there's absolutely nothing that Brook has done that can really convince me that he can even be competitive at Middleweight, he wasn't even the best at welterweight, this is as clear as a money a grab as it can be really, nothing more nothing less.

WOW

Brook: Sugar Ray Robinson Beat Bigger Men, Leonard Did Too

Kell Brook wants to align himself with the all-time greats of boxing by dethroning feared middleweight king Gennady Golovkin in London next Saturday. IBF welterweight champion Brook will jump two weight divisions to face similarly undefeated WBC, WBA, IBO and IBF ruler Golovkin, whose fearsome punching power has brought a remarkable 32 of his 35 professional wins by knockout.
