Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Feels Brook Made a Mistake By Bulking Up For Golovkin

[Marvlus Marv]

For once, Khan is right. Brook won't have the footwork to manage more than a couple of rounds until Golovkin starts cutting him off with ease. If he thinks he can outpower Golovkin just because he's been hittin the big weights, then he's going to be sorry.
Brook is sounding like Nathan Cleverly in the run up to the Kovalev fight, telling everyone he was going to meet fire with fire, and we know how that worked out.

All the Amir Khan fans on here trying to discredit Brook is hilarious. Brook is a timing machine, he has enough speed to counter and time his opposition. he has always been bigger when he fights guys. He is also every slick on the inside. This fight will surprise alot of people. GGG may win but it will be alot close than many of these KHOn HUGGERS suggest. Brook should be always fighting at 154 not 147 the proof is in his weights for this fight.

KHAN needs to take advise and seek chin counseling instead of commenting on a guy he is not on the same level with.

win, lose, or draw i'm giving Brook credit for doing what it takes to try to win the fight. secondly atleast he's not making body weight excuses to duck like that guadalajara red coward who comes in on fight night at cruiseweight.

Fact #1: Cruiserweights weight range before the scales goes from 175-200, Toney's average was 195, BJ Flores once rehydrated to 214.

Fact #2: Canelo officially has never weight more than 172 (vs Trout) before entering the ring, everything else is speculation. vs Angulo (he was @170 on fight night)

fact #3: Canelo ducked Golovkin and stood like a Coward.

I agree with Khan for once, it would have been far better to train for speed and mobility than to try to bulk up.

But we'll see.

if these two guys were paying attention on how its done, they should have taken notes from the legend pacman himself. sure margarito is not no canelo or triple g, but khan and brook shouldnt have bulk up to the point where their almost the same weight as their opponents.

this will slow them down by a lot. they should only bulk up a few pounds for punch resistant but still maintain their speed. this is how you beat a bigger guy by attacking and moving. you dont go into a fight fighting a bigger guy head on, thats how you get ko like khan.

I always wondered how Pac was the stronger fighter against Cotto, Margarito, DLH, Mosley and Clottey.

Maybe Brook can also be the stronger fighter like Pac was when he steps in against GGG

he wasnt stronger. he was faster in terms it makes him look stronger. just look at how many punch pac threw at cotto just to get those damage done on him, and then look at what cotto did to pac's ear with fewer punches being thrown. cotto busted pac's ear, the dude had his ear wrapped up after the fight lol. cotto was still the stronger man but pac was faster so pac did more damage.

good ol flint trolling as always..if you wanna talk about weight excuses you should talk to GGG...i will fight anybody from 154 - 168
I will fight mayweather at 154 but not canelo
I will fight chavez jr at 168 but not ward..should i go on....dude you're a clown

I don't know how Brook can survive past 5, he's not fast on his feet, his hand speed is nothing but average. He certainly can't hurt GGG because golovkins walked through big punchers at 160. People are saying Brook is better boxer but he really isn't, golovkins amateur record is unreal and he won a silver in the Olympics. Kell could take a real bad beating for 5-6 rounds where he might not ever be the same and then get brutally knocked out.

I have to agree with this but he does have the slimmest of hope where Khan and his jaw would have none.

while i agree that brook will get mopped up in there but just because ggg has taken punches from bigger punchers it doesnt mean anything. i still think brook has the better skill set than a lot of the guys that triple g has fought. if brook can land a punch at the right place while ggg is not expecting it, trust me, it will do damage. by no means am i saying brook is gonna ko ggg but anything is possible when you land the right punch at the right time. triple g might be overlooking brook and could walk into a punch he doesnt see. wishful thinking but hey it could happen lol.

Reported that Canelo was 174 for Angulo.
