How can GGG v brook be a mismatch?

[Madison Boxing]

GGG has been called one dimensional, a hypejob, a one division coward, overrated, crude etc. Yet people on here say GGG v brook its a mismatch and give a 36-0 fighter absolutely no chance of beating him? So if hes such a limited fighter, how come people dont think theres any possibility that someone like kell brook might be able to outbox him?

Brook is a 6-1 underdog for a reason. He is also a WW who has never fought at 160 and has never beaten any WW worth discussing except Porter.

This isn't a case where the lineal and best ww, SRL, had claned out WW, was seen as the best in the world, and went up to fight Hagler,

This is a case of a top 5 WW going up to fight at 160 for big money knowing he will get KTFO, same as Khan going up to fight Canelo.

This way, instead of having to take a hard road back if he loses, he can drop back to 147 (i doubt he goes back) with his title belts or to 154 with the KO loss not really hurting him.

Dude stop making threads

I don't get what your doing. Are you trying to justify that it's a equal fight? Or are you trying make it seem that ggg isn't as good as advertise? It's not an equal fight because he's a 6/1 favorite btw.

JMM v Floyd was considered a good fight, because JMM tested Pac. People didnt rate Floyd as highly as GGG. Thats why GGG is expected to beat Brook in one minute, whereas many thought JMM could beat Floyd even though Floyd bloated him up 2 weight classes.

FLoyd was visibly bigger than JMM like a circus act. Brook is same size as GGG and its in Brooks hometown.

But GGG critics still whinge at this fight and at GGG, saying GGG takes no risks, as if fighting in England isnt a risk? So why didnt floyd do it in mexicao? GGGs critics arent fooling anyone that its not a good fight.

This! it's simple really.

The guy has a fucking double chin the day before the weigh-in.

I don't agree with this.

Personally, I knew JMM V Floyd was a clown fight the moment it was announced, considering all the fights Mayweather turned down for his come back. Many others who followed the sport at the time rather than a particular name, felt the same.

Up until that point, JMM had never fought above lightweight and tested Pac down at super feather.

Brook v GGG is entirely different but still a mismatch. However, I have always given props to Brook for A) taking the fight and B) getting into what looks to be good shape...hopefully weight isn't an issue tomorrow.

It is a mismatch but i think brook has a bigger chance than most think.

Good big man beats good/great little man; that's been the rule of thumb in combat sports for basically forever.

As good as Floyd Mayweather Jr is/was, everyone had the understanding that, even with his ability, fighting at middleweight was possibly but likely a touch too far, nevermind any even idea of fighting at 168.

Golovkin at 160lbs is, pretty much, exactly what Kell Brook was doing at 147lbs; through meticulous effort, an insane diet, and a ridiculous cut, Kell Brook can get as low as 147 (and still fight) and not much lower than that.

Kell Brook is good; he may even be "special"; the idea that he's going to walk into a fight, fleshy, against a "big punching MW" who's basically mastered boiling his body down to make 160/159, is a big ask.

Floyd Mayweather, by the end of his run, was a primed, fit 149/150lbs on fight night; as great as Floyd was, the idea of him simply giving up 20lbs on fight night is silly, let alone the risk of the likely 30lbs he'd be giving up in fighting a middleweight.
