If Brook beats Golovkin - On par with SRL vs Hagler / Turpin vs SRR?

[John Locke]

Seems like the common consensus is:

"GGG will **** Brook. However, should Brook win, GGG isn't that good".

Typical.

Yep. It's embarrassing.

People don't like the fight (and rightly so) because Golovkin is such a big favourite, but if Brook wins Golovkin was no good. It's unfair to Brook.

Yeah Brooks not going to get any credit. People are just going to say ggg was way overhyped. Only way I see him getting credit is if ggg goes on and beat canelo and unify the smw then they'll probably look at ggg differently and that be a great win for brooks. Even then I can see they say ggg is no good and canelo sucks and smw is super trash and so on.

If GGG had fought better opposition than yeah. Not saying it's his fault he hasn't but he hasn't, bottom line. Hard to gauge how good he is really.

If we don't know how good GGG Is we can't really say brook fight is a mismatch then. We can't say its a bad fight. Ruiz didn't get slated for fighting rjjj did he? Hagler didn't get slated for fighting either Duran or srl or hearns.
At the time Floyd didn't get slated for fighting jmm, people thought it would be intriguing
So GGG gets credit for fighting an unbeaten guy a step up in class, even if by a little bit

I disagree we already knew how good RJJ, Hagler, Hearns, SRl, Floyd, JMM where when they fought all where P4p future hall a famers brook has not shown any sign of that he is p4p or that he a future hall a famer and GGG has show that he a P4p fighter and a glimpse that he a future hall a famer.

to answer the OP question to me this would be like Tyson vs Douglas where its a great win but GGG should rebound and brook will be know as the guy who upset the big bad monster

GGG is a pfp top 5 and brook is un derated.
If brook wins it will be massive achievement.
People do know how good GGG is. Nelo, Jacobs, bjs ducking him so must be onto something they know something everyone knows. They should get poenalised for not fighting GGG. GGG shouldn't be penalised for their actions or inactions

[The Big Dunn]

You can't keep talking resume. Gggs resume is not what it could be becasuse people are scasred to fight him.
Nobody ducked curry.
People are backtracking already saying GGG is overated before the fight starts , like thery don't want brook to get more credit than their idols.
So if GGG is overrated stop trying to make out as if GGG is the biggest cherry picker of all time fighting brook and that fight is a mismatch!

that is part of it. The other part is because when he doesn't get the fights he wants he takes on poor competition.

You don't know if anyone ducked Curry or not. whether they did is irrelevant. GGG's resume is what it is.

You have no credibility anyway so it doesn't matter.

agree with the bold

Exactly WHO has Bumlovkin beaten to be compared with the likes of Hagler and Robinson?

If Brook beats the Triple Duck then the only thing which gets proven is that Bumlovkin was nothing but a FRAUD to begin with...

Stop comparing ggg to hagler or Srr.
Ggg is pfp top 5, brook stepping up 2 weights and isn't pfp top 10 so is bigger* upset than Sri v hagler. Brook upsetting ggg don't make ggg a fraud. He's a somebody already, he became a somebody when ducked that's his compensation. Ggg don't get penalised for being ducked you see

Sanchez: GGG not doing media to give Brook his moment

This is so ******. There's something wrong with GGG.
