    Take it how you want. GGG didn't look his usual smiley, happy self. He looked like someone with a virus.

    Hopefully he'll recover fully by tonight.

      Biggest upset must be Tyson v buster Douglas, but they were same size guys. So its hard to say
      SRL the welterweight coming off a 5 year lay off only with a gimme fight 3 years prior in which he was dropped for the first time, whilst coming up against the long time middleweight champion who was knocking everybody out.

      It was a huge upset.

        GGG is top 5 PFP even if nelo wasn't born and never existed. So if brook beats GGG it is a massive achievement beating top 5pfp. It doesn't make GGG overrated as GGG hasn't fought anyone like you claim. You must assume GGG has already beat nelo.

        I'm just saying nelo said he's not ready for GGG and is duckingg him. At no point t has GGG said he's not ready for lara.

          I agree. Doesn't mean he's sick. That's speculation.

GGG can't be penalised for opponents not being ready, but in actusal fact must be compensated. Which GGG is with top 5 PFP ratuing.
            Brook will be better than people thought.
            Someone must gain something from this fight.
            I just love how ****** Golovkin fans are.

              It's not Leonard vs Hagler esque because GGG isn't Hagler. But it would be damn impressive. GGG is a puncher at the larger weight, and a well schooled boxer with good amateur experience. It's asking a LOT of Brook to even make it last 12.

                A win by Brook today over GGG would be one of the greatest upsets in boxing history.

                    GGG isn't even close in comparison to Hagler, Leonard, or Sugar Ray Robinson. He has beaten bums. The only hardcore fans he has are trolls. Brook has a chance at beating him and it will be a good win for Brook but nothing on the level of the other fights mentioned.

                      GGG don't need to get in the ring to porove he's better than nelo. Nelo admitted he can't beat GGG yet. All this talk from nelo that ggg hasn't fought anyone and beat anyone is just nelo trying to flatter himsekf and blow his own trumpoet. Nelo has not proven he can beat those guys. And nobody thinks nelo could do it as clinically as GGG anyway. So he's proven in many ways that's clear. Get over the fact that experts believe GGG would beat nelo if they were the same size from seeing gggs body of work. Get over the fact that nobody thinks nelo would handle gggs opponents like GGG did. Get over the fact all experts are in agreement GGG would destroy everyone on nelos resume, apart from cotton maybe, I love cotto

                      So at least you sound like GGG should get credit for besting brook
