    Dunno, but would tell us GGG would get robbed fighting in UK.

    GGG won the first round, Brook the second, the third and fourth going to GGG again IMO.

    Brook had some success in the third but that's where GGG started to fully control the fight and had Brook figured out.

      I got no clue why you keep bringing up Brook in relation to Floyd's chances vs GGG in this lil fantasy fight discussion we are having. Brook & Floyd have nearly nothing in common skills-wise & I'd argue Brook fought a horrible strategy vs GGG (despite some success, but early success which led to him seeing triple GGG's by 6 minutes in & being done before 15 minutes in) that wouldn't look anything like Floyd's strategy vs GGG. Size is just one element of this fight & I don't believe it'd be the determining factor.

      You guys underrating GGG after last night just because he looked vulnerable in one round.
      And this has more to do with Brook being good than GGG being bad.
      You got me confused with someone else or are just going off of your feelings about why my stance happens to be my stance. I'm usually the guy being accused of being a GGG fanboy & wish some of these 160lbers would man the f#ck up (even doe I think many of them would beat GGG & at worst have solid chances of beating him).

      GGG beat him like trash at the end of the day.
      This is silly to say. If you think GGG is beating him fair enough thats your opinion, but GGG isn't THAT good to treat Floyd like "trash".

      I'm telling you, you can't count GGG out with such power and skillset.

      I disagree with him being slow like turtle, those punches are quite sharp and well timed, he rocked Brook in the first round when they boxed.
      I rarely count anyone out 100%. I'm usually the champion of EVERYONE has a shot, but obviously I'm going to have opinions of whats more likely to happen like all of us typically do. That said who's discounting GGG's power? I've mentioned it as one of his biggest strength's vs Floyd or any smaller guy. But that said he's for sure not the quickest, unawkward guy in the world & I believe he fights with a low boxing IQ far too often like how he was just walking in with his hands down vs Brook. Okay Brook couldn't hurt him or didn't really hurt him enough might be the opinion GGG held, but its still a low boxing IQ strategy that would bit him in the ass vs the best guys in the world of which Brook is not one of in my eyes with his only previous notable win being over Shawn Porter who's mostly known as a more aggressive fighter who smothers his own punches.

      At the end of the day, he had a close first round, a tough second round, then destroyed Brook.
      I actually agree with this take more or less. But again I got no clue what Brook getting his face destroyed by GGG has to do with anything that would happen in our lil fantasy discussion of Floyd vs GGG as Brook's fight plan & Floyd's fight plan wouldn't look anything alike & if GGG was trying to walk down Floyd with his hands down like he was with Brook GGG woulda been down 0-5 after 5 instead of Floyd Sr waving a towel like Ingle was.

            No, no, I said he beat Brook like trash.

            People act like GGG came back from the canevas and edged Kell in a war.

            He figured him out in 2 round then destroyed him the 2 following round when he could dictate the pace.

            GGG read you like a computer.

            Brook looked ****** and bad right, but GGG made him look bad, cutting off the ring greatly.
            That's why Kell stayed on the ropes, not a choice.

            GGG would beat Floyd because of his footwork, GGG showed average defense yesterday but also great footwork; great timing, great accuracy, great power, solid chin as usual, and people are overlooking those points.

            GGG is not perfect, but Floyd himself isn't (tough closer to perfection than GGG), and ATG like prime Chavez, Sweet pea or Leonard would have exposed Floyd flaws.

            I think GGG would trap Floyd in the corner and rough him up, I think Floyd wouldn't pass the 5th round like Kell.
            Floyd doesn't have the legs to beat him.

            GGG is the definition of effective agression.

              Fair enough, my mistake on misquoting you.

              People act like GGG came back from the canevas and edged Kell in a war.
              I'm barely talking about the Brook fight with you so what people are acting like shouldn't mean anything here.

              GGG would beat Floyd because of his footwork, GGG showed average defense yesterday but also great footwork; great timing, great accuracy, great power, solid chin as usual, and people are overlooking those points.
              I did not see all this vs Brook. I thought this was a subpar GGG performance & certainly one of his worst performances in awhile.

              GGG is not perfect, but Floyd himself isn't (tough closer to perfection than GGG), and ATG like prime Chavez, Sweet pea or Leonard would have exposed Floyd flaws.
              Who's saying anyone is perfect?

              Floyd wouldn't pass the 5th round like Kell.
              Floyd doesn't have the legs to beat him.
              LOL thats just goofy to say. Again fair enough if you think GGG beats Floyd or anyone else really, but I don't see him getting a early stoppage vs Floyd. Hell if Brook hadn't fought such a strategically bad fight I think he gets past the 5th or f#ck man if his corner hadn't stopped the fight I think he makes it past the 5th...just probably not the 6th.

              GGG is the definition of effective agression.
              He's more effective than most aggressive guys I'd agree. Idk about the definition of, but you seem to be a man of extremes one way or the other like most boxing fans who live in the black or white & rarely consider the gray where most everyone actually resides at.

                  Saunders is a point fighter even more than Mayweather. There's no stoppage to be had. In fact, if that fight happens, I'll bet ANYONE Golovkin stops Saunders inside of 8 rounds.
