Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Brook Draws HBO's Interest For May 2017, Says Hearn

[champion4ever]

Both Brook's hands and feet are faster than Canelo's. That is what make this fight so interesting. Would Canelo be able to catch and time the faster Kell Brook like he did the at times reckless and foolhardy Amir Khan? The answer is probably not. Kell just has to avoid the exchanges because Canelo typically lands single punches at a time.

Why the fook are Khan and Brook moving up to get KTFO against huge punchers instead of fighting eachother?? wouldnt that fight be huge in UK???

It's a 50/ 50 fight but I'd give the slight edge to Brook.

[OnePunch]

good fight. As long as the eye heals ok, Brook beats Canelo.......

[Doctor_Tenma]

Of the 3, IMO the only question mark would be Canelo. Brook can beat Cotto and Khan. And Canelo wouldn't be able to dent Brook's armor if GGG couldn't. Any of the 3 would be interesting, but Canelo would be the most intriguing.

I'd favor Cotto but this is actually the more interesting fight, I'd like to see Brook-Cotto. Now with that said, I hope Brook still has a boxing career.

Lol, If he takes this fight after recovering from his surgery he is tempting fate at having a very short career don't get me wrong he definitely has a big shot at beating Canelo but for all the people saying GGG was too big for Kell the same can be said about Canelo being too big for Brook.

Kell might have a chance of outboxing him but I worry about what happens when Canelo backs him up and combos off on him when Brook is up against the ropes he will need to try and mimic the gameplan that Lara did but I don't think Brook is anywhere near as good/tricky as Lara.
I can see that injury coming back to haunt him.

Lol ... what power? Canelo hit Cotto **** on and he didn't hurt him. Kell Brook isn't Khan or Kirkland. If he can take GGG's power without going down, he can take Canelo's too.

First Canelo Handed his belt to GGG now he wants his left overs. How could you respect this Cinnamon.

At the end of the Khan Fight he she said, I mean he said
Max: There is a guy ringside that comes to attack
Canelo " I Invited GGG to the Ring"
Max K. "You invited him to the ring, Why?"
Canelo" we don't **** around, we don't fight for rings, I don't fear any one, we don't come to complain
Max: Does that mean you will fight GGG later this year
Canelo: like I said in the last fight I will put on the gloves right now

What Happen Cinnamon! I'm still waiting guess Little Debbie had other plans.

Who has ever struggled to get within distance against Brook? It's one thing to not be able to take advantage like Porter but Shawn never struggled to get within distance. Golovkin didn't have to cut off the ring much, Brook was there and willing. Brook has decent foot speed at best and it's not something he really utilizes much.

Canelo might not hurt him right away, not like that's not in the realm of possibility but he'd break him down and eventually stop him. Brook can't fight on the inside and the same holding he used against Porter won't work.

Canelo has the slowest feet I've ever seen on a top-class boxer. It's a major flaw and weakness in his game. Lack of power relative to his stocky build is another. I seriously doubt that Oscar would put Canelo in with Brook. There's a reason why his opponents are being picked so carefully for him. Liam Smith could be a cherry pick that goes wrong.

In his second fight with Jones, which was at SWW, Brook handled him easily without even getting out of second gear.
