Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: I Was Shocked a Small Welter Was Hurting Golovkin!

[ddeg10]

BoxingScene Live Scorecards: Khan won Rds 1, 2, 3, and 4, lost 5, stopped in sixth. Brook won Rds 2 & 3, stopped (corner throws in towel because Brook has a broken face) in 5th. Somehow Brook did better than Khan?

It was a completely different fight and honestly I don't think it's a fair comparison. I think people think that Brook did better because he didn't get his ass knocked out cold with one punch. Brook genuinely looked good at times when he was trading with GGG. I think he will do very well at 154. They both did well, considering the situations they were in. Khan's chin is just way too suspect to be taken seriously against anyone with any power. He might be able to fight a Malignaggi and win, but anyone with a punch KO's him and he should get out of boxing before he's permanently hurt. The difference with Khan and Brook is that Brook can possibly be an elite fighter at the right weight and the fight with GGG demonstrated that IMO.

Actually it was 2 rounds each for Brook and GGG on 2 cards, and one card had it 3 to 1 Brook. But no matter. Like I said, Khan didn't make Canelo doubt himself like Brook made GGG doubt himself. There are levels to this. Canelo has been proven to be less effective vs fast slick boxers. And Brook proved the same vs GGG. Who would've lasted as long, Khan or Brook? Who damaged GGG a bit?

My argument is that if we're going to praise Brook for 2 rds., then we have to praise Khan for 4 rds.! Neither deserve much praise as far as I am concerned. Their opponents did exactly what they came to do...get a KO!

Whatever you say friend. May wanna get back on your anger management course though. That doesn't travel well as you age.
