Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas Wonders if Brook Had Injury PRIOR To Golovkin Bout

[bluepete]

Dam i understand people are GGG fans but y'all get pissed at everyone and everything someone says when y'all feel it even discredits him slightly. Man up, the guy is not perfect, I bet half of y'all don't even defend your family this damn much.

Teddy has a reasonable belief, but rather than even considering the possibility of what he is saying y'all start posting negativity about the guy. Funny thing is he isn't even criticizing GGG, just an opponent of his.

Dam it's crazy y'all don't realize the guy isn't PERFECT. Hell he's a good fighter, the best at 160, everyone knows this. Now it's time for GGG to know he isn't flawless.

Come on man,this isn't a reasonable thing to theorize,it's utterly ridiculous and insulting to think Brook would've entered the contest damaged like that.It doesn't fit the circumstances in any way ,no evidence at all to back it up and is so far fetched as to be ridiculous.It is like saying Brook only lost because of the eye and GGG didn't even do that to him,it's like a pathological inability to give any credit to certain fighters,to the extent of inventing crazy conspiracy theories to back it up.

Was this article even worth putting on BoxingScene??? I think NOT. What A Waste Of TIME!!! I would say that for a fighter to see four of his opposition and still connect some nice combinations, Kell did ok despite the circumstances,....in the end Kell still lost and the fight is now in the history books. Shall we move forward please?!?!?

I can understand you feeling that way but let's be serious, there are people still claiming Pacman entered his fight with May injured. If it's possible for one it's possible for both. Clearly GGG is better than Brook, injured or not, and would've knocked him out regardless. And to be clear, I don't believe Brook nor Pac came into their fights injured or less than 100%.

[Nightfall]

[daggum]

Atlas is such a jerk with the scrutiny put into these physicals prior to about this is almost virtually impossible to have been overlooked

I get what you're saying but how is it possible that his eye socket was already broken without any visible signs of such? I'm not a doctor but I'd have to imagine that a broken eye socket would at least be somewhat noticeable.

I think it's sad that nobody says the better man won anymore.Brooks interview afterwards was not just an understandable show of disappointment but this narcissistic inability to give an opponent credit that is almost always on display ,not just from fighters but also commentators and fans these days.I doubt any of these guys fight without some kind of injury ,but for these guys to say that someone would into the ring knowing they could go blind is such a massive length to go to so as not to give a guy credit.I guess we all have favourites but a professional pundit should at least try hiding his bias.

Wen Atlas doesnt like a fighter he will say anything to discredit him.
Thats why theres pre fight physicals
