How is Brook suddenly NOT the best Welterweight?

[Golgo 13]

Before this GGG fight was announced most people agreed that Brook was the #1 Welterweight in boxing due to his schooling of #3 welterweight Porter (who Thurman arguably lost to). Multiple polls showed this. His only real threat was the emergence of Spence Jr who still has ways to go.

Then all of the sudden the GGG fight gets announced and people act like Brook is a mediocre Rod Salka level Welterweight? Some even say that he is the equivalent of glass-chinned Giraffe Queen Khan't? GTFO here with this B.S.

Brook was far superior to Thurman if we compare their performances against Porter, Brook gave an undefeated Porter a boxing lesson. Brook is a class above Thurman and I like Thurman.

Brook would also beat the sht out of Garcia. And common opponents have said he is better and hits harder than Canelo, which was why Giraffe Queen Khan't ducked him like the plague.

It's mainly the GGG haters and Giraffe Queen Khan't fans at work here, trying to discredit both Brook and GG at the same time. It's absolutely disgraceful and I will fight this till the end.

Sugar Ray Brook vs GGG = #1 Welter vs #1 Middleweight. The new Fight of the Century!

Agreed 100%

GTFO here with this B.S. From what we've seen Brook is a class above Thurman and would beat the sht out of Garcia. And common opponents have said he is better than Canelo, which was why Giraffe Queen Khan't ducked him like the plague.

... no they don't... actually many posters here are rooting for Brook pulling an upset...

Odds:

Hagler vs. Duran 4/1 Hagler
Hagler vs. Hearns 6/5 Hagler
Hagler vs. Leonard 3/1 Hagler

Hopkins vs. Trinidad: 2/1 Trinidad
Hopkins vs. De La Hoya: 2/1 Hopkins

Canelo vs. Khan: 5/1 Canelo

GGG vs. Brook: 9/1 GGG

I know Kell Brook is really good welterweight champ, but it doesn't change the fact that this fight is worse than Canelo-Khan.

Anyway, I respect Brook and will support him in GGG fight. He has big balls which GGG has never gotten.

The funny thing is the hate is on GGG for bringing a guy up 2 divisions, nobody has anything disparaging to say about Brook, they are actually giving him props for stepping up.

Apparently, thinking Brook is gonna lose to GGG= He is Rod Salka level and was never any good

[NaijaD]

In my opinion Brook is the best welterweight but even I can admit that is more opinion than fact, there isn't a true number 1 at welterweight..... That's why we wanted them to start having unification fights.

Brook beat Porter better than Thurman in my opinion but that isn't enough to say he's an undoubtedly the best, it shouldn't be as a fight between he and Thurman would be a definitive way to crown a worthy #1.

The comparisons between Brook and Hearns/Leonard need to stop, Those guys dominated and at times straight up destroyed the competition at 147 and 154 before moving to middleweight. Brook has one close but clear win over Porter, don't know what schooling you saw either. If Brook had been knocking out top 10'ers like Golovkin then yeah you would have an argument but any unbiased fan can see he has a long way to prove himself at 147, many remain unconvinced as evidenced by the fact that more than a few were picking Vargas to beat him. I thought they were joking but they just aren't convinced by Brook yet and I honestly can't blame them.

I'm honestly not sure if you are actually a Brook fan or one of these crazed GGG fans posing so as to fool people into thinking this is anything but a pitiful mismatch.

[CaneloMaidana]

This is about coward Golovkin cherry picking a welter.
