What Middleweights COULD Brook Beat?

[Taansend]

Who do you think he could beat? I've put some Middles & Lightmiddles in there.

Click on as many options as you want.

You can even change your mind (up until the week of the fight)

[Boxerbeetle]

I went for Cotto, Eubank Jr, BJS, Lee, Quillan, Ryder & Smith.

I'd make Brook relatively strong favourite against Lee, Ryder & Smith, and would have the rest as roughly 50-50.

[bigjack]

I'd have to see what he looked like at middle first,i see he fought at that weight years ago,has anyone on here seen him at middle and if so did he look strong ?

[TheGman]

Only jack ryder imo

Optimistic I think.

[gilgamesh]

Doesn't really matter because he's facing the one he most definitely can't beat.

[Nightmare Roy]

He'd have a chance against all the names on that list apart from the one he is fighting next.

Why? None of them are particularly good apart from Cotto, but he's years past his best.

They're all still pretty decent but most importantly they're actually middleweights. Brook is a very good welterweight but he's not proven above that weight class so whether he'd be that good against other good fighters who are naturally bigger men remains to be seen.

[lefty]

One fighter I do think would light Brook up and actually provide GGG with an interesting test is Andrade. He's the best fighter outside of golovkin between 154 and 160 for me.

[crusader]

I'd back him against Smith and Ryder

He'd probably be bigger than Cotto and I think he'd have a good chance there as well. Against the top natural MW guys it's tougher for me to say.

[Counter-puncher]

i think Brook would do pretty well against BJS, FWIW

[Switch hitter]

To be fair ....on a good night maybe all of them apart from GGG it's not exactly a terrifying list....

It is if you're a welterweight.

Doesn't really matter because he's facing the one he most definitely can't beat.

Anyone can beat any given opponent on any given day. He probably won't win but that doesn't mean it's an impossible task.

True. I only gave him a 5% chance of winning when the fight was announced. In the four days since that has risen to 8%
