I want him to win or at the very least give a good account of himself. He won't win though. I can't even give him half a chance!

It’s normally the slick boxer that can’t crack an egg that gets written off in these scenarios. By various accounts Brook can not only box a bit but also whack.
I also think he will take his power up with him, however, as good as he is, I can’t say that he is better than the Russian.
I will go with experience in this fight, Golovkin. I’m gonna take a look at Brook’s momentum too...I think since his last stabbing he’s had 3 fights in over a year, one of which was a total mismatch....will have to check...

.....yes, I was absolutely spot on. Except make it two blowouts, not 1. I forgot about Jo Jo Dan.
When he gets in the ring next month, in the 18 months going back to March 2015 Brook will have fought Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Somebody Bizier. I doubt he was punched hard in any of them. Let’s hope his sparring is good.

think he can survive 6-8 rounds, not more than that. Khazakstani prevails.

Cut to ribbons and badly knocked out is how I see it going. Hope he does something amazing but can't see how he does.

In my opinion, this would be the best win by a Brit fighter ever if Brook can pull it off.

Brook needs to hit and run run run, hit and run run run all night, he ain't beating GGG head on.

I think you may be right, it's not like Brook is that quick on his feet.

Triple G always takes his time in the first round though. Starts off pretty cautious.

Brook should be under very heavy artillery from round 2 on. I'll consider it a great achievement if he gets past the 6th.

Imo brook is the best 147 in the world just wish Hearn would let him prove it. What a terrible job he's done with him. With that being said Brook is getting smashed by GGG. Eubank would have been a better fight for GGG.

Going by so many opinions of his impending doom, you could be right. And this about an unbeaten fighter too...

Agree I would put this over frampton vs cruz, fury vs klit and hatton vs kosta. Just don't see anyway he can do it.

Above Turpin v Robinson? And Curry v Honeyghan? ..... Robinson is regarded by many as the best P4P fighter ever and he didn't lose a fight for over 8 years when Turpin beat him. Also Curry was seen as the best P4P fighter in the world at the time when Honeyghan beat him.

However, I agree it will be regarded as the best win by a Brit in recent history if Brook somehow pulls it off, partly because of the size disadvantage against a top 3 P4P fighter.

No. No boxer has no chance to win but whatever the smallest chance you can have is, that's the chance he's got.

Like some others have said I can see it going very early. Brook has got good footwork but Porter was still able to back him up regularly. Kell was strong enough to tie someone like Porter up but he won't be able to do that against GGG. Golovkin's ability to keep his preferred punching distance even when moving forward is very impressive. So many aggressive fighters rush in and get tied up but GGG has mastered keeping just enough distance to get his shots off, he also seems to be very good at slipping out of clinches quickly - think it was the Wade fight when Wade tried to hold him a few times and Golovkin just slipped away with ease.

I think Ward's style is the way to beat Golovkin, be out of range and then get inside quickly, push him back, do your work quickly and then get out again. Brook doesn't have the style, inside ability or physical strength to do that in my opinion.
