Again... maybe it's a language issue, as I understand certain expressions and colloquialisms over in Great Britain may differ somewhat from what is spoken over on this side of the pond. Be that as it may, I'll just sit back and let the quotes stand on their own. Some things don't need too much commentary.
If you'll excuse me, I'll just do a little basking now......

You forgot the second part of the sentence - only his performance against Golovkin in relation to Geale, Rubio, Wade, Monroe and Murray.
The reason you're getting confused is because you're chopping sentences up instead of absorbing them in their entirety as intended.
Let me try to make this even simpler to understand.
Brook challenged THE best middleweight in the world. Because he lost to THE best middleweight in the world it doesn't mean he's NOT able to beat other midlleweights. The reason he lost to Golovkin wasn't just because he is a naturally smaller man, Golovkin is a fantastically talented fighter in his own right.
Geale, Rubio, Wade, Monroe and Murray are not a bunch of murderers row killers. Once again - between the whole five of them, in this day and age, they've managed to win just ONE "world" title. They are not THE best midllweights out there.
I don't think Brook is the only welter that could have success against them either.

The past, present and future are utterly irrelevant, only what happened on the night. I don't care about "what ifs" only "what happened."
Repeat - I have only judged Brook's performance in relation to Geale, Rubio, Wade, Monroe and Murray (The 5 fighters @
Master chose).
The "official" scores are integral to the argument. To have success in a boxing match you need to land blows, to win rounds you need to be more impressive than your opponent in any particular three minutes.
So even if you claim "the punches didn't hurt," or "GGG let Brook punch him" they still REGISTERED far more successfully than Geale, Rubio, Wade, Monroe and Murray's did - hence Brook
WON ROUNDS.
No holes. No digging. It's called SOUND REASONING. Whether you think it or not (thankfully most forum members are not having problems understanding the point) it has more substance than
"Brook did better because Golovkin let him." "Brook didn't deserve the fight," "Brook only fought cos Eubank didn't," "Geale wasn't at his best," etc. All of which are moot points regarding this discussion.
Official scores are one thing but so are your eyes, experience watching the boxing game, context and background of the fight.
You admit the rounds he did well you did not think he won which tells you that the overall picture he was losing and always going to lose the fight. GGG knew that it was only a matter of time so if he had to take two shots to deliver his one he would do so.

I'm sorry, but the phrases
"And the "middleweight" Brook would beat the shit out of three and school the other two."
and
"In the entire discussion I've never once judged Brook as a middleweight"
stand by themselves, and are impervious to any claims of sentence chopping and any kind of absorption nonsense.
There's an old adage about always denying cheating even if you're caught in bed..... but it boils down to the same thing.
There's really no escape hatch on this one.

THEY DID NO BETTER THAN BROOK!!! To my eye, the judges eye, the dogs eye and everything on the planet's eye.
MY opinion on the actual fight is IRRELEVANT. I only scored Brook one round. I didn't see as competitive a fight as most. However, that has NOTHING to do with how YOUR middleweights did? They were even WORSE than Brook. Fact.

So to say Brook would beat them easily is ridiculous to the extreme. These are career middleweights who have worked their way up to the title shot and you think Brook can just turn up at the weight and beat them is nonsense.
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko is P4P #1
Ffs everybody calm down. Let's just agree to disagree eh?
Even with everything that's been said the most offensive thing in this thread is still Bellew being ranked pound for pound.

;D Never again you cunt, never again....
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko is P4P #1
Hows about if we look at it as though for a one off fight then Brook would put on a good show against all of those listed, as he did with GGG, and he may even beat some of the named fighters.
However if he was to campaign full time at middleweight then the size difference and power of the bigger fighters would soon tell on his body and he would end up being broken down and having his career shortened?
Hows that sound lads? meet in the middle or something??
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko is P4P #1
But before his career was shortened.... he'd go back to 147 for one last fight, and the opponent would be Khan, who would be claiming that Brook had moved to 160 to duck him. Then Brook would KO him in the 1st round and promptly retire.
The End
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko is P4P #1
If I was Khan I'd be ticked off about all the attention Brook is getting here about his jump to MW. ;D
Khan did exactly the same thing, only against Canelo... and got KTFO'ed.
But he might be saying, "Hey, how 'bout me??" "I could give some of them middles a fight for their money."
Only in boxing.... :rolleyes:
Brook and Khan should've fought each other eons ago, yet they both chose ill-advised jumps to MW to get their respective asses handed to them.
