The only thing they have on Brook is being naturally bigger. And the "middleweight" Brook would beat the shit out of three and school the other two.

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.
