The same logic as "Kell Brook is a massive welter" is the same logic that can be applied to GGG. If Kell Brook should really be a MW, what's he doing at 147? If GGG's such a tiny little guy, why didn't he clear out the smaller weights before hitting 160? The answer is he couldn't. He'd have drained himself for the payday against Floyd, in the same way Kell is going to seriously handicap himself here. GGG's not a massive MW, like Kelly Pavlik or Chavez Jnr. But bollocks is he a small MW. If he was that small he wouldn't have been a career MW and would have met Canelo at his catchweight with ease. He's a natural MW and takes his training seriously, so he doesn't have to drain and he doesn't carry unnecessary bulk. He's more of a sinewy guy. People talk about Martinez, but Martinez genuinely WAS a small MW: he turned over at welter, I believe? And was really a LMW who fought at MW to get the big fights. I'm just not comfortable when people say the same thing about GGG.Finn wrote:Apparently GGG is a small middle weight as well?
I'll be very interested to see them next to each other in the press conferences and stuff.
