LOL at Brook:'I was in there with the big, most-feared middleweight there is but I showed I could stand with him'

[Ossyrules]

Kell brook cut more weight to fight at 160 than golovkin did. Canelo is a light heavy in the ring. He'll cut more weight than ggg too.

We've been here already before

I'm dealing with facts. Perhaps someday you'll get it.

The fact is that brook can make a lighter weight than ggg

Any weight out of boxing is secondary

Canelos not a light heavy

We can virtually add a division or 2 to everyone in history going by your logic

What matters is the weight the boxers fight at

Hopefully you'll get your head round this one day

[sharpei_louis]

Doesn't matter how ripped he looks is all I'm saying. Tony Bellew is a natural cruiser and struggled making LHW even though he still carried a higher amount of bodyfat than Brook at 175. It's not quite as black and white as all that. People's body shapes and sizes vary a lot. And Brook, ripped as he is at 175, in my opinion is still the naturally smaller guy than GGG.

I agree with Ozzyrules above.

Brooks an enormous welterweight, but he's still a welterweight. Golovkin is a middleweight. Regardless of what weight brook chose to come in fight night, he has gone up in weight to fight golovkin.

Brook didn't really move up in weight. He just stopped draining so much. It's like saying Canelo moved up 2 divisions to fight Chavez Jr. because they fought at 164.5 lbs. Canelo just stopped draining so much as he was coming into the ring close to 180 lbs. and stuff.

Brooks a welterweight whose had a fight at middle. Until he can no longer do welter, he's a welter.

Your arguement is crazy. Is canelo a light heavy as he's not draining as much? No he's clearly smaller than the light heavies out there

A lot of these dudes aren't really in their natural division. Brook is a huge drainer who was built absolutely solid at MW. He wasn't fat like Josesito Lopez when he fought at LMW against Canelo or Marquez when he moved up to fight Mayweather. That's how you can tell those are legit small-framed guys that moved up a division.

Canelo was built absolutely solid at 164.5 lbs. and Brook was solid at MW. They both just stopped draining so much. Yes, technically if you look at the numbers you can spin it that tthey moved up 2 divisions. In reality, if this was same day weigh-in, they both would be fighting at that division anyways.

Ggg is one of the few that wouldn't have to change divisions if they went back to same day weigh ins.

You have the part right about people's body varying. Brook, Canelo, and Crawford are able to drain down while GGG either can't or doesn't want to. Honestly, I really do think GGG can drain down, but I don't think he wants to. The guy gains weight during training camp. His 30-day weigh ins were like 160-165 lbs. then he comes into the ring at 170 lbs. or so.

Brook isn't naturally smaller than GGG. Do you think Brook can make WW or LMW if this were a same-day weigh in rules?

[sharpei_louis]

Not WW certainly, but LMW maybe? My issue is that I imagine that Brook could build himself up above 175lbs though quite easily and still look solid and ripped, but he's 5'8 or something and I just can't have that that would make him a natural cruiser. Whether it's muscle or fat they put on is pretty irrelevant really. Do you believe that Brook is the bigger man than GGG? I think he tried to put extra bulk on for that fight to start with in any event.

Conversely I also believe that same day weigh ins would make everything more interesting and that as long as people didn't endanger themselves by fighting immediately after a drain, that would be the fairest way of doing things. Yeah that may make Brook a natural MW, but I still think he's simply not naturally as big as GGG and that's nonwithstanding that GGG has spent a career in the ring with MWs.

And I don't get insulted just cause someone disagrees with me, it's all good

Probably, he wouldn't look good though. Gets a lot harder at that age. He's never been a drainer.

You think GGG could cut 13lbs? I think he'd look like a corpse!

Could he do 147 and actually compete.

Your question is stupid. You claim to have intimate knowledge of weight cutting yet you don't seem to grasp that his body may not respond to a weight cut he hasn't done for decades. No, I don't think he'd be the same at 47. After fighting at a more natural weight, I don't think Kell will either.
