How does that make it hearsay? It's from the horses mouth so anything but.

If you mean its unproven in the ring as Smash suggested then yeah I see your point. Brook and his team will know through the duration of a camp when he tops out in terms of speed and power. Also as Fenster mentioned, Brook at 147 against Jones and Brook at 152 against the same bloke was like chalk and cheese. What little evidence there is suggests that Brook north of 147 is a much stronger fighter.
