Interesting.

I always thought there wasn't much of a size difference between them.

Ironically, while GGG has little weight to lose (so he will go down steadily and retain strength and stamina), it may be Brooke who has to crash weight. That's never good as he will lose it too fast, so muscle as well as fat will be burnt off.

Kell has a history of fucking his training and weight up. So far he has got away with it - just, in the case of Carson Jones - but he's not facing a Jones now!

Brook always blows up in between fights doesn't he.

That is interesting, you'd have to think Brook is close to the condition he needs to be in, and couldn't have been nearly this heavy 30 days before a welterweight fight? If he'd ever fought at middle before it would be nothing, GGGs is very light if anything, but if there's any concern about how to come in the strongest he can without struggling to make weight etc, it's trouble he doesn't need.

[SlimTrae]

Upset anyone?

[powerpuncher]

It's more interesting that GGG is such a small MW. That's why he doesn't want to move up weight. And to think that Canelo is scared of the smaller man.

Upset anyone?

I don't think this will lend anything to the chances. If Brook has ever walked around his heavy in any kind of shape and still managed to make welter, he would have been even stronger than he's ever looked, or else insane to fight in the division all along. If he's trying something new to come in as big as he can, then it's just as likely to offset what his advantages would've been, the way I see it.

Golovkin is clearly a middleweight for life. He won't be filling out much more at this age. I can only see him moving up for sport, but there isn't much to be moving up for. Canelo would be the heavier fighter going on these weights.

Lets be honest here , no need to fling any mud , no need to bad mouth either of these guys , no need to talk conspiracy theories. The simple fact is this is a fantastic matchup between two unbeaten , wonderful fighters who are good guys also.
Lets just wait till fight night and enjoy this very interesting matchup.

[Memphis]

Brook making use of every pound of the ten percent he's allowed to be over. He's bang on the money, or massively fluked it.

I wasnt surprised that he's heavier than Golovkin. I didnt think it would be by as much though.

[Fenster]

How can Brook look in such good shape yet be so heavy? How did he ever make welter? Certainly wont be going back there

[Master]

It also shows that Golovkin has some serious power to take on real (supermiddle and light heavies) middleweights with ease. no way triple G will be moving up soon.

Ginger vagina is waiting for Golovkin to go old.

Golovkin is getting it wrong, worried about the speed hes coming down too quickly

I don't think so, I think that's GGG's natural weight. Like I've said before, he's quite a small MW.
If anything, Brook has put on too much too quick, although in the pictures , he does look in good shape. Now he's left himself having to lose over a stone in under a month. Although that's do-able, you don't want to spend your last month of training worrying about dropping weight.
2 things this does show to me:
1. how the fuck did Brook manage to take 2 stone off that physique in the pictures and be strong at WW for all this time?
2. It is clear that GGG keeps himself in better shape and closer to his weight inbetween fights.
we won't know how much that all means until the night of the fight.
