    great comments there, moving upto 147 is a different kettle of fish, when you are weighing in 24 hours before the fight and putting a stone on before the fight. khan cant take a lightweights punches, proven against prescott, gomez, limond who all dropped him. he got lucky against maidana because alex ariza has built him up good.
    It's really not that simple. Many people would argue that Khan was weight drained at 135 and had no strength in his legs. His punch resistance has visibly increased at 140, so its not far-fetched to think he will be even tougher at 147. Your last point doesn't make any sense either, you can't be lucky because you're physically fit..

      I agree with tht not having 2 take of tht last 5 pounds makes a difference, also ariza makes those 5 pounds count (more muscle in his legs).

        Brook has everything required to mix it with the big boys.

        I don't expect his next fight to be for a title though. Not if it's gonna be on Froch/Ward undercard.

          Berto has done what exactly? Brook beats him comfortably.
