    Lil G is a derogatory name and you know it. Don't worry I'll stay clear of your GGG hate thread.

      Brook doesn't blow up to 160+ .... On fight night he always looks chiselled and not much different from his weigh in. Guys that blow up overnight look like completely different people from their weigh in.

      Brook is a big welter but as someone else pointed out, the guys at 154 are bigger than him and they aren't at 160 yet either. Terrible mismatch no matter how you try to spin it.

          He weighs in 156/157 on fight night only after he became a champion. He used to come in 165 ish on fight night.

          He walks around at reportedly 180+.

          He is DEFINITELY a big WW. He needs 12-16 weeks of excruciating dieting to get to 147. He comes in with 2-3% body weight.

          Saying he's not a big WW is a ridiculous and ****** thing to say.

            LOL this is for the IBF, the 156 are from the morning and he rehydates much more after that. GGGs unofficial weight is from HBO on fight night, within an hour of the actual fight.

            You haters crack me up.

                Brook said on his Twitter today that " I am a huge WW and the weight won't be much different from each other"

                So I'll take his word. Still doesn't make it a good fight but it's better than GGG vs some 4th ranked nobody at middleweight...

                  He's a big WW. By his own admission and his teams'.

                  160 is obviously a big ask of him. But he is a big WW.

                    That, however, does not mean he should be fighting at MW. Guys like Charlo and Canelo are much bigger and they aren't even at MW.
                    ... they aren't there for a good reason...

                      Any proof of this? Even if he did it doesn't matter he weighs less than 157 for his fights now, which isn't a big WW.
