the same bs as canelo, but then again boxing is business first, sports a distant second, fans get shafted and keep on paying, we never learn.

Golovkin will look big next to Brook. The bigger problem is how Brook plans to handle the size disparity. He can stay on the smaller end, hoping for a speed advantage. Problem with that, is Brook really isnt that fast himself. He can try to bulk up, but that will make him look even more stiff and robotic than he already does. Not many easy options for Brook. I get why he took this fight, but there seems to be next to no path to victory for him.Last edited by Kagami Taiga; 07-11-2016, 06:09 PM.

Anyone know Brook's actual fight night weight?

I find it hard to believe that Brook weighs the same, on fight night, as a lot of junior welterweights.. no way. Broner/Molina rehydrated to 154-157+, as did Peterson (165), Garcia 157.
Golovkin consistently weighs an estimate of 170lb during fight night, with your post conveniently quoting his highest ever weight. Golovkin has weighed 165lb 30 days before a fight (WBC 30-day weigh in), and has done so on multiple occasions.
Whilst Brook is definitely a smaller fighter (Golovkin deserves criticism for the fight), 17lb is extremely selective and misleading. Do you have a link to your thread where you made a post criticising Canelo/Khan? I'd like to see the similar outrage
