    Kell revealed yesterday that he can no longer make 147, and he's been tight at the IBF rehydration limit of 157 at noon on fight day since he won his title.
    i dont care how you slice it or dice it.....he is a welterweight titlist with 1 win over a top ten opponent..he is not a middleweight

    has done nothing at 154

    nothing at 160

    I dont want to see this man get hurt.

    then GGG isnt doing a catchweight


    when this man is in a coma and hurt because GGG cant fight anyone closer to his size, its on him and his team

    im sick of these mismatches in boxing

      size is not about height and reach

      its about bone density, muscle density, girth, and mass

      example.....Tyson was 5'11" with like a 72" reach ..the height and reach of a middleweight...so are he and GGG the same size??? imagine if cruiserweights were jumping up to fight tyson...murked


      they are similar in height, not size.

      GGG is the bigger guy and will be by at least 13 pounds fight night unless brook bulks up or just comes in soft
      No way! Trust me, Brook will be his usual ripped and muscular self and close to the same weight as GGG for this fight.

        either you dont want to get, or just dont get it


        you'll see the difference when their in the ring


        height and reach has nothing to do with mass or girth

        Dwight muhammad qawi was my height with a slightly longer reach...he fought at 175.....i walk around at 150-160 and he is noticeably bigger

        thicker neck, wider back, thicker calves

        i hope brook doesnt get hurt

          Brook didn't want a catchweight and he is in no more danger of ending up in a coma than any of GGG's other opponents.

          I don't think he can beat Golovkin, but I'm not as worried about Kell taking a bad beating as I was when I heard about Eubank Jnr supposedly going up against GGG.

          Brook is an experienced, seasoned pro. And, more importantly he will have a game plan and a seasoned and experienced corner team, rather than no game plan and a crazy mofo like Eubank Snr running the show!

            I don't remember Lyle Fitzsimmons calling it 80s greatness when Marquez challenged Floyd, do any of you?

              I'm not talking about just height and reach, I'm talking about size, weight, mass, whatever you want to call it. Brook is massive for a WW and without having to drain himself and strip every ounce of fat off his body to make 147, he will be nearly the same size as Golovkin for the fight.

                  I can see there's no point trying to get through to you. Even if Brook comes in ripped and heavier than GGG, which is by no means impossible, you will still be saying that he is a midget and Golovkin is a giant.

                    I guess he's only willing to play Minister of Propaganda for GGG. I will be rooting for brook, but it will likely take him fighting a perfect fight in order to not get badly hurt.
