    is it true that brook has been struggling to make weight for years?

    someone told me has basically had to kill himself to make 147 each time out, starting a few years ago.

    it this true? if so i think he'll be more natural at 160 and he'll give GGG a good fight.

    Look at the whole saga with the Carson Jones rematch and the catchweight.

      He weighs below 160 on fight night, he was 156 for Porter. When he says he struggles he means losing the fat he gains between fights from pigging out, in an 8 weeks training camp. Not that his body is struggling to drop to 147.

        Yes it's true.

        This isn't just coming out because of the GGG fight. He's fought above the 147 limit about 15 times in his career.

            He's had no problem making the weigh as long as Khan was a welterweight. Carson Jones was 3 years ago and he's made weight every fight since, that's 6 fights.

                Johnny Nelson who's close to the camp has said in the past that Brook has to work very hard to fight at WW.
