    Yeah, but we both know sparring is not anything like the real fight. I do agree with you that Brook is better prepared for this than Khan, but GGG is a totally different animal than any sparring partner (plus he won't be wearing 18 oz's and headgear)

      HBO's guess of GGGs weight is a pure guess.

      You are disregarding IBF rules and how it impacts both fights, and for the last time, saying fact doesn't make it fact it makes you look like a freaking kid who doesn't have a clue about boxing.
      The next morning weigh in was for IBF. That is showtimes weight on the night the clue is the box that says TONIGHT.

      HBO guesses weights now? WTF

        TS are you trying to justify GGG picking on a smaller guy?

        Lets just ignore the fact Brook has been fighting at 147 and lets just say he is a 154 fighter....he is still a weight class below GGG.

        You can cut it whichever way you want, GGG is bigger than Brook

        This is not a fair fight

            and Brook can still make 147, but the problem is he lets himself go in between fights, so it becomes harder to make the weight

            Khan can still make 140, but he fights once a year and like Brook lets himself go in between fights

            The fighters who fight consistently and keep in shape between fights wouldn't have weight issues

              Yeah definitely. I'm not picking Brook at all.

              But the Khan comparison is not really adequate. Khan is a majority career lightweight.

              Brook has been at 147 since he was 17.

                I agree. And Brook has the naturally bigger frame

                  It's next morning weigh ins, I don't care what they say. IBF have a next morning weigh-in for max 157 and that's the one Showtime are showing. This really exposes what you know, I would consider just keeping quiet.

                  Yes they do. Why do you think they call it "unofficial weight"? Why do you think Canelo says he's never been weighed in after weigh-in?

                  Do you think HBO goes to the fighter and asks him to step on the scales just before he enters the ring? Jesus you are one deluded man.

                    This fight is not unfair because of weight.

                    They are more or less the same size. Smaller people than Brook have beaten bigger people than GGG on plenty of occassions.

                    It's the fact that GGG whilst being bigger is also BETTER.

                      Where's the evidence they showed the IBF weight, what about the weights they show when fighters aren't fighting for the IBF? The fighters step on the scale you moron.

                      It's called unofficial weight because the official weight is what they weighed in at the OFFICIAL WEIGH IN the day before.

                      This is embarrassing.
