Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin: Kell Brook is 147? No Way - He is My Size!

[New England]

golovkin's publicity people should really try and keep him away from media attention in america until after this fight is over. they're not building the fight here. they're just doing damage. it's not even in primetime, or an HBO broadcast. they're playing second fiddle because it was an expensive fight and not competitive enough for premium american TV.

you're not going to convince me that a career welterweight is the same size as the hardest punching and most durable middleweight on the planet. sorry tom, gennady, and abel. it is not happening.

No matter how people try and spin it Golovkin is the bigger guy. When Brook is heavy he is clearly out of shape, did any of you see his punditry with sky for the Thurman-Porter fight? he looked like a puffer fish!

Also Golovkin isn't a small middleweight, he's a perfectly normal sized middleweight.

Normal sized middleweight > big welterweight.

I'm actually looking forward to this fight mainly for the event and it being in the UK though.

Thurman is actually known for being a small WW, Porter is average, but Spence is in fact huge for a WW. He's fought several times over 147 (just like Brook), and has rehydrated into 160s. Example.

Porter is 5'6", Thurman is 5'7", Brook is 5'9", and Golovkin is 5'10"

Height isn't what determines 'size' at the weight.

Canelo is small in terms of height, but he's a big 154lb fighter.

Shawn Porter is small in height, but he's a bigger WW than Brook. Porter started his career at 165lbs, fought several times at MW, fought several times at jr MW and finally at 147.

The biggest coward in boxing history.

Lol, whatever you say Hypejobkin. Whatever you say. You're blind fans eat it all up.

Making up things are we?

It was showtimes fight night weight which is why Porter was shown as 158, which is over the same day limit. CLOWN.

Post a link to those weights.

No, he WON'T even go to 155.

Nor should he.
