Comments Thread For: 30 Day Weights: Gennady Golovkin 165, Kell Brook 176!

[Joe Beamish]

I'll keep saying it. Weight will not be that big of a factor. Yes, Golovkin is bigger and yes Brook is a HUGE WW (should be fighting at 154). The biggest factor is that Brook has never fought at 160 before. He's never been hit by a MW, he's never been under pressure for 12 rounds from a MW, etc.

Isn't there a first time for every fighter that moves up? Where he's never previously faced an opponent who weighed as much?

I don't get it. He's an undefeated, large WW moving up. He's skipping 154, but that class didn't even exist back in the day.

Is he going to die in the ring against Golovkin? Pretty much. But let him take his chance. Nobody at MW was going to fight Golovkin in September.

Let 'em fight. Jeez.

Will be so funny if Kell misses weight on purpose. I wonder if GGG would still fight him if he came in 5lbs. overweight?

Probably but can't see it happening - there will be a large chunk of Brook's $4M that will pass to Golovkin in that scenario.

He is fighting a smaller guy , show me GGG at 147 and I will show you somebody that Brook would be guaranteed to KO .

I dont give a toss if Brook was 200lbs because we all KNOW he can OFFICIALLY make 147 and GGG cant .

How do you know? He makes 160 with flying ease.

Guaranteed he could make 147. Absolutely possible.

Brook naturally big at ww he was on a calorie controlled duet obviously.

Hatton should have fought sergio martinez

Doubt GGG would give a ****. But Brook wouldn't be able to fight for the belts which would suck.

So of course he's coming in on weight.

I've seen these ******ed posts.

Does Brook look like Hatton to you?

Some people are missing the point (and i am a GGG fan) , brook might come at a good size at 160 but :
* He never fought with this amount of muscle/weight on him.
* He never fought MW and their power (he will be surprised by the power).
* He never fought at an equal size kind of fight , he is used to bully and leverage his size , this will in turn make him fight a completely different fight which he NEVER did , that alone put him at a big disadvantage regardless of weight he comes in the ring on.

You are being too pessimistuc and doom sand gloom. Sure brook never fought any 160 guys befoire. But if you can do it, you can do it regardless.
You are assuming brook won't do anything and won't be able to diodio anything at 160 whereas the reality is brook will likely have a successful campaign their if he chooses to stay there.

All the things you are saying could theoretically apply to everyone whoi ever stepped up from ww to middleweight but you would be wrong as its done often. More often than u care to admit
