Comments Thread For: Kell Brook Explains Why He's So Heavy For The Golovkin Fight

[nacho daddy]

Your argument is ridiculous. Kell looks unhealthy in that first pic. No one should ever be that shredded naturally; that's a result of diuretics and extreme weight cutting measures. In the second pic he looks like a normal healthy human being. Of course he has a higher body fat percentage there. That doesn't make him fat though.

but it is mostly water and you are right about the ripped pic

If Kell Brook looks like that weighing 176lbs and he still has to shed that 16 lbs, he's going to look great on the weigh-in.

However, for me, whether you look out of shape or not isn't the only determination for how you will do at the higher weight, it's your overall skeleton frame. Smaller hands, smaller back, shorter reach/wing span. Those are some of the fixed statistics that can't be changed by going up in weight and is where the bigger guy has the noticeable advantage. Look at their shoulder to shoulder length and compare.

some guys have looked great, but their body simply wasn't accustomed to carrying that extra weight at optimum efficiency..... let alone for 12 rounds

walk-around weight is over-rated as fk..... especially on this site, I have never heard so much nonsense..... especially considering the fact that most people should be aware that boxing uses weight divisions, and should have at least a rough idea about what it takes to prepare for a fight


Brook's body is conditioned to prepare to fight a welterweight opponent at 147, not for 160, or even 154..... it would take him a couple of fights at least to properly adapt to 154, just like it did with a big guy like Ward at 175..... just like a big guy like Canelo to 160, just like a big guy like Kovalev to cruiser..... and just like everyone else.

It's about preparation/body type..... not walk-around weight LMAO

good post!

Do you think it's healthy for a boxer to have 3% body fat 22 days before a fight?

Dear me, take a seat son.

He's no where near 3% body fat lol

[Corelone]

More sauce than science involved here.

[Kigali]

Really like what he's doing here - don't care what anybody says about the fight. He is aiming for greatness and is the Canelo antithesis.

He's also the antithesis of Golovkin.

Moving up 2 divisions is something GGG would never dream of doing.

Don't just pick on Canelo...be consistent.

gtfo Brook kills himself to get to 147, he's a natural 154lber if anything, he's fought there before too....

In fact moving up to 160 from 147 ain't no thang but a chicken wang, SRL, Duran, Hearns did it and dared to be great, you're just making a meal of it because it suits your anti GGG agenda.

[WarMaidana]

Kell was always a damn big WW and this prooves, it. He should be fighting at 154 anyways

[The plunger man]

OK, I googled them as well.

Khan is also a welter, and Smith is a JMW.

Will Golovkin be fighting them next ?

Or, are the Bradley rumors true ?

Canelo has run to a lower division to avoid golovkin and he's fighting a guy who's unknown not just in the states but also in the uk ....talk about doing anything to avoid golovkin lol.....are you proud son
