Has Brook been doing a Canelo? Has he in reality belonged to a higher weight class all along, while draining himself to get a size advantage?
Has Brook been doing a Canelo?

I wish we could've seen him against some of the elite wws like Thurman, Bradley, Garcia, Spence etc before moving up. I still believe that moving up to mw against Ggg is a very drastic and potentially harmful career decision. But brook knows his body better than anyone else and he was massive at ww.
Speaking of Canelo I wouldn't mind a fight between him and brook tbh -
He makes the ***ing weight and Canelo makes the ***ing weight. They are both obeying the rules so quit your b*tching. When Brook fought Porter he weighed 156 on fight night and that was slightly less than Porter weighed on fight night. A gain of 9 pounds from weigh in to fight isn't unusual so where is the size advantage you think Brook might have? When Canelo fought Trout I think he weighed 171 on fight night and Trout weighed 172 on fight night. Canelo gained about 17 pounds and that's a large gain but not unheard of. Canelo still weighed less than Trout so where was his weigh advantage? Why don't you start more positive threads instead of trashing good fighters with stuff like this?Comment

They make the weight, but they're obviously doing it to get cheap advantages. There's a lot you don't seem to understand. Why is Canelo so focused on guys like Cotto, Khan and Smith from the lower weights?He makes the ***ing weight and Canelo makes the ***ing weight.

He might have also been starving himself at all times to stay down at that weight, much like hopkins did for years to stay at 160. Then he filled into a natural 175 like it was where he should have been all along.He makes the ***ing weight and Canelo makes the ***ing weight. They are both obeying the rules so quit your b*tching.

From the way Brooks body looked in the 170's, I have a feeling that this is the first fight he has been able to eat, and his body is growing to the size that it naturally wants to be.Comment

A man with reason can only agree to that.He might have also been starving himself at all times to stay down at that weight, much like hopkins did for years to stay at 160. Then he filled into a natural 175 like it was where he should have been all along.
