    Just because you predicted it doesn't mean its correct if you know what I mean. Brook and Hearn wanted something to Top Khan Canelo to lure Khan in, which they have achieved the first part.

    I honestly think the plan was the Eubanks, however they are completely delusional. And Hearn and Brook saw there chance and nicked it.

    I dont there were any secret agreements, Hearn has stated of the problems they had with the Eubanks so has Warren. They both seemed to have washed their hands of them.

      Yeah I'm leaning toward the coincidental way of thinking. I honestly think it was the Eubanks that started this all off being there mental usual selves, and they just saw there chance and nicked it.

      It fell through for GGG and he prob just thought **** it why not.

As for brooks shape, people make it sound like hes the michelin man at middleweight , is he as ripped as he was at welter no, but hes still in really good shape.
        I said other trainers on youtube, the actual trainer I was specifically talking about when I mentioned that is Rich Farnan. . . He's knows a fair bit. more than any of us here I'd imagine. But I'm just asking for our arm chair critics theories to be thrown about.

            Yes it is true. Brook obviously has a good team behind him. The Ingle gym is pretty much well established. . . But the method for bulking up so fast (well maybe not soo fast, he's been big for a while) is still puzzling. As I said there must be a reason behind that they know about. All I'm asking is we speculate as to what that could be.

Sooo, does anyone have any ideas or theories as why what Brook's plan is with all this? Do you think he wants to be able to clinch with GGG? Which would be a mistake either way IMO, Or is he gonna shred that body buildingesque muscle to leave lean muscle on fight night? I dunnooo, What ya'll got?
              there are no theories.

              kell brook drains his body to 147lbs.

              its not a natural weight for his body type.

              160lbs is more of a natural division for brook.

              just look at their side by side photo comparison of GGG and brook during this promotion.

              they are basically the same size.

              this is a common theme in boxing due to 24 hr rehydration. fighters who are naturally too small for the division they are fighting in, trying to squeeze into the division to take advantage of 24 hr rehydration and fight smaller man.

              there is no theory.

              its science, cowardice, and ambition.

                They're not really thoughh. I still see GGG's frame as bigger, his wrists, his shoulders. just just entire structure in general is bigger. Kell's eaten up to be where he is right now. 9/10 meals a day (this is according to him on a documentary called behind the ropes) . . . I do agree he was big for welter and draining possibly. But he was still making the weight. GGG most likely can't so that would equal Kell being smaller. He's probably a good Jr MW.

                  do you have actual statistics to back that up instead of the all too common eye test???

                  cuz that's what my eye test tells me, they are both the same. haven seen their actual nfl combine stats, but im willing to bet they are not that far off.

                  basically the same size. im hoping you do the research cuz im lazy right now.

                      There are a couple interviews out there from Kell and his trainer where they talk about it. They work together with strength and conidtion specialists and also with an english university that is specialized on that kind of stuff, gaining weight naturally and stay at your optimal weight during different time intervals, turning into muscles and so on.

                      The vids are on IFL Youtube channel i think.
