Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Feels Brook Made a Mistake By Bulking Up For Golovkin

[Realizniguhnit]

It's not like Brook has bulked up though. He walks around very heavy. It didn't surprise me when i saw his 30 day weigh in. Look at him between fights when he does some work on Sky, he has a big double chin and everything.

There won't be a big size difference between the two men. The difference is Brook is used to fighting Welterweights smaller than him, and not very good ones at that... and i say that as a fan of Brook. That's where the difference will be felt by Brook i think.

Actually there is a big size difference between the two GGG clearly has a much larger skeletal frame than Brook does and he is just a more superior being than Brook is physically...I mean Brook bulked up but was still clearly a bit smaller than Matthew Macklin when they stood side by side in a recent interview..

I think the angles that most of the pictures of the 2 side by side give people a false sense but on fight night it will be clear Brook is a natural small light middleweight at best

You need movement and lots of it to beat GGG due to how well he cuts the ring. You also have to carry power in order to make him hesitate so you can take advantage with offense. I don't think Brook has this attributes.

This is the first time in years that I agree with Khan.

However Brook entered the ring heavy or light he's going night night.

I belive this is a mismatch due to size difference but I'll also say this Triple G's oppenents are defeated before the fight ever starts due to fearing his power Brook is going in this fight with all the confidence in the world and that is what i think is going to be the difference in this fight no i dont think Brook will win but I do think that a lot of people are going to be surprised when they see how good he does.

Never mind about weight for this one, K. will make a good fight while it lasts GGG is just too big and better and it will be ...you can run but you can't hide ..finally ...but good luck Kell you really have balls and unlike glass jaw everyone apart from the prat's are with you!

I do agree GGG is bigger for the simple fact it would be nigh on impossible for GGG to get down to 147 and fight like Brook, so that says a lot.

My point was that it doesn't surprise me Brook is heavier judging by the weight he walks around at, it's no wonder he struggles to make 147. But i also don't think he will be bulking up as much as Khan tried to. I think Brook is more natural at 154 than 147, definitely not a middleweight but i don't think he will be fleshy like some guys moving up in weight. I think he can be solid enough at middleweight to carry the weight well, just maybe a little out of his depth.

The way people are talking is like it's a small WW against a huge MW. So i was saying their size different won't be that much, even though it exists.

Who cares what Amir "Kim" Khandashian says???

True. I saw Kahn fight live early in his career. He couldn't take a punch then either. Not sure why anyone would care what he has to offer n the way of advice to a fighter.

I actually think Brook hits harder than he's given credit. If I was Brook I would hold as much as possible for the first 4 or 5 rounds. It will be ugly but it might also frustrate Golovkin and slow his offense. Get him used to being held, then attack in spurts, but keep holding. Even if it's just to survive the full fight Brook should put on a Klitschko type clinch-fest. His stock goes up if he makes it to the final bell.

Khan is probably wetting his knickers in excitement right now.
