    GGG: 165lbs
    Brook: 176lbs

    Thoughts? Does even he make Middleweight easily now?

    Not surprised tbh. Golovkin always stays at weight, he is the definition of a natural middleweight.

    Wouldn't read too much into this anyway. Maybe mind games from Brook's camp, they could have easily just piled in more of Brook's daily calories prior to the weigh in and drank a **** ton of fluids to inflate his weight. Could easily gain 3/4lbs like that.

    True but if you look at the pics from the promo shoot and Brook's Twitter updates, he is not fat right now.

    He is hydrated which is the big difference. He is starved of water at the scales to make 147.

    Yes obviously. He's not going to be training dehydrated as a 147lber though is he? he dehydrates days before a fight to make weight. Just face it, he's not fat. He may be carrying more fat at this stage than he did when he was fighting as a welterweight, but he was by no means fat when he weighed in today.

    He's fat and in shape.. it's overlapping infinities.. a lot of the weight is unatural muscle if you will..


    He's not 175 of muscle.. he's 147 of muscle and the rest "fat"..


    Just a more buff version of Floyd Mayweather.. (in size though) or Khan or someone..

    GGG could make 154 easier than brook makes 147
    Brooks a 154 fighter, but I do agree over 1st to loose in 30 days can't be healthy
    Most fighters loose upto 7lbs water weight on fight week. Obviously GGG doesn't need to that could be the reason he's so strong at the weight. Perfect 160 pounder

    Agree totally. Froch was same a beast at 168, great stamina and chin and it was greatly helped by fact he only had 5-7ib to lose from his walk around out of camp weight.

    He's just a fat ******* who has probably done **** all training bar eat, just for these silly mind games that prove he's "bigger" than Golovkin.

    GGG is just the perfect middleweight. Comfortably making weight without killing himself and a great training camp each time.
