    What are your thoughts on Brook potentially strategically missing weight and losing his strap on the scales against Spence Jr?

    Many other fighters have taken huge stick missing weight, why do I get the feeling this will be acceptable on ESB?

    If he was going to lose the title why would he not vacate and move up?
    Also it becomes a lose / lose situation.. he loses and received criticism for coming in over the weight or he wins and received criticism for being over the weight and has no belt?

    What makes you think he would? Ive never seen anything to suggest he is likely to do anything shady before the fight.

    Brook wouldn't be fighting Spence if he didn't care about the title. Why should he? Spence is a high risk fight and not a lot of money. So it doesn't make sense to lose it on the scales.

    He will just use the excuse that he was too big and couldn't make the weight and he probably thinks GGG's midas touch the sense of being untouchable has rubbed off on him.

    I think Brook fans will still praise him for taking on Spence?

    I didn't start the rumour, I am just circulating it

    What if it does happen, will you give him a pass?

    But why do you think he'll miss weight on purpose though?
