    Brook is a big Welterweight he doesn't balloon!!! He is just big, and cuts a lot of weight there is a difference.

    Team GGG spread the propaganda to make him look smaller and give him a reason to duck Ward. It helps him p4p as well, why doesn't he fight Canelo @ 155 if he's a small middle or even 157?

    Brook would walk around @ 170lbs, fight night weight would be 165+

    If he ballooned up he would be 180+

    Kell's HEAD is 180! His head could make Cruiser alone!

    This is basically how I see it unless he gets a sustained beat down from GGG

    Cashing out and with a good reason. The pay is huge and he retains his title and all other fight options. He'll earn respect for bravery and could well end up having a couple of other big exposure/big money fights as a result. His loss will hardly hurt his career, as he's fighting a guy who's considered a monster two weight divisions up. Has to be careful to avoid serious injury though, as GGG hits very, very hard.

    He didn't get an offer from Canelo @155 or 157.

    Anyway, I rate Brook very highly and I think he has the size to move up. Props to Brook!

    Both. This is far from the first time a fighter has jumped two weight classes to fight the champ there and it won't be the last. But also, that's where the most money is I'm guessing

    BS he said no to 155, he said flat out he will not go that low for Canelo even though they claimed anyone 154-168.

    I'm still waiting for someone to prove to me GGG is much smaller than Martin Murray!!!

    GGG is basically the same size as Murray only a touch smaller.
    Nothing to write home about and Murray is a very big Middleweight (CEJ is a huge middleweight even bigger than Murray)

    He's cashing out before that British glass gives out.
