    Kell Brook: 176 lbs
    Gennady Golovkin: 165 lbs

    So the question I have is this: has Kell Brook been using some shady method of keeping his weight down, like Con-yellow has been doing?

    :think

    Neither Canelo or Brook have ever been caught on diuretics as far as I know, so they're maybe just de/rehydration wizards.
    There isn't any evidence to put them in the same basket as guys like Chavez Jr, G. Jones, JL Love and Rios.

    Well I thought the same re Brook,he's in the same league as Canelo in terms of cutting weight.

    But surely Con-yellow has set off some suspicion in you, seeing that he fights at super welter but enters the ring as a light heavy.

    yep, it's pretty suspect of course. but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt thus far.

    Apparently after the first Jones fight he started working with a professional nutritionist to make weight so that could be how he's able to do it. Probably just gets his body fat % really low and dehydrates quite a bit like many other boxers do.

    He's only about 5'9" max so making 147 doesn't seem too outrageous to me.

    Yeah well Virgil Hunter said as much saying he'd love to be a fly on the wall in there while he's cutting weight and then rehydrating?
