    Don't expect Brook to return to 147 after he gets KO'ed by Golovkin and the lights are turned out.
    Brook will very likely stay at 160 to avoid his welterweight mandatory, Erroll Spence.
    That means Brook will very likely vacant his IBF title to Spence.

    I don't blame Brook because Golovkin does not possess the wrecking ball type of destruction that are housed in Spence's basketball sized hands.
    It's better to experience a light KO by Golovkin and earn a few million than suffer a knocked out cold and post fight hospital visit at the hands of Spence.

    ahhahaha spence himself said "I give brook every credit he is fighting a monster in golovkin who is known to knock out heavyweights in sparring big respect"

    those are his words

    He is fighting a 160 ib Gennady Golvokin a much much much harder fight then 147 ib spence which is a 60-40 fight for kell

    Kell can fight 10 rod salkas after this fight and retire and i wont say anything about

    I don't think Brook should kill himself to make 147lbs.

    It's unfortunate but I just don't see him having any desire to go though all stress again of making WW.

    The idea brook is ducking Spence when his moved up to 160 to face GGG is laughable.

    exactly brook can fight 10 more rod salkas and i dont care
    you have fighters like porter and thurman thinking they took big challengers fighting each other in the same weight class

    Brook fought the best fight 2 weight classes up in gennady golovkin at 160

    none of these fighters come close in terms of taking the risk brook took

    Well i knew that Brook wont fight Spence when he became his mando,its high risk low reward type of fight after all.

    He took the Golovkin fight simply because of the money,he will lose and go down to 154 or 147.You have to understand that Brook turned pro 12 years ago and thats his first big money fight even if hes gettin stopped and had to move up 2 divisions.He would never get Pacman or Mayweather fight because they are gone and were not interested in the past anyway,who else is there ? Khan turned him down etc.May be D.Garcia or Thurman but when ?...

    Dude has been weighing in higher than GGG every weigh-in and looks surprisingly solid for it.

    He's not going back to 147.

    The Golvkin fight is clearly the harder fight at the moment so not a duck at all. That being said the welterweight division is a stronger division than the middleweight division (I think he will drop back down to 154 after the loss)

    He might not return to boxing period, if GGG destroys him.

    very good money, cuz the PPV numbers can be solid

    You've gone full troll mode now huh? Nice pic as well. Let me guess, you're one of those people who suspect mysterious ped juice in his water bottle, right?
