It's hard to tell by one pic that's taken from such an angle but that's not the point and we've posted before on here about how the physical size isn't the issue with this fight whether by (very likely strategically taken/photoshopped) ones by Matchroom or how they both look standing next to each other on the night  . It's the fact Brook hasn't faced a particularly big puncher at 147 let alone the biggest by a long distance at 160. This is pretty basic stuff tbh.

It's been posted by Matchroom and it's very likely been enhanced to promote the close fight agenda but none of us know that for sure and I can't usually be arsed speculating with boxing.  One thing that's undoubtable however is that apart from the aspects you've mentioned above the angle it's been taken from significantly enhances Brooks body language and conversely diminishes Golovkin's.  Can't really believe this has seriously been brought up in this thread, complete casual fan stuff.

Dillian Whyte and Luke Campbell are apparently world class now


Seriously jesus christ that fight at weekend was terrible. The white rhino was a mere punch bag that should've been taken clean out. Problem we have with Whyte is Hearn will feed him bums to build him and his golden boy up for a second fight.

Just noticed this cheeky comment.  The boxrec front page pulls together stats which are a useful reminder for checking who's fought who, when, and the outcome.  What it doesn't tell us is how the fight played out e.g. how the two styles matched up, how many swing rounds there were, whether the ref had a bad night, whether one scorecard was a robbery etc as such it's often overused by people looking to make a point about fights they don't know anything about.

Don't see what the point is at all. They're both shite plodders who lost when they stepped up. It's a mandatory so Ortiz has to take it. He's already beaten a top fighter in Jennings which certainly ranks him as a top 5 heavyweight for me

Yeah and even if it wasn't being forced by WBA he'd have had to take the fight to have any chance at all of getting the winner of Fury - Klitschko.

He gave Jennings a better beating than Klitschko did and Jennings is no mug.
