This is an odd one for me & I'm really wavering.
On the one hand, I give Brook huge props for going up two actual weight divisions to face the best & most brutal MW of his era, but on the other hand, it smacks of Brook trying to get oneupmanship on Khan by going up to fight a real MW for his title; especially odd when he is a trinket holder in one of the hottest divisions in boxing with a lot of unfinished business to boot.
Ultimately, I should give the man respect for taking on GGG, because there are a few fighters who lack the balls to fight Golovkin & the're bigger men than Brook.
If he loses, then he still has the option of dropping back down to 147, although I don't know how it would affect his confidence.
