    Best jab in the business

    Best ring cutter in the business

    Super high IQ

    So why - from at least the Kamikaze Brook fight did he become such a brawler?

    And if it was to lure the cowards in, why did he not revert back to his technical side vs Canelo? His skills are leagues above Canelos

    Could it be he is sick to the teeth of the corruption in boxing and wants little more to do with the sport?

    Age training and competition, but his jab was on point in the Jacobs fight.

    Lack of body shots had me flummoxed

    Brook skill wise was top notch, but Gennady fought him like a street fighter

    A 180lb roided Jacobs was a disgrace and should have been banned from boxing

    And Lemiuex would have destroyed Canelo before Canelo got on the gear and suddenly developed godly stamina and ability to take shots and recover

    I haven't seen much of a change, Jacobs and Canelo are just really solid guys that are hard to look good against. Yet he still managed to outbox Canelo soundly, and beat Jacobs by a narrow margin. The lack of body work annoyed me, but his jab is still solid and he still cuts the ring off very well, he just happened to be in the ing with two guys that fight off the backfoot well, that made his footwork look slightly less exemplary, but solid nonetheless.
