    He didn't "fatten up" though. It isn't like he came in looking out of shape. He looked pretty good. That outcome likely would have been the same even if he was a natural middleweight.

    I agree with all of this aside from Brook hitting as hard as Spence (at 147). I think at if both are at equal weights spence is the harder puncher, but Brook at 154 hits harder than Spence at 147. Both men drained to make 147 so that doesn't seem to be their optimal weight.

    I really hope they don't rush Brook, I believe he needs another fight at the very least before they even think about Charlo. A few people at mentioning the June date for Charlo, I can't see it happening but Hearn always says about taking opportunities when they are right in from the of you and Brook wants to return to top level asap, he needs holding back for his own good.

    Personally I'd want to see him out in June in a riskier fight than Rabchenko, a solid but winnable test, then a big domestic fight with Khan late September then early next year one of the 154 titles holders.

    But he shouldn't have to go to these guys' yards to prove it. None of them can draw a fly to a piece of dung. Let one of them show some cojones, like Errol did.

    What because hearn said he can he beats none of them and that fight was pathetic a journeyman would have gone more rounds and been more competitive and hurd might be the less skilled but he gives him the worst beating with his style and 100% brook quits Again

    How quickly we forget the lesson life teaches us, remember Groves-Eubank Jr. a mere two weeks ago?

    Yeah, same thing happens here.

    Brook boxes that plodding skill less punching bags brains out of the back of his head.

    He beats Jermello as well, his chin is better than Jackson's, which was Charlo's only saving grace in that match.

    Do you think Brook could fight the winner of Lara Hurd? If Lara wins, Lara Brook could be a very interesting bout and a good test for Lara.. Do you think Lara would fight Brook in the U.K.?

    It seems to me that Brook will wait until April to see that result as well as the Khan result, then make a decision in May. Unless he decides to take on Charlo in June but he would have to ink that this month I'd imagine.

    Lil twin charlo ****s brook up. If brook gets into the ring with charlo he gets stopped quicker than he did against Spence.

    Nope brook had no business at 160 not only that it was his first fight at 160. GGG should have won that fight easily.

    Maybe so. But I think it has more to do with the fact that you hate Golovkin and are a Charlo butt boy.

    Do you think Charlo or Lara is a more difficult fight for Brook? Which fight would you want to see more? I think I am rooting for Lara to win his next fight because I want to see Brook Lara. (if Brook Khan doesn't happen next)

    This. Beating Rebchanka doesn't mean anything, since an old Mundine schooled him and Tony Harrison knocked him out.

    Brook has skills, but Charlo and Lara are both more skilled than he is and Hurd will walk right through him just like GGG did.

    He's probably the biggest draw in the division now too, so he shouldn't really have to waste time fighting lower ranked guys to find out.

    He'll fight again this summer and then it'll either be a world title or Amir Khan. Ideally he wins a title first and Khan at least starts to re-establish himself so as to make the fight more interesting.
