    Great career, only lost to the best. Battering Khan was a great way to end his career

    Smart move. Hope he still has all his marbles to enjoy the rest of his life.

    Not really the reason you posted in this thread though, is it? You came to sprinkle some redditesque diatribe on a thread which gives boxing fans the chance to give props to a very good fighter. But don't worry, I'm sure they'll soon be some YouTube vids about Kell's retirement for which you will find a more appropriate home for your observations. Kindred spirits and all that...

    For someone who posts so infrequently and yet keeps replying when being maneuvered into doing so, I can only assume from your 872 posts you've only ever made three points. None of them memorable...

    I've always been a bit of a Brook fanboy. If he'd looked after himself better, he could have won more belts at 147 instead of taking the GGG fight which was a hiding to nothing. Much as I enjoyed his career, I feel he could have done more if he'd been more dedicated. Very skilled, good jab, decent reflexes, great control of distance, decent power. What he lacked was discipline outside of the ring.

    Good fighter but should've never took that Golovkin fight.

    Now, let's see how much cash the Coner Benn people will dangle in front of him as bait to lure him out.

    What's sad is calling a man who stepped up 2 weight divisions to face the most feared fighter in any weight class, a bottler, from your mum's spare room.

    Glad to hear he didn’t ***** his record to the manufactured win streak of CEJ.

    Maybe I'll even start analysing people's post counts on an obscure internet forum ;)

    Looking at a number that's presented to you on screen might be analysis to you, but to me it's just reading. A fairly basic attribute. Glad it impresses you...
