Brook's resume is bad.

Who said a shot Khan was Brook's 2nd best win?
I''ve never heard that ever or are you just pulling it straight out of your arse?
That's rhetorical....

 

He won several rounds in the GGG fight

 

Never fought Pac or Mayweather..

 

Or Margarito or mosely

 

Taking that fight did so much for the perception of his career. Before that he won the belt from Porter but then proceeded to follow up with Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier. Fans and journalists were growing tired of his soft touches so he then goes into negotiations to unify with Jessie Vargas. The plan was for him to get that WBO belt and drop the IBF so he wouldn’t have to face Spence.

Vargas wanted too much money and Eubank “lost his pen” so Eddie offered Brook the same deal as Eubank for GGG and he signed it. Then after getting one side of this faced crushed by GGG no one expected him to move back down and defend vs Spence. Everyone expected him to campaign at 154 but he defended against Spence and got the other side of his face crushed. Those two fights earned him tons of respect in the boxing community and deservedly so.

 

When you watch the GGG fight back without the promotion propaganda, two things were obvious.
Golovkin was barely bigger, if at all, and Brook was getting smashed from the first round.
The idea he was winning is laughable. Golovkin hurt Brook bad in the first round, causing him to hang on. Golovkin also dropped him in one of the early rounds but it was called a slip.
All that happened is that Brook landed some shots while also taking big ones and everyone just cheered the shots he landed.
He also sustained the orbital damage in the early rounds he was supposed to be winning.
It's just a shame Eubank wasn't on the end of a beating like that.

 

No SRL or Greb either. Because that was of his own doing too.

 

Yeah because Mayweather was notorious for choosing difficult, challenging opponents in their prime right

 

It's not like people were lining up to fight him, which in part is why I think he risked taking the GGG fight. His career was floundering, Khan didn't want to know and he wasn't a big draw so people were not really calling him out.

I do recall them trying to make Brook/JMM at some point but probably due to Marquez's injuries at the time which kept him out of the ring for ages before he finally made his retirement official.

He did turn down a fight with Bradley though so he definitely could of had a deeper resume had he wanted it.

 

C'mon you could see the difference in ring between a true MW and Kell Brook who was nowhere near MW.

 

The world knows this. He was being lined up for a unification fight with Diaz and it never happened.
He's career was terribly mismanged. Garcia, Thurman and others should have all been in the ring with Brook.

 

The Khan win was deeply personal. If they hadn’t of thought it would of been similar to Lewis not fighting Bowe. He doesn’t have to be reminded of that now
