No what for the participation award ? Stop supporting mismatches this fight should have never been made.
We found out why there are weight divisions. This fight shouldn't have been made for this reason. Brook was not the best WW in the world. He should've proven that first. I don't blame him for wanting to go after boxing history though, but he had no credentials going into that fight other than beating Porter and being a bit bigger than the average WW.
Much respect from me, he did better than a lot of real middleweights do against Golovkin. He showed a lot of courage in taking the fight, he showed a lot of courage in the way he fought and showed more skill and durability than I expected.
Brook deserves respect because of accepting GGG fight. Frankly, I am surprised Brook didn't try hold/clinch. He was brave, and has been defeated by better opponent. I wish him fast and complete recovery. I would like to avoid hype around him (similar hype was not so long ago about David Price). He is not top 5 or 10 pfp, it is evidently. Pigment haters are usually persons with extremely low IQ, it is a great pity they are so numerous on this forum.
Brook gets all my respect! He fought bravely and lost in the ring to a terrific fighter. I wish him speedy recovery and more good fights. I also think he will be in a far better position to negotiate big payday fights in the future and he deserves to get these.
