    .... had he not made the decision to step in the ring with Gennadyevich?

    All of them :deal:

    Probably none because Hearn seemed incapable of making fights for the other welterweight belts and Spence would've beaten him regardless. Maybe Brook does better if he was still consistently making 147 without the 160 blip, but I still don't like him late in that fight.

    Just the IBF. Well actually maybe he could have gotten a Pacquiao fight. I doubt he would have been able to get a match with Thurman

    left strap muscle and right strap muscle.

    its debatable whether either one is still intact after 3G.

    No, he still would have taken a beating from Errol Spence and lost it anyway. What the GGG fight did was legitimize Brooks standing among casual fans and gave Errol Spence an even better scalp to place on his resume.
    I'm still very impressed with Kell and I was huge doubter, hell I was hating on CST80 for saying that Kell was slick. Well Kell Brook shut me the F up.

    His eye was a major problem in the spence fight. Coupled with moving up then back down to 147 and going in against Spence so soon was stupid.

    Probably this. Spence looks like a little monster right now. Although the weight fluctuation and the GGG beating didn't help any.

    Spence is a great fighter, but Brook was thrashing him. It was Golovkin pulverising the eye and the weight fluctuations that beat Brook that night, not Spence

    Could be, it's hard to tell. Certainly bone damage like the eye socket injury takes a while to heal.

    I didnt break my orbital but smashed my head hard enough to give myself permanent double vision. When it first happens you have no idea which object you're looking at is the real one. To have that happen while in a ring with Golovkin must have been terrifying

    This.

    He'd have none. Hearn earned him a fortune, that's obvious. But in terms of accomplishments? He didn't do a thing for him.
