    He would have beaten Jessie Vargas and held the IBF & WBO but for whatever reason he chose to fight GGG. There would be a good chance of having an undisputed welterweight champion if this had happened.

    If you are familiar with Brooks' career, you would know the answer is the same 1 IBF he had.

    brook career is over, stop trying to convince yourself he is world class.... who has he beat that made him world class? hahaha? look at his record, his best win is shawn porter, lost every time he stepped up...ggg, errol spence jr....rest of his wins are versus your local post man, jo jo dan, bizier, fraknie gavin, etc.

    glass eyes is DONE....

    Would have beat Vargas, he took a career high payday against ggg which took balls but shortened his career massively, am a fan but so t have much sympathy for him he went for the cash.

    Can't make 147lbs and perform 12 rounds and the too guys at 154 are too good right now.

    This. Brook after the Porter fight should've continued to fight better competition to further sharpen his skills, but instead went back to fighting weak competition. In both the GGG and Spence fights he showed no improvement from the Porter fight.

    If Spence didn't beat him Thurman or Vargas would've did it. So Brook would be in the same position.

    Kell Brooks career is heading eerily similar to Kelly Pavlik . Pavlik chased
    a big fight with Paul Williams and when it didn't come to fruition he moved
    up to face Hopkins and was destroyed and never the same.
    Brooks chased a big fight with Amir Khan and when it didn't come to fruition
    he moved up to face Golovkin and was destroyed and never the same.

    this narrative that those that picked kell to beat spence keep trying to push, that kell was beating spence till the eye injury, is ridiculous. kell was getting all the special kicked out of him the whole fight and would have ended way worse were it not for the eye injury.
