Well regardless. I still think he'd give a decent account against Charlo and Hurd(if he were to fight either) who both look terrible even in victory, and he certainly isn't losing to Liam Smith lol.
Shame because Kell has balls of steel. He MOVED UP to fight GGG while the legitimate middleweights Jacobs, Canelo and Saunders were all waiting for GGG to slow down due to age. Considering the state of his eye sockets, can't blame him for wanting to cash out.
He’ll always have my respect for that, it was a g move even though it was the worst thing he has done.
Been having this debate with my mate on the ps4 who seems to think Brook is capable of beating some of the big 154 pounders. I'm having none of it. Charlo, Hurd and Munguia smash him. Williams, Trout, Lara, would beat him too, and I'd even pick Eriksen Lubin despite the fact he was iced in 1 round by Charlo. I'm probably missing a couple of names. This is all fantasy though as it is clear that Brook is hand picking himself fights until he can cash out against Khan. However, Edward is constantly planting the Crawford/Khan seed, so maybe, just maybe, Khan is still ducking the Brook fight. If so, I can see Eddie sacrificing Brook to the likes of a Jermell Charlo just so he can put it on DAZN with the goal of signing Charlo, if he hasn't done already by that point. Will Brook pick the money over the beating once again?
Brook is 1-2 against decent opposition. Porter - W Golovkin - L Spence - L Everyone else has been Grade C throughout his career And now he is too lazy to make Welterweight - a division where he has spent all his adult life.
agree....even if he didnt fight for the title at least go for a kirkland or something charlo was very interested in brook and he would come to uk obv brook just want the khan pay day now, after you break your eyes and lose your belt infront of your own fans your soul is gone from boxing khan will chase a title even if it means fighting spence but brook is finished in my opinion
Brook is not a fraud! He made some dumb career decisions but, the guys has heart. Jumped 2 divisions to face G, then takes on a young destroyer in Spence. All the while you sit back in the cozy cofines of your home(probably your parents) and have the nerve to say Brook has no heart and is a fraud. Recalculate!
This Cook guy isn't even a top 40 154 pounder and the fight will be chief support on PPV. It looks like the only title fight on the bill will be fought by Katie Taylor. What a scam job by Hearn.. Total joke of a PPV undercard.
Thats pretty much how i think of it too. Hearn promised Brook the big name would come to the UK but the problem was why would any top 147 fighter come to the UK? Hearn had a PPV quota to fill and Brook became a victim of it.
Khan has heart too and a wayyyy better career resume than Brook. Why doesnt he get the same praise also, apart from all the glass jaw and racist jokes? Double standards.
Brook was exposed every time he stepped up. He's one of the most over rated of the last 10 years. Brits are well know for over rating their fighters.
