    Peterson and Brook would murder everyone on this board

    I know OP was being sarcastic in his post

    Brook never quit VS GGG
    He was wise to quit vs Spence

    Brook was being touted as this amazing fighter when in reality his best win was a MD win over Shawn Porter who he himself is a level below the elite.

    Peterson is a decent contender and was not hyped the way Brook was.

    He's a disgrace for bowing to the pressure to shave his beard off. The fight was already lost as soon as he conceded to that IMO. He should've defended his right to wear his beard like his life defended on it but he just capitulated and let them walk all over him like the weak little beta ***** he is.

    Unless anybody here can go the full 12 with Errol Spence JRN then maybe we should not be making comments like this
    I dont like expecting people to do something I can do myself so I can only have the greatest respect for Lamont

    Barry Hunter called the shots and controlled his corner like a professional He did a top job as trainer and this is how it should be Our fight tickets or TV subscription does not buy us the right to see these fighters on life support machines

    Well, mileage will inevitably vary, people are going to think differently to some degree. I was curious as to the extent of the criticism Brook received here, as I did not personally witness it.

    Are you thinking of the Golovkin fight or the Spence fight, btw? Brook-Spence was at welter, and that is the fight in which Kell took the knee.

    Spence took his soul.
    I've never seen such a look of discouragement on Lamont's face.
    Even against Mathysse he was still trying going forward. Here he looked afraid and just intend on surviving, but not trying another strategy either.

    Definitely some American posters said things to that effect and were the most prominent nationalty making those remarks but those were a notorious grouping for the most part who post ith an agenda and then obviously there are plenty of ignorant american posters who have never even hit a bag before who also made those same comments. But there are MANY American posters who are for the most part as objective as they can be and do have experience boxing - so a pretty sizeable amount of us posters who didnt and wouldnt make statements like those. In my mind Kell Brook is tough as hell and especially so mentally. I would in no way class him as a quitter and actually would call him a warrior.

    I didn't get that impression. It seemed to me that he was pretty well mentally prepared for (and resigned to) what was happening to him and was just putting in as professional a shift as he could. That's not meant as a scolding criticism of Peterson, just an observation.

    So Peterson is a 'proven warlord' because he quit?

    He had no career or life threatening injury.....He was just outskilled and outfought.



    But Brook has 'no heart' because he wanted to save his vision, actually witness his daughter grow up and potentially fight another day?


    The double standards is disgusting.....

    Just like the whole 'British Stoppage' vs American judges nonsense.

    Did I?

    I’m willing to admit I got a bit out of line with my response. I just feel it’s more of an antagonistic post then a genuine gripe.

    Brook was accussed of 'quitting' and having 'no heart' after both fights.
