Now that the book is closed on Brook, can we agree he's one level above Domestic Euro Champ?

FU.

 

No, he's a very good world champion.... but not great.

 

"strsight up B fighter"
only a totally ignorant fool would try believing that.

he's a straight up A fighter and A+ on his best night

 

Good fighter, but Golovkin destroyed his entire career, big mistake getting injured so badly by Golovkin then fighting Spence without a tuneup......................Golovkin would destroy Spence also.............

 

No, he's a top 5 welter. I have him at

1. Spence
2. Thurman
3. Garcia
4. Porter
5. Brook

But he really needs to retire at this point. He's taken too much damage and only more beatings await him at 154.

 

Brook did well, Spence is the goods. He started the body work in the first round to slow Brook down and it took 11 rounds to break the spirit of Brook who went to eat with the most feared fighter of the current era.
Maybe Golovkin is hype, maybe not, but Brook went to war with him and then went into the Spence, another feared fighter, fight fighting with all of his heart.

He could have dropped the IBF, went up to 154 and the anti American crowd would have not said ****. Instead he realized he could not get a big fight and still fought his mando.

* Side note- Diminishing a fighter is a slick way of diminishing his competition. If you clown Brook ,you are pseudo clowning Spence. I give that to Golovkin fans. When he was fighting Rubio and Geale his fans acted like they were prime beast instead of the TV fodder we knew they were.

 

Brook is a well respected world champ, I think he under achieved but was still over hyped for what he did achieve.
