    Nah, he's done.

    Was done before this fight. Good luck to the lad, he's not had the credit he deserved. Someone should have saved him from Eddies Golovkin idea though.

    100% should retire a wealthy and happy man having just beat his nemesis in more than convincing style.

    For better or for worse he will fight on though, at least for 1 more fight.

    I would strongly advise him to fight Benn and not Eubank. Conor Benn at 154 is winnable for sure, I would make him the favourite in fact so if that fight is there for him then that would a good option as Conor is small, inexperienced, and never been in with anyone as good as Kell. He's also prone to being a bit naïve tactically.

    Eubank is a non starter for me- far too big a gap to bridge size wise, remember Eubank held his own at 168 for a few years Kell is a career long 147. Eubank is also physically, much, much stronger and more durable than Conor (who is small even at 147 and started off at the wrong weight) so Eubank is a step to far and at his age and with his injuries the last thing Kell needs is that.

    He should retire. Ignore Eubank the muppet who is trying to manufacture a fake beef by saying Kell took the GGG fight from underneath him. Eubank must have had memory loss. They didn't sign the contract so Earn offered it to Brook.

    Both Khan and Brook should retire. Another two big personalities from British Boxing will be gone once these two go.

    We're left with Okolie, Boring Buatsi, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank's Sons. Great.

    Kell looked really good. Surprised me. But I.agree unless Khan again (easy pay day), call it a day. He doesn't need eubank jnr, unless he ca. Drag him down to 154 and have the biggest pay day of his career

    Yes as Eddie knows brook is not a good match up for Benn. He knows Khan is fragile but brook still has it. Bad match up for Benn. I don't think Eddie risk brook vs Benn. He might let brook get old and fat and then make the fight hoping brook is past it.

    If he wanted one more good payday then it would have to be Benn. Any of the big American names would chew him up and Jnr would be too big for him. But stay retired. He's worth 16m apparently.

    I hope with all my heart that this was Kell Brooks' last fight. He has nothing left to prove.

    He should go out on a high beating his biggest rival.

    He looked good last night but Khan was shot to bits and didn’t have his legs under him from the first round.

    Brooks done it all now, there’s no need to carry on…. Go out on a high when you still have a bit in the tank rather than go on too long

    I know Conor Benn has said he would fight the winner of last night but I think Brook showed too much of a pulse for Hearn to risk his little manufactured project. Unless Brook calls Benn's bluff and starts making a lot of noise to try and back Hearn into a corner.

    I think this rejuvenated Brook would look sharp early versus Benn. But Benn would take over in the 2nd half of the fight.

    16 million, really?

    where did he make the big bucks, or has he been really shrewd, fair play to him if true

    Just what I read mate. If he has a portfolio of property's then that would push it up. Maybe he's very shrewd with the money he's made from boxing

    Eubank even admitted this in one of the interviews he did last night. Literally said his fight didn't happen so they offered to brook

    If he makes it to the second half of the fight. Brook has good timing, a good jab, and a good defence, Benn has none of those.

    Kell walks him onto something hard and stops him. Didn't look as past it as the consensus agreed he was last night.

    He's done at top level but I'm sure he has few pay days left If he picks carefully.
