    He completely destroyed kells career that night, the guy could never take a punch the same ever again. You have crawford who couldnt even K.O glass jawed amir khan out there looking like a heavy hitter. When kell even gets touched in the face he flys 10 feet back into the ropes and goes down. Amazing what GGG did.

    You post crazy stuff but this is a possibility. Kell can still box but he can't take a punch.

    Agree. Brook was ruined, physically, mentally, and emotionally that night, and Spence feasted on the remains, Bud just beat a shell of a man and deserves zero credit for it. I was hoping against hope Brook could find something special, but it's long since gone. He needs to call it a day. That was truly sad to watch.

    Crawford imho has proved that he could beat brook at any moment of his career.

    Crawford is simply to much for brook to handle.

    I have little sympathy for brook. it was stupid thing to do, to go up against GGG, Okay he showed balls but not savvy. If he stayed at 147lbs or even fought at 154lbs for a few then came back down for the big fights, things could be a different but didnt happen.

    dont go up 2 divisions and fight GGG for crying out loud, the possibility of an injury is very high.

    btw, everybody and his mom knew that gg was going to ruin brook's career. You can dig in this forum and you will see thousands of comments saying so.

    I dont know what the F was brook thinking about when he did that, tbh.

    But there is no universe where brook could handle crawford in a ring. And it has nothing to do with gg.

    I don't like making excuses for a fighter.

    But getting KOd by a counter jab is never good to see.

    Fair play to Crawford he is the real deal. Beats Spence in my opinion, or anyone else at 147.

    it was daft to go up and fight GGG. Hes a rich man now and can retire rich, but that was a stupid move, needs to be pointed out, he took the money and got his face broke.

    And Brook can thank himself, for selling out his prime in an unwinnable fight against an abusive puncher in a division he didnt belong in, for a payday.

    Hell IF Crawford beat Spence and Garcia the same night you would find something he did wrong. The object is to beat the man who gets in the ring with you. Crawford has...37 times. Zero credit that

    Cant take a solid punch after the surgery to the eye socket. That punch was right on the eye, had him up 3-0 until that.

    Thats why my sympathy is zero and i dont make any excuses for brook. he believed his own hype and got hyped up in the UK trying to do the impossible and the very possible happened, he got ****ed up.
