I mean he gave Golovkin quite a good go. Certainly had success in spots. Now the size in the end did play into effect. Yes essentially they came in close the same size, but one was used to that weight, the other wasn't. However, he was fighting the best middle weight on the planet, and certainly other career middle weights have not done as well as he did against triple G.
So, should he stay at 160? I do personally believe 154 would be a better division for him but ofcourse the choice will be Kell's.
Brook schooled GGG in the 2nd round, buckled him and made him step backwards.
This whole thing about Brook's punches not fazing GGG is absolute BS.
Agreed. He was clearly the better boxer, and I believe things would've been very different if it wasn't for the natural size advantage.
i didn't see the ight yet but from seeing his previous fights, his size, and his size leading up to this one i think he is definately a true 154 fighter altough id like to see him fight spence at 147 thought but i think itll be to hard to make weight
He definitely can.
Are we gonna sit here and act like Sergio Mora wouldn't get KOed by Kell? Gimme a break!
However, I think his best division however is 154. He can go there and do some serious damage.
I didn't think the fight was competitive at all. The difference wasn't in size because Brook outweighed GGG by half a pound at the weigh in and probably was just as heavy in the ring. Brook wasn't the least bit fat like Khan was when he fought Canelo. The big difference was GGG hit much harder and took a punch much better. GGG hurt him often and Brook's best punches didn't faze GGG. Brook needs to fight at 154. His chin and punching power aren't good enough to handle Jacobs, Canelo or even Saunders. He could beat some middleweights but not the very best ones. He might do alright at 154 but I would favor Lara to beat him. Anyway he is to big to return to 147 and not tough enough or strong enough to beat the best middleweights so that leaves his future at 154 I do believe.

If he goes down to 154 then work his way back in about a year or 2 then yes absolutely
Sure he made the weight but he wasn't able to bring his Power with him because he was only given a few months to become a Middleweight
I posted before the fight that I think Brook would be a BEAST at 154 and that he could beat a lot of the Top 154 fighters, I'm sure if it now!
I honestly don't see where he can go and be effective and i think highly of Brook.
147 Spence waiting for him
154 He could beat Liam Smith, but Saul taking that belt. I believe Andrade, Lara, Charlo, Williams are too skilled for him.
He'll probably beat on tomato cans in the UK after a year off most likely. Maybe he and Khan we cash each other out
May be not.. The fights are 12 rounds and he cannot keep that momentum for all 12.. Brook can dominate WW being genuinely big and may be even JrMW to a certain extent, but JrMW is a good division to be in like LHW and CW..
Yes, but when GGG retires, gets old or moves up, until then competitive will be fighting among the contenders for title shots.
He should go to 154,and win a few titles then gradually move up. No way he should be going back down to 147. He was a huge ww, and going back down now will kill his body.
