Kell Brook was never really that good

I don't know what you were watching but that is absolutely not true. Spence was nervous and apprehensive at first, the fight definitely began at Kell's pace and he was the more comfortable and in control of the two. As it went on Spence took over, but in no way did he dominate that fight from start to finish. Kell is a great fighter. He counters well, has a solid IQ and is extremely strong. Unfortunately he seems to have issues with either the integrity of his eye sockets or bone density in general, plus he's taken two hugely demoralising losses in a row. He will never be at the top of his game now. the odds on getting 2 broken eye sockets 2 fights in a row must be 80 quad trillion to one.

Obviously Eddie Hearn agrees with you because if he doesn't, then why on earth would he cash him out against a punching destroyer like Gennady Golovkin? I am no fan of Hearn and his bullsh*t but Brook wanting that money, anyway, anyhow, was a big factor as well.

Hes arguably better than everyone at WW except Spence It just happens that Spence is that good Brook could have gone through Khan, Berto, Diego Chavez, Danny Garcia, Lamount Peterson and Thurman and possibly beat them all. Hes a good boxer, very sharp with good power. Its just a shame Eddie Hearn managed him poorly and either gave him ridiculously hard fights like GGG and Spence or ridiculously easy fight like Frankie Gavin and no hope Dan. Should have gone to Al Haymon Khan is the only one out of that list that I'd have bet on Brook to beat, and only because of Khan's (lack of) chin.

Always thought he was massively over rated based on his resume!

He's a pretty good fighter, to be fair. Take a couple of retirement fights at 154 and say goodbye to boxing. That face won't hold up longer than that. Good luck.

Brook was very good. Unlkess you was very good, brook stopped you very fast. Nobody could takje the punishment. Spence is really good and brook tested him really well.

Loma looked great across more than one division and looked impressive against Russel Jr. and Nicholas Walters. Crawford has been dominant in more than one weight class and looked dominant against Gamboa, Burns, and Postol. The point is when Loma and Crawford stepped up in competition or weight classes, they maintained their dominance. Kell Brook has 1 or so strong wins against Shawn Porter who (has since) demonstrated he was not as good as his hype. And in that fight Kell Brook was not anywhere near as dominant as Crawford or Loma have been when they stepped up in competition. Brook also got stopped by an unproven prospect in Spence. Loma's lone loss was a fight he would easily win now, today, but he was unaccustomed the ruggedness of professional fights. That and Laurence Cole is arguably the WORST referee in the last 15 years. Shawn porter is better than anything on Crawford and Loma's record. That says a lot.

Kells problem is he has been 147 fighter for so long he just can't do it anymore you can see he was very competitive upto 6 rounds (in fact was up on the cards) as soon as it got to later rounds his body let him down as Spence knew best way to beat a weight drained fighter is go to the body. No reason to doubt his skills look at the first 6 rounds they was competitive. He never actually tested himself at 147, he went through the easiest path. If we look at the people he could/should have fought in his time at 147, then you would know he waste the little talent he had. The biggest irritating thing about him was the hype or people trying to call him the man at 147 based on him beating only one genuine contender in porter.

i know spence is the man being hyped up at the moment but come on now. he hasnt fought anyone worthy for you to make that statement. wait til he fights someone credible first. Well I know we all don't think that highly of Chris Algieri, but he obliterated Chris, and stopped him in emphatic fashion -- something a not yet shot Manny Pacquiao could not accomplish. And in what world is going into Kell Brook's hometown, and stopping him, not a credible win?

Another British bum

Brook is good, his management however was not.

He was good but never elite. Stalled his career for too long wasting his prime years fighting C level guys. 1 good win other than that nothing significant.

I have been saying it for years, Brook is the most carefully managed guy in boxing hadn't fought a puncher in over a decade. As soon as he did he quit before he could get knocked out. Has an absolute joke of a CV not one guy he beat could beat Julio Diaz in one go. That's right you'all musta forgot. As for his so called eye injury, if he does not retire im calling bull ****.

Dude Broner hurt Porter in the one round he tried, the same Broner who couldn't even remotely hurt Paulie, if Brook was special he'd have shown he could hurt Porter like Broner did, instead he clinched him for 12 rounds like he was hugging his first boyfriend, the queer fück. Brook aint special, ok he quit aint no shame he held his own for three rounds and made it competitive for another 4-5 rounds versus Spence. Don't act like he's a hero for facing GGG he wanted a lucrative fight and he paid the price in full getting a thorough beat down and nearly being stopped in one round, dude should never have taken that fight but gullible Brits will pay for anything. You say Broner didn't try until the last round against Porter, but why is that? Porter's a wild, brawling rough house mofo and Broner couldn't do shit with him all night until the end, which was not enough. Later, the rarely seen Brook beat the difficult Porter. Paulie couldn't punch because of brittle hands, but he's a cagey, savvy fighter. That's how he lasted as long as he did. I'm not saying Brook is a superhero, but he sure had the balls to fight one of the most feared men in boxing in Golovkin, while moving up 2 weight classes to do it. While Canelo calls the man up to the ring after KOing glass-jawed and lighter Khan. He talked huge shit in his moment of bravado, then realized, "Oh shit, I'm not ready for this guy yet", and handed Golovkin his belt. I will allow that fighting GGG was a dangerous mistake, which exposed a weakness in his orbital bones. He did at least showcase his ability to give Golovkin a hard time with excellent speed, timing and accuracy. It gave Jacobs the courage to face Golovkin, which in turn gave Canelo courage too. For Kell's trouble, he now probably has titanium steel reinforcing both orbital bones, which may be strong enough to give him another crack at boxing.

Lol @ you guys who say Brook isn't special, is a "B" fighter, quitter, ect. He jumped up 2 weight classes to face Golovkin, who has one of the highest KO ratios in the business & is highly regarded by the experts. This, when Canelo was waiting to see if Golovkin could maybe be worn down a bit & weaknesses observed fighting anyone but him. This, when Eubanks, Sr purposely made ridiculous demands to control all aspects of promoting a fight with GGG in order to price his bum son out of it. Kell fought Spence, another highly regarded fighter by the experts. Errol was even projected to be great like Mayweather was, by Mayweather himself. Brook lost to both Golovkin & Spence; not from a terrible ass whipping- he gave both a hard time. But from a broken orbital bone which holds the eye in place. If you get a speck in your eye or a lash, your vision is blurred, it hurts like hell & you can't wait to get it out. Now imagine the very bone structure in your skull that holds your eye in place being fractured! That's got to hurt like a mofo, & your vision has to be seriously fucked. All this, while trying to fight someone who is trying to take your head off. Brook a quitter, not special, a "B" fighter, ect? GTFOH!! Dude Broner hurt Porter in the one round he tried, the same Broner who couldn't even remotely hurt Paulie, if Brook was special he'd have shown he could hurt Porter like Broner did, instead he clinched him for 12 rounds like he was hugging his first boyfriend, the queer fück.

He is no different that all the other guys we hype up. Spence weak resume Ggg weak resume Beterbiev weak resume Usyk weak resume Lomanchecko picking up some steam I could go. Brook is still world class he just dared 2 be great he lost Usyk is the number one at his weight, Brook has never been the number one at his. Contrasting when you take into account how fights Usyk has had and how many Brook had by the time he narrowly clinched his way past Porter. Brook hasn't a tenth of the heart Usyk has. He should stick to hanging around gay bars in Grimsby and taking horny sailors back to motels.
