Dude has only 3 major fights in his whole career a win in a sloppy/hugging fest fight against Porter at welterweight, a beating from GGG at middleweight, and then another beating against Spence at welterweight! The rest of his career were against euro bums. Then he don’t want to move up to 154lbs where he belongs. He still wants to weight bully. Even tho I don’t like Amir either but I hope Amir Khan whoops his ass next!
I think Brook was stupid thinking he had a chance against GGG.
Not cause of the weight difference but because GGG was just a better fighter.
GGG ruined him and Spence finished him off.
Now all he has been doing is picking cherries so him and Khan should fight because they are both cherry picking.
I respect everything Brook has done as a fighter. He's gone to war with 2 fighters that most boxers have avoided and in both fights he showed he is tough and talented. His fight with Porter also showed him to be a formidable opponent. I wish more boxers had his willingness to test themselves as he has. Brook deserves the fan's respect.That's all true and very brave of Brook but it doesn't change the fact that the guy he last fought and the guy he fights next are bad cherry picks with zero chance of beating Brook. Brook wants to be thought of as a top 154 pound contender in line for a title shot. You don't earn that by beating up on such poor fighters.
It was a good win and the "hugging" was 100% MMAPorters fault. That's just how Porter "boxes"
Even an above average WW could demonstrate how average GGG is/was
Brook is hardly a Top 10 WW. Hes not rated highly in the scheme so I dont know why you're upset.
A guy like Gennady or Deontay, for instance, have fought bums their entire career save for - literally - just a few fights. And they were not impressive in those fights...those guys are highly regarded though.
Why? Because the average boxing fan is dumb. They eat up ESPN and Jim Lampley's fireplace storytelling at if it had any bearing on realityWilder is guilty of fighting mostly very poor opponents. To say GGG's competition is remotely like Wilder's is a stupid wrong lie. GGG defended his title many times against guys rated in the top 10 in the world at the time he fought them. As soon as he easily knocks them out GGG haters like you say they were bums to begin with when they were not. Lemieux, Murray and Monroe are still top 10 contenders years after GGG knocked them out Jacobs is again a world champion after GGG beat him, you stupid MF.
Weight bully is an idiotic expression. If Brook makes the contracted weight he has broken no rules and bullied nobody. As for both Brook and Khan being ridiculous complete cherry pickers since they came back they sure as hell have and they get no pass from me not that they care.

Hes got plenty of stick on here for years. But another way to look at it, is he beat an undefeated unbeaten champion in another country, took on the most feared fighter two weights up, and the following such damage as to need surgery fought the most destructive welter in the world and gave him a very hard fight until the closing rounds. After everyone on here was convinced he was going to relinquish hes title. Oh, one more thing, he wanted the Khan fight at the higher weight, its Khan insisting on 147,despite having fought above welterweight just as often as Brook. 🤔
To be fair, he did get stabbed just after being Porter, then the IBF give him some terrible mandatories before he went to middleweight to fight GGG and then straight back down to fight Spence.
i think those three fights alone shows he was more than willing to test himself. it wasn't his fault that the IBF give him terrible mandatories between those fights.
i wonder how many current champs would've defended their belt v Spence in that situation rather than find an excuse to vacate. Probably not many.
