Brook just beat a shot Khan who hasn't had a real fight in 3 years, and now people are saying he KOs prime Manny :rofl:
Kell quit against every elite fighter he's fought- GGG, Spence, Crawford. Took multiple knees against Spence.
Real warriors have won fights with broken jaws, eyes, hands, etc. Spence would die before taking a knee.
Brook was always a front runner, a bully. Big strong guy, but never had the heart to beat someone like Spence or Crawford.
Also didn't have the discipline to live the life of a champion.
I'd take Thurman to beat him, prime or now.
who ever said prime brook ko'd prime manny?
There was thread made about it a day after Brook beat Khan, I was surprised how many people thought Brook would've beaten Manny.
idk what the comment about spence was, he was never seriously battered in a fight so how do we know he would never quit ?
brook would have beat khan at any time in their career.
brook-thurman would have been a competitive fight for sure.
this last welter era was a bit weaker than the previous era with cotto, margo, pac, floyd ect. and the era just before that with dlh, ike, forrest, mosley trinidad.
brook was decent enough. idk why you say people are overating him, i think they were just pleasantly surprised he still had decent timing at 35 after all the beatings and broken faces hes taken.
I don't think anyone has said after the Khan fight that Brook beats Pac?
However, Prime Brook (pre GGG) was a beast. His balance was immense and because of this his countering and timing was slick and clean.
He gave Spence all sorts of trouble and that was after he was damaged goods really. I think it's fair to say if he hadn't fought GGG, he may have won that fight.
We'll never know how good prime Brook really was, due to the strange decision to go up to face GGG. But I think judging him on losing to GGG and Spence after moving up is a little unfair.
It is a a social media world, and the highlights of him dominating Khan are trending right now. Wait until the next big fight. Brook will be brushed aside fairly quickly.
I hope he goes out on this. Any other fights and it will be ugly for him. My guess: He probably doesn't and gets embarrassed in a follow up fight.
Both Brook and Khan were shot, I don't know what all the fuss is about Brook was always going to flatten Khan, he is just too strong for a guy as fragile as Khan, I mean khan was wobbling from jabs, it was like a poor man's memorabilia night, Brook was never in doubt and Khan was just talking his usual pompous crap, either gets blown out against a top comp right now, good farewell fight hope they both retire before they get really hurt, in reality, Amir could be one punch away from brain damage he will probably suffer later on as it is.
I don't want to see these guys fight anymore it really is a dangerous sport to hang around in.
