The answer to this question is because so many people tuned in to see the arrogant f***** lose, and on top of that he was the greatest fighter of his generation.
Brook seems to be hunting primarily for paydays now over fights that make sense i.e in his natural weight category, hopefully he can boil down to WW and perform to his best but I doubt it.
In any case the ballooning up to MW will catch up with him at some point down the line
spence v brook would of been an awsome fight, not now tho, hearn ruined brook's career, he can't come back and compete at the elite level @147 anymore..
not a chance.
fu hearn.
c*nt
Don't you think the final decision was down to Brook? Or do you think all fighters are slaves to their promoters
and his promoter is responsible for not destroying his fighters career to fill his own pockets ffs.
Brook wanted a big money fight -Hearn provided a $5m+ payday & the biggest purse of 2016 so far.
What is the problem?
Brook was clearly happy to cash out his 0..better than risk losing to Spence for less than a quarter of the money, right?
You haven't thought this through properly
There we go... Don't pretend you don't know what the term afro-centric means when you clearly know what euro-centic means! Exposing yourself now! You don't like the general term huh? Well you're American of African descent are you not? Just like Irish Americans are of Irish descent etc You are an African American son!
If you don't like the term then what term would you use? Do yo have a problem with the English language or something? You don't seem to have a problem using it here? Use your own tribal tongue then how about that? If you're not AA then George Washington, Winslow Homer, Butch Cassidy, Orson Welles, Marilyn Monroe & George S. Patton are English then!
If you're not an AA then don't use that cheesy American ghetto smack like sit yo simple azz down clown LOL
What a total embarassment you are :gives:
This guy just got punked in his own back yard.
Pissed me off how he acted as if he'd won clearly at the end of the fight & gave shumenov very little credit. He thought his PBC connection + Haymon would guarantee him a tasty little bit of home cookin and bail him out but thankfully the judges scored right. Instead of taking his loss like a man he went on an embarrassing rant and ended up looking like a complete fool. Haha
This guy will b lucky to get his commentator job back after showing what a ***** he is
Only wish we could've seen David Hayes face after the fight after his joke of an interview..
A lot of people are gonna be eating their words when Eubank gives BJS a good ass wooping. As athletes they're different levels , BJS is not world class and small at the weight. He is also classless. The Eubanks have succeeded in winding him up and it's gonna work in their favor.
Yeah, amazing courage shown.
Shane McGuigan should have let him finish the fight tho. Throw the towel in early if you're gonna...the man fought for 6 rounds whilst barely being able to stay upright ffs, now we gotta listen to how Bellew ''stopped'' Haye. He didn't stop jack sh1t...Haye was stopped by the injury.
100% agree
It's possible to achieve this physique through a combination of top notch genetics, cutting edge diet & good old hard work and determination
It's not like he started smaller and doubled in size, he's been this way since his amateur days.
I'd b more inclined to suspect Wlad or Haye
Haye's chin failed him against Mormeck? You mean when he was briefly KD'd?
You didn't think it failed him more when he was legitimately TKO'd against Thompson?
The mormeck KD was a legitimate chin check. If you rewatch the Thompson fight you might notice it wasn't Haye's chin that was the problem... it was poor conditioning and over confidence
The Klitschko brothers and their management are single handedly to blame for the collapse of the heavyweight division.
Wladimir Klitschko fights scared and has a poor resume
What about Mock?
We're saying the same thing...Haye has a shaky jaw... hence his overly defensive strategy vs Wlad. If he'd had the stones to trade with Wlad we may have seen some shattered glass. I'd actually forgotten about that KD. Great recovery from Haye
I see it more as his jab grab style coupled with his natural distance advantage that protects his jaw. Corrie Sanders had speed and power and wasnt afraid to trade and be hit to get off his own shots. That's all you need to have a good chance at beating Wlad.
Unfortunately David Haye possessed the first two qualities in abundance but crucially not the latter (at HW) due to his chin failing him vs mormeck at CW
Yep... thing is Corrie Sanders trusted his speed & power & he had the southpaw stance. He almost .. well he did get to Vitali several times... Vitali could take the shots & make the adjustment... Wlad couldn't
People here all sleep on Corrie... but there's a reason he's the ONLY one to really sleigh a Klitschko & that was his RARE combination of speed & power coming from the southpaw stance. Haye was scared shetless to get hit & therefore only lunged at Klitschko for the most part & played defense almost exclusively the entire bout.
Yeh Sanders was no joke. KBRO out of interest do u believe that Wlad was drugged for the Brewster fight? Do u not think prime Brewster had the attributes to beat that version of Wlad?
I wish ppl would stop talking about the Klitshcko brothers in equal terms.
Vitali is a top 20 atg.
Wlad is a cherry picking homosexual. Anyone who puts Wlad top 10 atg is ignoring the fact that he can't take a punch and would be obviously ko'd by Louis, Liston, Foreman, Tyson, Lewis and many more atg heavies. Wlad is a great HW, but barely top 25 and frankly horrible to watch. He gets marked down heavily by me for his crap resume and opponent selection, marked down further for his overly cautious style, and further still for what he's done to HW boxing.
Saunders is domestic, not even B level. He's also small at the weight. Eubank started late and would already beat him. Give Eubank another couple of years, anyone with an eye can see he's got the tools to be a top tier fighter.
I don't see any irony here whatsoever...
Brooks resume doesn't touch Khans and Khans resume doesn't touch Floyds. Doesn't mean these fights don't make sense and aren't worth the B-sides pursuing. All these fighters are just doing what they gotta do. Don't you get it? You're the one getting things mixed up. Cause you're thinkin with your agenda
Problem with Ward is that he doesn't realize he has very little drawing power compared with other top fighters. Demanding millions each fight shows his delusion and business naivety.
He needs to build on his fanbase. The only way for him to build up his fanbase is by fighting...which is exactly what he is not doing.
