    Kell Brook against both Crawford & Spence Junior was not out matched technically, he was right there with them.

    I favor Amir Khan against Kell Brook now, because I think his conditioning just may be too good for Brook at 147 pounds or whatever weight they are fighting at.

    I have no idea what weight they are fighting at?
    149 is the agreed weight and Brook will be deducted 100,000 of his purse for every pound he is over

      Truth.

      The part that really ruined it for him was coming back down to 147 after finding a clear home at 154, to get blasted by Crawford.

      If he would have avoided that, he would probably be in really good standing right now at 154. Without needless punishment and probably in clashes with Charlo.

        What was he thinking fighting GGG? This was a prime GGG at that. Silly fight.

        Should have stayed at 147

          Than he fought 3 very mediocre guys at 154 , one fight yearly.

          Than he drained back to 147 to get smashed by Crawford.

          This guy has done some terrible career decisions.
          100% couldn’t have been worse tbh. Abysmal.

          the sick thing is that he could have beaten Spence if he just stayed at his right weight class. He was a big time drainer though

            Brook was a pretty decent fighter(anyone with dholes in his undies can surely take a punch)

            But his problem was he gives up too easily (& I suspect he'll lose to Con for same reason) he mismanaged his own career because he was never mentally strong enough to maintain a elite career,so he decided to cash in his chips)

              He might have been right there with them but he's got no dog in him when the going gets tough. He just crumbles, ever since golovkin smashed his eye in. He's scared of getting hurt. He turns away to avoid getting hit in the face.

                When Pac and Floyd was still around Brook was a long standing WW and did nothing to secure any of those fights. Either he was injured or something happened that fights would get cancelled and then he would fight a no hoper.

                His career has been mismanaged and he had a lot of pauses along the way. He even got stabbed once.

                  Well yes, his breaking point as I said 'Is reached more easily, ever since the Golovkin fight'.

                  It is probably a combination of things. The injuries he sustained vs Golovkin and the struggle to make 147 pound limit.

                      Agree that he's made some daft decisions.
                      difference is that brook is a good counterpuncher, so crawford fought a different style. they were essentially waiting to counter one another, it became a chess match and then crawford beat him to the punch but only once he'd tasted a bit of brook's power and realised it was no threat.
