What did you hear?
wouldn’t surprise me, I think he’s shot to bits. His prime was 11 years ago or so, when he was fighting guys like Maidana. His legs haven’t looked great for a while and he’s much sloppier now, the speed isn’t quite what it was.
on the flip side, I don’t think Brook is quite as shot as people think. I mean he’s clearly not the guy that beat Porter, and definitely faded. But I think the Crawford stoppage was a lot to do with how he made weight. Brook always have problems making 147 and he had an entirely new team who probably didn’t understand how to get him down to 147 like Ingle did. I still don’t think fighting at 149 is totally ideal, but I think being back with Ingle and doing the weight properly over a good time period, it will serve him much better.
Early in the Crawford fight, Brook’s timing and judgment of distance still looked top notch, his legs didn’t look old or anything. His skills still looked there. His punch resistance didn’t but again, that might simply be down to doing a horrible weight cut with a team that doesn’t usually work with him.
