Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: No Disrespect To Khan, But It Felt So Easy In There

[BustedKnuckles]

Brook seemed more focus than khan and wanted it more. The moment khan got hit it seemed like his confidence was gone

It wasn't his confidence. It was his chin. You know he's chinny. We all know it. It can't be fixed.

He used to have really good hands imo. But once Brook came in with those superjuiced shots, it was clear where it was headed.

Khan reminds me of AJ for some reason.

I enjoyed watching what I expected. This same result would of happened 5-10 years ago. That said, I don’t think Brook understands that this was a gift. He needs to retire. He will be hurt fighting a current big name champion. I don’t want to see that.

Why is Khan an imbecile regards his career choices? He has made perfect choices to maximize his career earnings which have been 20-30 million - and that is the game + retire in relatively good health. In the last 7 years I can't think of one fight announcement that has had me equally baffled and excited as Khan vs Canelo - just the audacity of it [although Brooke-Golovkin and Mikey G-Spence ran it close].

Brook I agree with you to some extent. He obviously got paid well to fight Golovkin but if he hadn't of taken that fight then he'd have been fresher in the Spence fight. He won the first half of the Spence fight and if he may have done slightly better had he not had the Golovkin wear and tear. But yet again Spence may still have busted one or even both eye sockets. Even if he still lost the Spence fight I feel like he could have gotten back in the mix at WW against the PBC fighters and eventually made more money than he has. Brooks biggest problem alongside poor fight selection has been that he's not a natural welterweight but not powerful enough to make a huge mark at 154.

No one on earth would refuse Canelo and even my grand ma wouldn't. So Khan accepting to fight Canelo shouldn't be a compliment as he did that for Money

Great retirement purses for both guys. It's time to call it a career.

Although I think Brook would be wise to go out on a high, I personally think he has more to offer and would be live against the likes of Thurman, Ugas and García.

Now while I think any version of Brook would lose to Crawford, you’ve got to factor in that their fight was Brook’s first one back at Welterweight in 3 years, at relatively short notice and also without his longtime trainer. I don’t think he’s shot by any means and could still have one fairly decent roll of the dice left.

Because it was easy. For God Sakes, Khan still have cupping marks on his body. He was very under prepared for this fight.

Brook approached Khan as if his power wasn't an issue, and it would be just a matter of time before the fight would be stopped. Brook is the better boxer, but he looked a little slow, and he took too many clean shots from Khan. While I believe Brook looked in excellent physical condition, a victory over Khan should not be the bench marker when trying to decide whether his career should continue or not. Khan is an overrated and terrible boxer. While I've always wanted Brook to get in the ring and beat Khan up, I think Brook, if he's financially secure, should retire. It would be a great way to end a very good/respectable career.

Agreed, if Brook fights any top level fighter again, he will be knocked out into retirement.

Khan needed strict VADA testing to have a chance in this bout. It was like a man vs a child. Khan couldn’t even clinch Brook the strength difference was so extreme.

When Brook was smiling as he walked Khan down in the 5th round I was really happy for him.

He knew there was no fight in Khan and was enjoying himself.

That is one of the best feelings you can have in a boxing ring.
