    I honestly don't see where he can go and be effective and i think highly of Brook.
    147 Spence waiting for him
    154 He could beat Liam Smith, but Saul taking that belt. I believe Andrade, Lara, Charlo, Williams are too skilled for him.

    He'll probably beat on tomato cans in the UK after a year off most likely. Maybe he and Khan we cash each other out

      Brook might be competitive at 160lbs if he gets rid of that trainer who stopped the fight early. Brook also needs to learn to fight better with a swollen eye also. I'm at people blaming the weight on the stoppage... his eye gave him the most problems by far. It's like he never fought before with his eye swelling. He kept rubbing it and blinking.

          He'll probably campaign at that weight and be a champ in a few years.

            If he goes down to 154 then work his way back in about a year or 2 then yes absolutely

            Sure he made the weight but he wasn't able to bring his Power with him because he was only given a few months to become a Middleweight

            I posted before the fight that I think Brook would be a BEAST at 154 and that he could beat a lot of the Top 154 fighters, I'm sure if it now!

              I didn't think the fight was competitive at all. The difference wasn't in size because Brook outweighed GGG by half a pound at the weigh in and probably was just as heavy in the ring. Brook wasn't the least bit fat like Khan was when he fought Canelo. The big difference was GGG hit much harder and took a punch much better. GGG hurt him often and Brook's best punches didn't faze GGG. Brook needs to fight at 154. His chin and punching power aren't good enough to handle Jacobs, Canelo or even Saunders. He could beat some middleweights but not the very best ones. He might do alright at 154 but I would favor Lara to beat him. Anyway he is to big to return to 147 and not tough enough or strong enough to beat the best middleweights so that leaves his future at 154 I do believe.

                I would honestly like to see him fight GGG again.

                I think he'll struggle more with the likes of Jacobs - That's a big 6'1 or so dude.

                  Brook schooled GGG in the 2nd round, buckled him and made him step backwards.

                  This whole thing about Brook's punches not fazing GGG is absolute BS.

                    He definitely can.

                    Are we gonna sit here and act like Sergio Mora wouldn't get KOed by Kell? Gimme a break!

                    However, I think his best division however is 154. He can go there and do some serious damage.

                      i didn't see the ight yet but from seeing his previous fights, his size, and his size leading up to this one i think he is definately a true 154 fighter altough id like to see him fight spence at 147 thought but i think itll be to hard to make weight
