His eye will be what I want questions about in his return fight/fights.
Brook ruined his career..won't be able to make 147 again...loses to top 154 pounders?

Brook ruined his career..won't be able to make 147 again...loses to top 154 pounders?
Brook came into the fight in the high 170s...mostly muscle..that means he won't be able to make 147 anymore and will have to fight @ 154..not only did he lose out on money, but the top 154 pounders beat him. Alvarez won't fight him, but lesser known fights will and will beat him..Charlo X2, Andrade, and Lara all beat Brook.
So Brook, I hope it was worth it.
Therefore it's superfluous to assess his future...Comment

I agree. Letting your body fill out like that makes it much harder to cut back down to a weight class you were already struggling with. There's too much competition at 154 for him to be a title holder. He'll probably go back to fighting no-namers for a while. Maybe at 154.Comment

He weighed 159.
All he needs to do is give his body a few months to rest, muscle mass doesn't maintain itself. There is a difference between killing yourself to take weight off quickly and taking your time and doing it right.
He will make 154 comfortably and he is good enough to win a lot of fights in that division, he may even decide to fight again at 147.Comment

I thought this particular move was a bad one for Brook, but I can't hate on Brook's decision when he got the check he got plus tried to be great. More fighters should do this.
That said I don't have as high hopes as some do for Brook's future. In general its always a bad idea to project future W's after a L, but its hard not to sometimes when a guy loses in entertaining fashion or does just well enough to lose. I remember being up on Ricardo Torres after his extremely respectable, but losing performance vs Cotto.Comment

Canelo having problems mainly with mover, outside boxers like Lara, May or Trout. Brook ca move but he doesn't really fall into that category
Williams still has to prove he is on that level but against Charlo he will imo
and I like Andrade against anybody in 154 maybe except Canelo.Comment
