    He made a living fighting mandatories, but at the same time he was dreaming of Khan.

    Hearn was ecstatic when Brook captured the IBF title from Porter. His first word was Khan's name. How Khan would be begging for the fight; that they'll be the A side, etc. Turned out that Khan wasn't even interested. Two years and their entire focus was Khan. Have never seen such sick obsession in this sport.

      He told Max that Brook was looking for a way out at the end of the previouis round, and then told him that Brook is about to quit. Then in the next immediate round after Brook's team throws the towel and you still doubt that Brook quit?

      I don't know what kind of love potion Brook gave you for you to be in complete denial about something so clear and unambiguous.

        Actually, you have, and ironically enough, from Khan himself. Remember when he couldn't keep his mouth shut about Mayweather and kept begging and begging and begging for a payday and May kept trolling and trolling and trolling him.

        Now Khan is doing the same thing to Brook (acting, ironically enough, just like Mayweather did to him, perhaps subconsciously emulating Mayweather).

          The Khan fight was a big fight money wise for him so not too much of a problem going after him first but he would need to go after Spence next (unless he expects to get Manny afterward).

            Brook has to fight Spence next or get stripped.

              you mean like brook continuing to box [not quitting,] and his corner throwing in the towel [quitting?] that kind of clear and unambiguous?


              what roy jones throught was going on > what actually happened. clearly.

                    I know. I'm saying if he vacates the title for Khan or Manny (or Cotto or Bradley), I am fine with it. Otherwise, should be fighting Spence.

                      His corner threw the towel coz they knew that Brook had had enough. You're too dumb to comprehend Roy's words clearly.

                      Roy said that Brook was looking for a way out, what that means is that Brook wanted to quit but didn't want to say it directly that he wants to quit, he was hoping that his team would do it for him so it doesn't look like he is the one who quit.

                      That is what Roy was basically saying, and that is exactly what happened. His team realised that Brook had had enough and waited till half way through the next round to throw the towel, so that the gullible fans like you can fall for the 'Brook didn't quit narrative'.

                      Unfortunately, Roy saw it coming from a mile away. Remember, this guy was a boxer himself, one of the greatest ever, he knows what he is talking about, he's been there.

                      But if you want to keep living in your imaginery world where Brook didn't quit, then that is fine by me.
