    I think he could've maintain his peak well into his mid 30's but he took way too much punishment in his last 2 fights. Both of his eyes have given way so he won't have the certainty that is needed to win against the best.

    Taking that GGG fight was a terrible move for Brook. The future might show it as the beginning of the end for him.

      He'll do the fight with Khan. That's big money in the UK and Khan couldn't squash a g****..

                If he's made a nice lil pile of money he probably should.
                well apparently he made around 10 Million GBP for his last two fights and I cant see any future for him at 147 and moving up to 154 spells trouble unless he wants to end his career with a journeyman record, 15 losses.

                Eddie Hearn was clearly pissed after the fight, he reminded everyone that he advised Brook to move up to 154.
                A Joshua is the only star left in the Matchroom stable.

                  Exactly what everyone has already said. He either retires or fights Khan for a massive paycheque, possibly with an easy tune up first. He lost this fight partially because of the GGG fight and that has turned out to be a terrible move.

                    He's still a quality operator but when you've made a truckload of money but taken a lot of damage and have had both eyes now messed up in your last 2 fights, where do you really go? 154 doesn't really have money fights.

                    Khan fight is there but that fight's sell-by date passed a long time ago.

                      He's got plenty of guys on the comeup & Joshua is a pretty big star to have these days. If he moves right with Groves I think he can make him even more popular cuz cats seem to really like him.

                      And respect to Brook on the 10M, yea he don't need to fight no more, he needs to work on his commentating skills. You can do that for a whole lot longer even if you are seeing two mics.
