    Would had beaten any other WW besides maybe Thurman IMO. And it was WELL documented that Kell was doing good with his weight for the fight. If that can't be a great win over a prime opponent, almost nothing is.

    honestly that brook was greatly diminished.

    he didn't have the energy level he normally did. that fight against GGG ended his career at WW.

      You must not watch many Kell Brook fights. I've watched his last 15 (that I could find) over the last 5 days. He's never been a stamina freak. Especially with that concerted body effort from Spence. He was always going to fold.

        I agree. That's the best he's looked doing the weight in a long time. Spence beat the best version of KB. But it's time for Kell to move up now.

          exactly that , brooks known to party and blow up in weight for 10 years , carson jones give him life and death down the final rounds many moons ago, and senchenko rocked him badly .... spence is levels above and the body work early was barely mentioned on the british tv , but i agree this was as good as ive seen brook look , but spence is just better !

            Brook just took the beating of his career vs GGG and got permanently damaged, had to move down 2 weightclasses and went back to fight a dangerous young guy and it showed.

            Which other fighter is able to move up 2 weightclasses move back down and still be an elite fighter? Nobody.

              you can't honestly believe that. You really think Brook was in the most ideal situation coming from that Golovkin fight? Coming off a beating and surgery is now being prime? I guess Kell is headed towards ultra prime now. The fight showed Brook was mentally affected. It was a good win, but be realistic.

                That was the best Brook has looked in a fight period.

                  Kell Brook doesnt like extreme pressure and he just happened to fight 2 of the best pressure fighters in the sport in Spence and GGG, to be honest hes been matched up badly.
                  He could have had easier fights against Khan, Garcia, Diego Chavez, Berto etc or even Thurman and probably remained undefeated.
                  Hes been matched extremely tough in his last 2 fights and the results are a reflection of that.

                    It's all about this, nothing to do with Kell being out of his prime.
