Comments Thread For: Kell Brook Mulled Retirement, Hints at 'Big Changes' in Return

[Patsfan bri]

Maybe the big change is , he is not going take it in the ass before fights .

Ok, he said the welterweight limit of 147 nearly “killed him” and yet he is willing to force himself to make 147 Again for the right fight. Then, after his third lose he'll again say it was the weight limit that hurt him...lol

Brook is a warrior no doubt and he's talented, but those two eye fractures concern me as a fan. There's just too much at risk for him now. Both his eyes have been fractured, his mentality might change as we saw in the Spence fight, and he's moving up to 154 where the punches are gonna be harder. As a fan it sucks to see Brook in this predicament because he has so much more to give but injuries might forever change his career. If anything I wouldn't mind seeing him against Khan but because of those bad injuries I personally don't see him being the same again but I hope I'm wrong.

No need to retire. Fight one domestic rival for tune up, than Khan for another big pay day, than Andrade or something.

I fear for Kell and think he may be the modern day Michael Watson who was never the same after the beating dished out by Mike McCallum

[mani1]

If even half of what Brook said is true he has no other option other than retirement

[Madison Boxing]

khan fight will still make big money over here so he should stay active and work towards that. wont be the quite as big a blockbuster fight it once was but people will still want to see who would win and would be a stadium fight.

hahah yeah thats what i thought when i read that. basically says he cant make 147 without killing himself and affecting his performance but hed do it again if needed, right okay

[Roy Jones Jnr]

So now it nearly killed him to get back down to 147, but 2 weeks out from the Spence fight he said he was at 152.

What did you want him to say two weeks before the fight you silly twat? That he was killing himself making the weight?

Stick to watching hand egg, son.

I don't agree. Look at his with fight Marcos Maidana. Chico was beating his ass and drilling Khan with monster shots in the late rounds. Maidana had Khan on jelly legs, but Khan didn't give up. I don't like him because of how deluded he is about his abilities, but I got to admit he has heart. You can't compare Khan to Brook who gave up in consecutive fights. The second quit being in front of his hometown fans with only two rounds left.

I was really just making a joke. I marveled at Khan's ability to stay on his feet in the Maidana fight....but I do think it was an anomaly.

To tell you the truth, I didn't think Brook was that special even before the Golovkin fight. His corner stopped that fight, though...so I don't really blame Brook. I've also never had a broken orbital bone and don't know what that feels like...so I'm not about to label him a quitter for that one...especially in light of the fact that it was his second broken orbital bone in two fights. Sheeeut. People die in this sport. I don't blame him for fearing permanent damage.
