Kell Brook: 5 years of horrible career Moves

[R_Walken]

There has been some rubbish career moves there. He also had a bit of bad luck, after he was stabbed obviously he wasn't going to come back in a big fight, also the IBF give him some crappy mandatory fights which never helped matters. Those things i can't blame him for, especially the fighters IBF made him fight if he wanted to keep the belt.

Going up to fight GGG and then two divisions back down to fight Spence was the biggest mistake. At least he was consistent though, he still refused to drop the IBF belt and avoid Spence. So at least he didn't take the rubbish mandatory opponents then drop the belt at the first hard fight like some fighters do, he took on all comers for his belt, even if it meant killing himself to go back down two divisions.

Had he stayed at 147 and not fought GGG, i truly believe that Spence fight might've been very different. I still give Spence a lot of credit, but he caught Brook at the very best time he could.

I’m not dissing Brook as a fighter obviously he showed massive balls to fight Golovkin and went back down in weight and fought Spence right after , He went to enemy territory and beat Porter. He has heart



But as far as making the right career decision wouldn’t a unification with Vargas been a better move which at the time was being negotiated. I mean Brook would have been favoured, had a opportunity to get a 2nd strap and he looked at as the #1 WW instead he takes a fight which was basically a suicide mission

Fighting a faded Cotto for potentially a strap and a HOFs scalp surely is better then fighting a former sparring partner

And yeah with the exception of Spence the IBf mandos week to always be a no hopers but in the 2 years from the time he beat Porter to the time he fought Golovkin his 1 voluntary was Gavin surely there’s a better name he could have fought in a 2 year span then that

Just think Brooks team have done a horrible job guiding his career the last 5 years with the fights he takes
