Kell Brook has been so poorly managed/matched through his career.

    Kell went through what Spence is going through now. None of the top fighters want anything to do with them. Kell had to move 2 divisions just to get a bite of the brightest lights. Lets see if Spence is also forced to move up in weight just to get a willing dance partner.

      Good post. Personally, I'm not too much against his fight with Golovkin. He took a beating, yeah, but it wasn't career ending. The bigger issue was going back down to 147 only 9 months later. Dude looked huge against Golovkin, he weighted like 176? You don't just lose ~15-20 lbs of muscle without negative aftereffects. Then he got beat up by Spence for 11 rounds.

      He should have taken the Golovkin fight, then fought a journeyman at 154 in a year, then went for a world title shot against like Lara about ~15-16 months after Golovkin fight. Similar thing that Mikey should do. If that dude tries to immediately go back down to 135, he'll be an idiot.

        Wasn't Eubank Jr supposed to fight GGG back in 2016. He lost his pen and was having 2nd thoughts, and kell brook wasted no time and stepped up, though I am not entirely sure if eddie hearn pressured kell into it, or did kell truly wanted it.
