    Did Eddie Hearn destroy Kell Brook's career?

    Kell Brook should still be in the mix right now. The guy went to the US and he took Shawn Porter's unbeaten record. Funny how Shawn Porter and even Amir Khan are still getting paid and Kell Brook is on the shelf.

    It's sad at this point. Why throw the guy in there at 160 with a killer when he's 147?

    He's been ****** and unlucky.

    He wanted the Golovkin fight, he asked Hearn to make it. ******.

    Both injuries were unlucky, especially the one in the Spence fight, which he was winning until his eye broke because of an headbutt.

      He won the early rounds but Spence was winning before the stoppage

        Of course he was, Brook had a broken eye for 3 rounds caused by an headbutt.

            I know you don't like facts. Spence got lucky, that's a fact.

              GGG destroyed his career, just like he did to Rubio, Proksa, Vanes, Ishida and others, who retired or were never the same after fighting him

              that's what he GGG does to opponents, he destroys them physically and mentally like a bawss

                Brook was desperate for a big fight as he struggled to get a big name opponent after beating Porter. So he took the GGG fight when the chance was there. Which proves that anyone claiming Brook ever ducked anyone at 147 is a moron.

                At the end of the day, boxing is a short career and it’s about earning a living. You can’t blame Brook for taking the GGG fight and the money that went with it, as he didn’t know what other opportunities would come up.

                But to answer the question, I’m not sure if it was Eddie Hearn that directly wrecked Kell’s career, more a combination of Hearn offering it and Brook taking it.

                  He'd still put Khan to sleep I know that. Khan ducking till the end of time as far as that fight goes.

                    After saving Eddie's ass with the GGG fight Kell should've made enough to retire but he didn't. Kell took one for the team and his career was ruined
