Brook before the leg stabbing was on his way to becoming the greatest Welterweight of our generation.
Shame his career got ruined by freak accidents and injuries.
The schooling he gave Shawn Porter in his own backyard is one that true boxing fans will never forget.
Dynamite in both hands, great defense and timing, the whole package.....
‘Freak injuries’ by getting punched in the face.
Damn! He has ONE credible win in his 40+ fight career. And he arguably lost that fight, the UK commentators actually scored that fight to Porter. So do the math... ‘Schooling’
He apparently got stabbed for making ****sexual advances to a drug dealer in Tenerife. I think you would have stabbed him in a different way.
I always felt he was compromised a bit by the weight. If 150lbs was a weight limit he would have been very difficult to beat. The two Carson Jones fights are an example of this.
As far as 147lbs - yeah things kept happening and the small windows when he was active and firing...all the other top ww's avoided the fight.
People forget that most of the other champions were offered the fight. D Garcia was offered $5 million, Thurman, Bradley, Vargas....they all waited Brook out. He was avoided.

Vargas signed to fight Brook. Brook opted out of it to fight Golovkin.
Still has time. I think Brook still has a lot left in the tank. He was 4-4 vs Spence after 8 rounds, beat Porter, has always looked worse against weaker opposition. I really think him vs Crawford would be a great fight. Brook is much more skilled than Khan and Khan can't take any kind of shot now, so would be a much better fight than Crawford vs Khan was.
