Brook is done, he was ****** enough to fight GGG

He had no chance to win that fight. GGG is just naturally bigger man, his frame is bigger, Brook couldn`t take his shots. That was obvious from the first bell.
Brook was crazy enough to sell his own career for 1 pay day with top middleweight.
He saw Khan fighting Canelo for career pay day and he decided to become the same well paid punching bag for much stronger fighter.Comment

He was trying to 1 up Khan. I'm too lazy to find the article, but Hearn said he begged Brook to reconsider and not fight Golovkin. Of course, not only did he not listen, Brook also came in with the wrong game plan. He was extremely heavy, with a ton of muscle mass that went onto his frame within (I believe) 5 months. Iirc, he outweighed Golovkin through all the weigh ins, and on fight night.
Then he decided to try trading during the fight. Brook is absolutely, 100% responsible for derailing his own career.Comment

How do you know Brook took the fight because he saw Khan get a big payday fighting Canelo? Do you seriously believe Brook thought he would lose and took the fight anyway for the money? GGG isn't much bigger than Brook who is a huge welterweight better suited to 154. I agree Brook is a shot fighter but why? One beating should not ruin a determined mentally tough boxer. Lots of boxers have suffered one or more beatings and come back strong. Spence also must have had something to do with Brook being shot. Brook fought reasonably well against Spence but Spence still knocked him out. maybe that loss took away Brook's confidence and love of boxing because it was his fights after Spence that Brook really started to look lousy.Comment

He did mess up his career but at the same time after he beat porter he didnt even fight anyone of note. Hell they couldn't finalize a fight with riosComment

Brook is a rich man. He made millions fighting C level guys like De Luca even in his last 3 fights. I don`t even believe he will drain him self for only 1,5 million dollars for Crawford.Comment

yep brook ruined his career by trying to outdo Khan. Both Khan and Brook got destroyed and are now shadows of their former selves. Now Crawford, after his embarrassing performance against Khan, is now chasing the damaged Brook. SMHComment

That fight may have fractured brook's eye socket, but the funny thing is that ggg hasn't been the same since that fight as well. ggg got exposed so bad in that fight. ggg has been on a slippery downward decline since that 2016 fight.Comment

I think if brook didnt do his eye socket in he'd be ok. He was talking as if he damaged gg g more afterbfight.
I think brook has some good wins left.Comment
