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

[whollisboxing]

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.

Kell Brook took the same deal that Chris Eubank Jr. declined and thus dared to be great. Hindsight is always 20-20 but a lot of people thought GGG was overhyped anyway so he took the risk. Honestly if it wasn't for him getting in there and having some early success then Golovkin may have never gotten any big fights.

After the Brook fight, everybody got brave all of a sudden.

i think i remember thinking brook should go to the states for a unification with thurman at that time, could be wrong on timing but that's what I thought, when I heard about this fight I was concerned for his health, ****** fight for him, him and thurman would have been a great fight

[DreamFighter]

brook was easily mashed.

and he didnt even manage one top contender defences, which GGG managed (although to be fare kell still has three years left to surpass GGG's record of one).

Blame Hearn, Hes the promoter not brook. Since he beat Porter he fought Jo jo dan, Kevin Bizier and frankie Gavin, he was clearly desperate for a big fight/payday. Probobly the worst management of a fighter in recent years that i can remember.

... But tell me who wanted to fight him, after he beat Porter?... No one...

I doubt Hearn put a gun to Brooks head and made him fight Golovkin. ****** decision on Brooks part. Probably wanted an extention on his house or something.

He was offered a lot of money for the GGG fight and he took it just like anyone else would. It was a career high pay day for him, $5 million dollars in total. Before that his highest pay day was $1million. After GGG he went back to getting $1mill or so per fight. It's not ****** at all, it's logical if you're a prizefighter. The majority of fighters would risk it in the ring for a multi-million dollar payday. Even knowing their chances of winning isn't 100%.

If I campaigned at WW, and my name was modestly known enough that I get offered $5million to fight a MW KO artist who might very well KO me, i'll take it

As i said Brook doesnt make the fights, Hearn does. So im not really sure what you're trying to say, and please dont say he ducked Vargas or thurman to fight Golovkin, as if that makes any kind of sense.

Brook didn't duck anyone...

Yeah he should have taken the Vargas right and unified. Would have made more Welterweights want to fight him.

Yeah, you'd think he'd get that in two fights if not one, and not get his eye busted up but hindsight is always 20-20.
