Re: Boxing/MMA

Brook has undergone eye surgery. Expecting a retirement to be fair. His career as a P4P contender is over, it's a career filled with should've or could've but he opted to fight mandatory challengers and absolute bums for the majority of his career whilst parading as a legitimate champion. He ventured to the US on one occasion to take a title but couldn't find the will to do it again and reach a new level, he opted to stay at the one level throughout his career and then fell victim to Ricky Hatton's downfall.. the fact he'd sat at the same level, making no adjustments or going up notches, improving etc that when he finally took a big fight he was exposed horribly in the way that Mayweather undid Hatton before Pacman finished him off... same story with Brook and Golovkin and then Thurman finished him off.

If he persists and demands he fight Khan then so be it, beforehand I had Brook with a chance of knocking Khan out and competing over 12 rounds. If Brook can't put Khan away he'll get battered by Amir over 12 rounds. If Thurman is breaking Brook with a few well placed shots then Amir and his speed and accuracy are going to cause an absolute nightmare for Brook that'll only end in an inevitable TKO via injury.

That's always been the case with Khan though, if you can't stop him dead, he'll batter you for 12 rounds with ease. One of the most exciting offensive 147's in the world but lacks the defensive skillset to be the best.
