If Brook never fought GGG..

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

If this is the end of Brooks career just how many more paydays would he have achieved if he stayed at 147.

Brook made alot of money after the GGG clash, but that left him with a huge mental scar.

With both eyes damaged..I hope the money he made tonight will cover him for the potential 4-5 years he had left in the game.

Does he take 6 - 12 months out and risk coming back as a light middleweight or just get a massive payday with Khan?

Taking that knee must have been very hard for him tonight..

Think Khan would want to fight him now, he is damaged goods.

Brook had his moments in the fight..shame he couldn't have lasted one more round.

Cotto would destroy those eye sockets at 154.

Hindsight does suggest fighting GGG was a bit silly. At least work your way up through the weights and acclimatise yourself incrementally. GGG is one of the hardest punchers in the sport. We all thought it was a strange matchup that didn't really prove anything and it ended up with a serious injury. I struggle to see the sense in doing that. Okay it was a big pay day, but if you have several years of good fighting in you why bother doing it? Go up the weights naturally and maybe even catch GGG struggling for the weight at 38 or something. It was an odd one like Khan/Canelo. No need for it IMO.

Completely agree.

All that rubbish bellew was saying about no one will want to fight Brook after this...really?!

It's either Khan or Cotto for Brook now for that pension payday.

Why would it be the end? His right eye seemed fine, reason to believe the left can be fixed up as well.

There are options for Kell if he wants them. I'm not sure how good the options are though. I mean, he can make a lot of money vs Khan, but it doesn't do anything for his standing. And most of the guys at 54 will have enormous reach advantages.

His decision though. The guy seems a class act.
