There’s never a good reason to quit in a fight
I understand an old fighter giving up
But Brook was a fighter in his prime
Fighting in his own backyard so there’s no excuse.

Look at Margarito, that’s a fighter
Even Malignaggi didn’t quit (vs Cotto)

Are you joking? You don’t get credit for getting your ass kicked
If that’s your logic then McGregor has a better resume than both
Because he fought Mayweather.

They both beat Porter but Thurman has beaten Garcia and Guerrero
Who are both better than anyone Brook has beaten.
There is an argument for both sides, brook has faced the better opponents whilst Thurman has beat the better opponents.

The one thing that is nonsense though is saying it is ok for an old fighter to quit but not for a younger fighter.

Brook was concerned about lasting damage to his eyesight, he may have just prolonged his career for a good few years by them fights being stopped when they were.

Just because a fighter is brave doesn't mean they are smart, in fact a lot of the time they are being fucking idiots by fighting on with serious injuries.
