Brook had his moments but that were all they were.
This misconception needs to stop. It dumbs down boxing fans in general. If he took them to give them he would have fired back. Numerous times he had both hands up to defend and got hit still because his head is as stationary as my refrigerator. When he would have both hands guarding up the middle Brook would loop his right around his guard, when he had his guard wide Brook cracked him with the uppercut. And many times no punches came back. Because GGG was trying to defend. His defense is just bad. He is a great fighter but he isn't perfect. His defense is bad because of his lack of head movement. He gets hit because of bad defense. All the excuses for his bad defense are simply that, excuses.
