If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
The calculated risk that every man and his dog fully expected to backfire, did so spectacularly when Golovkin literally smashed his face in. He fought Spence hard for the most part, was probably winning up to a point but then broke again. The party line being that his other eye was damaged, and it was to be fair but Spence broke more than his eye that night.
Never really the star attraction that everyone thought he was going to be. If he was he might have been able to cream a few belts off the top in easier fights. His three biggest fights, squeezing past Porter, a hiding from Golovkin and a beatdown from Spence. That's a few tough shifts right there.
He looked in proper good nick in the pics and vids that he posted recently and fair play to him for that part, always been an issue for him staying in shape. Physically on the surface he looks ready to go. Scratch the surface and there's damage there that can't be undone I feel.
He'll fight again for sure. But if he gets a big fight against top class opposition. I'd fully expect him to hang in there for a bit until he's softened up enough to plausibly quit between rounds pointing at one of his dodgy eyes.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

Kell Brook vs Mark DeLuca: Sheffield fighter admits to ‘dark times’ as comeback announced after year out
Kell Brook has revealed his relief at coming through “dark times” and vowed to put on a “statement” in his return to the ring next February against Mark DeLuca.
The former world champion has been out of the ring for more than a year since a points decision over Australia’s Michael Zerafa last year.
But Brook (38-2, 26 KOs) has now vowed to impress against the little-known American at the FlyDSA Arena on February 8 as he bids to move back into contention at 147 and 154 pounds, more than two-and-a-half years since losing his title in a knockout defeat to Errol Spence Jr.
“I’m so happy to be back and I can’t wait to put on a performance for my city on February 8 live on Sky Sports and DAZN,” said Brook.
“I’ve had a year out, there has been some dark times but what I’ve realised is I love this sport and I know I have some of my biggest years left in the game.
“DeLuca is a strong, gutsy fighter who is always ready for war but I’m planning on putting on a statement and showing the world that I’m still a force at 154 or 147lbs.”
DeLuca (24-1, 13 KOs) is a southpaw hailing from Whitman in Massachusetts and is nicknamed ‘The Bazooka’.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Him and Khan will be planning the ultimate retirement purse fight for next year - quite frankly neither deserves it any more
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
Personally its not a fight that i care for anymore. I would tune in if it was on channel 5 or the under card of a big fight but the interest for that one isn't there anymore.
I would prefer to see Kell against Crawford with the outside chance of an upset for shits and giggles.
Kell Brook ‘offered around £1.5million’ for Terence Crawford world title fight in November
Terence Crawford’s promotional representatives have reportedly made an offer of ‘around $1.5million’ for Kell Brook to challenge him in November.
WBO welterweight champion Crawford is rated as one of the top boxers in the world pound-for-pound, but is struggling to secure top opposition due to the politics of the sport.
Crawford is aligned with Bob Arum’s Top Rank in the US, while most other top 147lbers work with Al Haymon’s PBC.
With top target Errol Spence facing Danny Garcia next, Crawford’s turned his attention to a Manny Pacquiao bout overseas.
However, this is appearing unlikely and so alternative options are being considered for a US fight behind closed doors.
And now, according to Mike Coppinger, an offer of roughly $1.5million has been made for Brook to face Crawford in November.
Promoter Arum previously told iFL TV: “Terence Crawford, we’re trying to put together a fight with Manny Pacquiao, which would be out of the United States.
“Now, if we’re able to do that, that’s the fight I hope to put together.
“But if we’re not able to do that fight and we have to do it in the ‘bubble’, we are looking at having Terence fight Kell Brook.
“I talked to the Brook people today, they know what the situation is and they’ll be back to us.
“They assure me that Brook has lost a lot of weight and is getting into tremendous condition.”
The Sheffield star won the IBF welterweight world title in 2014, but was dethroned by Errol Spence in 2017.
Since then, Brook has had three bouts all in the weight class above, but is adamant he can get down to 147lbs again.
Arum continued: “I don’t know whether it [the Pacquiao fight] is gonna come to fruition or not come to fruition.
“It’s such conjecture at this point, again, I don’t even have a concrete offer. Nothing at all concrete.
“To do a Crawford vs Brook fight is a lot easier because then it would be a fight that would be in the ‘bubble’ here in Las Vegas.”
