Indeed, he's fought some unbelievable fighters. Those three are genuine class, all would be within the top 10 in the sport at the time he fought them.The only losses Brook has had have been to legit world class fighters. Khan really can't say the same.
That he doesn't have the résumé he should have is a legit criticism, but it should equally be directed to Hearn for screwing him after the Porter win. I mean who the feck puts their fresh 147 world champion in against the p4p scariest puncher in his era, who is two whole weight classes above him? He was never the same after that. Then, when he stepped up in class v Spence and Crawford, he was always on a hiding to nothing, and there's no shame in that whatsoever.
He's had a decent career but could have been better with a bit more luck. Very talented fighter, I think his problem has always been that his Ingle reflex based style tends to fall apart a bit under sustained pressure. It looks great when he's on top but at the very top it's a bit dubious and then he had to do a ton of holding to compensate. I think all Ingles fighters have been like that but he's probably been the most talented since Naz.
