lol if the wbo tries to force a mandatory on him.
To Siggy- I just think Kell has to grow a fanbase so if he stays active
and keeps winning, By early next year it could eventually turn into a
big fight. Saul also has to remain active this year and beat a top ten WW
at least so people in the US could also know about him. Other than that,
These two guys are the next generation for big money fights.
i recognize that kell has a lot of raw talent, but i already see a lot of serious flaws in his game.
i dont think he'll ever reach his true potential under his current trainer. his defense is pretty terrible and the switch hitting isnt effective.
maybe they'll become money fighters becuz of who's backing them (i have fewer reservations about alvarez), but i'd put a lot of JWWs (with the potential to move up) and WW prospects ahead of brook in terms of potential and skill.
Yeah but he's Ginger, so....
So what?

Kell Brook vs Saul Alvarez in early 2011!
alvarez is already better than brook at 19 y/o. assuming saul doesnt regress or buy into his own hype, he crushes kell.
He took the WBO Int-Continental title from benias.
i swear, these boxing orgs just create belts. let me check how bienias got this title.
oh, he fought the great sven paris for the vacant title.
lol. you gotta wonder how the fck this stuff happens. brook has done absolutely nothing to move up the rankings that quickly.
who has he beaten?
alvarez has a MUCH better resume...as does gomez, abregu, jones, decarie, jackiewicz. shoot, EVERYBODY on that list has a better resume than brook.
wbo = warren's boys only
