Who you got?:boxing:
No that wasn't. He was a former world title contender with 8 losses.
The Ring Magazine had him ranked at #7 before Saturday.
Who's rankings are you going by?
Your own?
If so, what's your Top 10?
Jackiewicz has been a Top 10 ranked WW for a while now.
brook by wide ud decision. He is a very god natural boxer, the guy has a much better defence, while berto eats shots in all his fights you don;t see brook falling for those kind of hits
he would simply outbox berto, if it gets rough, he has the power and speed to hold off berto and possibly ko him
How about Jones or Senchenko?
Paulie and Devon aint happening. (Waste of time).
Jones would be a good test. I personally think Kell would do a job on Senchenko.
Business wise it would make sense to fight Senchenko as he could get a strap and that would then make it easier for him and Berto to get a fight sorted sometime next year.
Devon could be a December fight for Kell if no one else is available. Although i don't think GBP would want Devon getting his 4th straight loss.
I think Brook will stop Berto.

I can see Maliggnagi/Brook happening to raise Brook's profile in the State's.
Brook would make easy work of him though.
Okay...if that's how you have it, then you have a reason to rate Brook highly. I never thought Jackiewicz was gonna be a test to Kell.
Brook needs a fight with a Berto or Ortiz for us to find out what he's really made of.

So he has to fight a guy you consider to be top ten?
What are your rankings?
Why can't a guy with 10 losses or 15 losses be top ten BTW?

I'm gonna go with Berto, even though both of them have their flaws. Personally, I think Brook's speed is average, accuracy is decent at best and he seems to punch from too far out. I'd pick Berto's explosiveness, quicker hands over Brook.
Berto knocks Brook out.
I just watched the Brook fight from Saturday.
Warning sign #1: In the opening round he ate a number of straight rights from a very limited fighter.
Warning sign #2: Every single left hand that Brook threw, the hand came back low. Even worse, there's no head movement after it. It is a glaring deficiency.
Berto has a nasty, nasty counter right. He'll be thumping Brook with impunity every time Kell throws one of those lazy lefts.
Kell Brook looks like he has potential, and he's obviously got the physical tools. Sadly I don't think he'll be able to solve his technical deficiencies before he steps it up a level. Fights like the one on Saturday are not a good indicator for success at world level.
Berto by KO.
I just watched the same fight and you're insane.
He barely got touched in the first two rounds.
Andre Berto is the guy taking shots vs Zaveck.
Brook would thoroughly outbox Berto.
