It Is Time To Stop Pretending That Kell Brook Isn't The Most Avoided Man In Boxing

I'm a fair, impartial guy with nothing but the greatest respect for these pugilists who put their neck on the line at least twice a year against some of the toughest handpicked opponents you'll ever lay eyes on, and I generally find the whole notion of these guys 'ducking' one another quite laughable, frankly. But I think it's time to call a spade a spade here and state what we've all been thinking over the last year: Kell Brook is the most ducked, most avoided man in boxing right now. Juan Manuel Marquez - was ready to jump at the chance to fight Porter, showed up in attendance in anticipation of watching Porter make a routine title defence; promptly left as dissapointed as the Porters themselves as young Ezekiel delivers the performance of a lifetime and puts on a boxing clinic. No interest in fighting Kell Brook. Amir Khan - literally scared to death of Kell Brook. When he isn't trying to con people into thinking he's a credible, legitimate opponent for Floyd Mayweather, he's having to justify why he won't fight Kell Brook, despite the financial incentive & the opportunity to win a title against a hated rival on a huge, massive platform. Has been rumored to have literally sharted his pants when stood within a twenty feet radius of Kell Brook at the recent Manchester show last month. Keith Thurman - talks a big game, has spoken about his supposed desire to fight the elite names like Kell Brook, but has been notable by his silence in light of Kell Brook's very recent & public desire to fight him, even willing to travel into his backyard to do the business, proudly flying ol' Union Jack in celebration of yet another victory over hyped-up American. Floyd Mayweather - has not once mentioned fighting Kell Brook, a fellow champion. Such a fight would present a rare opportunity in an era of a multitude of belts to legitimately unify an entire division, yet Mayweather refuses to even entertain the idea. Essentially the equivalent of Ray Leonard refusing to unify against Thomas 'Hitman' Hearns circa 1981. Manny Pacquiao - blatantly ducked Kell Brook while Ezekiel were still a baby and mandatory challenger for Pacquiao's WBO title. It was finally Manny Pacquiao's opportunity to fight a young, slick black fighter of undeniable skill and talent, yet Dappy Pac predictable swerved the much deserving contender. He must have read the comments of featherweight great Naseem Hamed, who had this to say on the matter: "I think it would be an amazing fight between Kell and Pacquiao and I can see him knocking Pacquiao out" Timothy Bradley - I like big Tim. Classy guy, good fighter, heart of a lion. Tim's got a lot of good qualities about him, but his refusal to acknowledge Kell Brook isn't one of them. Worst of all, he's currently negotiating to fight Brandon Rios, a man who literally fled for his life when talks with Brook started to get too real and reality set in for the one they call 'Bum Bum.' Why fight a guy that would have been left a quivering wreck by Kell Brook when you can try and unify the division against a fellow champion? Makes zero sense. Danny Garcia - here's a guy that's been flirting with the idea of properly moving up to the weight on a full time basis for over a year, even participated in a few catchweights while holding his belts at 140 hostage, all so he could avoid any calls or demands for him to fight the top dogs like Kell Brook. Recently found the balls to bring up Ezekiel's name, claims he'd fight him, but outright refused to travel into the defending champion's backyard, thereby giving a built-in excuse as to why he'll avoid the proud mulatto warrior. The reality of the matter is that there is only one man in this division who's actually willing to fight Kell Brook. One man who still knows the meaning of what it is to be a fighter, who still dreams and cares about the significance of being a world champion, who actually dares to be great. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4m_rEpIgAAgaAj.jpg Only a man of this bravery, of this valour, is fit to wear a Welsh rugby jersey. Dude, what planet do you live in?

Then they should come here and fight. The big names do. Tell Kell you can't run the block while only fighting in his backyard. The only notable euro boxers are the ones who do that. This thread is about people ducking Kell. No one is ducking Kell... Son http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/021/757/hi-res-13363eb45df161609478b6601bbac88a_crop_north.jpg?w=630&h=420&q=75 http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/021/728/hi-res-e5061f8d94f2eb3313dcb9ea304b2632_crop_north.jpg?w=630&h=420&q=75 http://www.theboxingobserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Kell-Brook-Manny-Pacquiao.jpg

Son, Europeans will be flat-out dominating the entire sport within the next five to ten years. They're still producing talent while America continues to produce bums and mediocrities.

Amir Khan had Floyd 'Chicken, ***** coward' Gayweather duck him so its obvious Khan is a man who people like to talk about but not fight. I'm sure Mayweather was shaking in his boots over a guy who struggled with Algieri.

avoided? nobody knows who the hell he is he's "that guy porter lost to, did he retire? whats a jojodan?"

yep everyone is ducking him unless they're the same standard of JoJo Dan and Frankie Gavin

It's time to stop pretending that European boxers can be spoke of in the same context as international boxers. And fans of European boxers forget that fighters from Latin America, and (successful) fighters from other countries--come here to fight or fight people in other countries. On this site: Manny Fans are the dumbest and saddest May fans are the biggest fan boys And Euro fight fans are the most delusional Son, Europeans will be flat-out dominating the entire sport within the next five to ten years.

All rubbish, except Khan who blatantly does not want this fight right now.

he has to actually be someone that people duck lol no one ducks him cause he not even a gain for anybody's record. A duck is when you can gain something from beating someone but you dont go after that fight. Their is no gain with a brooks win. Well Khan could have gained a world title and his highest ever purse. What more does he need to "gain" than that? It's funny you say Brook is "avoiding threats" in one thread and then in this thread you say that these threats shouldn't fight Brook because there's nothing to gain. Which is it?

he has to actually be someone that people duck lol no one ducks him cause he not even a gain for anybody's record. A duck is when you can gain something from beating someone but you dont go after that fight. Their is no gain with a brooks win.

Why will you duck someone who is fond of fighting nobodies? Idiotic thread.

Kell Brook is selling his name by talking about bigger fighters than him, Brook is jealous of the success Khan has had in the States and he is more so jealous that he doesn't have anywhere near the same fan base as Khan but sure he can always brag that he has D!cktickler supporting him :lol1:

Amir Khan had Floyd 'Chicken, ***** coward' Gayweather duck him so its obvious Khan is a man who people like to talk about but not fight.

Just Khan...

Also had the Maidana fight, turned that down. Then all those names he had for may 30th turned them all down for Gavin. He never turned down a fight with Maidana. You've just made that up. Khantards are getting desperate now :lol1:

Also had the Maidana fight, turned that down. Then all those names he had for may 30th turned them all down for Gavin. what names did he turn down for Gavin?

He turned down an unsuitable deal. Let's make the fight now that they're both champions and see what's really what. Also had the Maidana fight, turned that down. Then all those names he had for may 30th turned them all down for Gavin.

Brook already openly ducked Bradley . He turned down an unsuitable deal. Let's make the fight now that they're both champions and see what's really what.
