Hearn has totally ruined Brook's career for a quick buck.
There is literally no way in hell Brook will be the same fighter at 147 now.
I would of picked Brook to school Spence before, but after Golovkin/being 170+ spence has to be a massive favourite now..
Hell yeah, I want Brook/Spence.
Making 147 might be hard on Brook, but there's too much money on the table for him to leave just yet. If he beats Spence, he's got big money fights with Pacquiao and Khan staring at him.
If he goes to 154, he's got what? Fight Liam Smith for the vacant WBO title? Canelo and Cotto won't be fighting him, and he likely doesn't want to fight Lara (tough fight/no money).
wheres all the cats that said kell's ducking?! let's see if spence really wants it :boxing:
Nobody scared of Special K

Why is it Spence or bust for Brook? There are a lot of good fighters at WW, what the hell did Spence do? Beat an 80 year old?
He is his mandatory for the IBF title

Spence is his mando and it would be a good fight.
The same can be said of Brook. He has one good MD win against Porter.
Just because he vacates his IBF title doesn't necessarily mean he can no longer campaign at the welterweight division. There other big names out there besides Errol Spence, Jr that he can compete against.
There's Manny Pacquiao, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Adrien Broner, a rematch with Shawn Porter or even a bout with Terrence Bud Crawford once he decides to move up to 147.
Also, there is still the remote possibility of a bout with Canelo Alvarez before he ponders stepping up to challenge Gennady Golovkin for his middleweight crown.
So overall, it would be a very good move for Kell Brook because the welterweight division is stacked with talent at the moment.
Yes he did, dude went on a damn weight lifting program for the Golovkin fight. Losing that weight is gonna kill him.
Nah trust me.There's people on here that believe you can put on 13lbs of lean muscle in two months.It's impossible.He always weighed in at 186 first day of camp and he still does.And he looks pretty solid at that weight too.Hes lifted a lot since before he fought Jones.Hes dead at the weight,but thinks he can chin Khan,and Pac ,the money is too good to turn down.
He didn't put on any muscle,he just didn't strip so much off as he usually does.When he drops below 152 he is pretty dead at the weight though.He do it for Khan or Pac,he ain't gonna do it for Spence.

I read many statements by Brook on boxing scene top headlines saying making 147 pounds was killing him. He said he felt weak all the time and was so hungry he had trouble sleeping. Now he is happy to return to 147. It sure makes all his talk about being so drained at 147 sound like BS. If he fights Spence as he should then I pick Spence to knock Brook out. I was a Brook fan but his constant bragging going into his fight with GGG turned me into an ex fan. Even after his trainer stopped the fight he kept bragging and saying he would have won had the fight not been stopped. The hell he would have won. GGG was a few punches away from knocking him out and that's why his trainer stopped the fight.
That interview was a joke.So was the commentary.That went on like he'd won.He's brave ,but delusional.
I think he could beat everyone at 147 but how the hell is he gonna make 147 after putting on all that muscle? Hopefully he dont end up like Roy Jones after the Ruiz fight.
