Comments Thread For: Kell Brook Rejects Retirement Talk: I'm Ready To Go Again - Show Me The Money!

[SplitSecond]

it doesn’t look like Brook is making 147 ever again. I said around 154, read again. Somewhere closer to 154 like 149/150 seems appropriate given his official weigh in weight for the Khan fight.

Also - it’s Benn chasing Brook and calling him out, if he wants a big scalp and big money (at a very opportune time when Kell is seen to be shot) then he should take the risk and add a couple of lbs to make it a catch weight. Otherwise Kell will end up fighting someone else and becoming their scalp.

Aye, my bad. I agree with you.

oh boy, this is gonna end badly for kell. Wish he realized that the only reason he looked so good was cause amir was completely shot and should have had no business being in the ring that night.

Khan didn't want brook to get the Mayweather fight off his scalp, I'm satisfied with him getting KOd finally. We all knew it'd be this way including Khan

[elfag]

would have been nice to see him go out on a win that settles a long standing rivalry. looks like he will get his face smashed in and go out on an L for the money like most boxers, its his life.

Why are some of your lobbying for Brook vs Benn at 154? Benn is a 147lb’er. And Brook isn’t a 154lber himself. The fight has no business being at 154 except if you’re just trying to give Brook every advantage so he can come in big as sht and Benn potentially bloated. 149-150. Otherwise Brook can fight s 154lber if he thinks he’s a 154lber.

MR is clearly wanting "building " fights for Benn n brook always bn big for 47. Perfect for benn at this stage. Brook can win

Guess Brook is all in. Hope he gets the big payday because he will not win a big fight against tip competition.

[just the facts]

I get the feeling that Brooks career will end badly.

I get the feeling that Brooks career will end badly.

Well, sure he's been stopped, but he's never been KO'd. I think he knows that he isn't at world/elite level anymore, but he is still more than a match for much of the top 10s at 147, for a couple more fights perhaps. He was impressive vs Khan (that probably doesn't mean much), I think he still has enough in the tank against not so heavy handed opponents (for the sake of his eye sockets).

Brook is not done, he looked physically great vs Khan, has a good chin (not so good eye sockets), still has good stamina, and still has pop. I reckon he has a couple more big name fights in him.

Khan was an aged and ruined fighter. It's safe to say that Kell Brook is a gatekeeper at this point of his career. I just cannot see him defeating any of the top ranked contenders at 147 or a 154 lbs. Which is why I said he deserved at least one more big pay day before he can retire for good.

Brook was a skilled good boxer. But with those two fragile collapsible eye sockets that GGG initiated(?), from here on out it’ll be like playing Russian roulette with any clean punch that will eventually land. All the guys that want him now can punch.

The Golovkin & Spence fights turned him into Chocolate Brownie Chinaware. I thought Khan was gonna use range & speed to rapid fire his way at those eyes all night long - to manipulate at least one of em’ so the fight could be stopped prematurely.

Khans mind was clearly elsewhere, thinking about starting a podcast maybe, so that he could do what he clearly likes to do most - talk.
