Comments Thread For: Hearn: Maidana Would Be a Dream Fight For Kell Brook

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn is sure Sheffield's welterweight starlet Kell Brook is ready for world-title level boxing but will remain careful when selecting his next opponent. The 25-year-old put on a stellar performance on Saturday night to easily outpoint former European champion Matthew Hatton at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield in front of 10,000 adoring fans - and Hearn reflected on a superb night for his company.

That would be a very good fight for Brook, it'd get him some exposure. Slap that on a B.A.D.

Problem is Maidana gets PAID. He's gonna be looking for at least 350, maybe half a mill if they do it in England.

Wtf? Maidana is trash. Go for Alexander or Zaveck or Berto/Ortiz winner.

Them fools gon' have to stump up some serious green to convince Madonna to a) come over to a country he don't want to, and b) have one more fight at a division he's blatantly not comfortable in.

Kelly Brook isn't a big enough star to make that happen. He ain't no Floyd Money Mayweather. Bring that sucka' over here, and try his luck with an Alexander, or a Berto, or an Ortiz. Some real 147 fighters. Not a blown-up, past-prime one. Seems like his gay-ass promoter is intent on having his fighters live off Khan's trail. First they unsuccessfully tried getting Maidana for that punk McCloskey, and now they're doing it for Kelly. Ain't gon' happen, fool.

Marcos heading back to 140.

Don't see this happening. If it did, I could see Brook KO'ing Maidana.

Another come forward fighter with little skill, why doesn't he travel to America and fight Alexander. Thats a proper fight.

Brook wins this as Maidana is trash at 147. Really hope Maidana stay at 140 as he would give anybody a good fight at that weight.

I hate to go as far as to use the word trash, but Maidana is equally as bad at 140, his skill set period is horrible.

His brute strength means more at 140.

Skill set is the same. Yes.

Maidana v Anyone is a good fight, I think he should go back down to 140 though, he dont need to be no stepping stone just yet. Brook should go for Alexander if he wants to make a real name for himself.
