Best fights for Kell Brook in 2015?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Barrera was actually ranked higher than Khan at the time...

Marquez is 41 years old and not a natural WW.

It is not a bad fight, just not as appealing as the other three listed by me.

Barrera was just part of the Khan hype train post Prescott.

Prime Barrera would have murdered Khan.

What does that even mean? Khan was a prospect at the time. Literally not saying anything there.

Marquez's last 3 fights have been a KO over Pacquiao, a close disputed loss to Tim Bradley and a dominating win over Mike Alvarado. He's still operating at a good level and is still a huge name.

Barrera was not fighting anywhere near that level when he fought Khan.

Pretty dumb comparison.

Pretty dumb comparison.

Most people would accept that the Barrera fight was made to give Khan some credibility points after Prescott.

And most people would agree that Marquez is well past prime and finds 147 hard to make naturally.

But Diggles is not 'most people' - he is a morally and intellectually superior being to us mere mortals.

Most people have Marquez in their top 10 pound-for-pound fighters currently.

I doubt Barrera would have been in most people's top 100 when he fought Khan.

The comparison doesn't make sense and is just very lazy probably based on the fact that they're both Mexican. That would be typical of you.

Barrera was ranked No1. at the time the fight was made.

Khan was ranked No5.

Khan was ranked No5.

Number 1 of what?

[Sparked_26]

Khan, innit.

Would be a cracking clash of styles.

Number 1 of what?

WBO rankings.

[- Ram Raid -]

Khan isn't fighting Brook until Mayweather and Pacquiao are out of the picture, so we can sideline that one.

I'd like to see him in there with Marquez at this point. He brings a wealth of experience and craft, he's still competing at a high level dispite being in the wane, and he's the biggest name in terms of realistic opponents.

It's a good fight for Kell that would allow him to acclimatise to fighting at the top level.

WBO rankings.

No1 in the WBO rankings? At what weight? Stop speaking ****. He was fighting bums at the time and completely off the radar. Finished at the top level. It was just a name for Khan's resume.

Marquez has been fighting champions or former champions. It's a legit fight for Brook and a win would make him a bigger name globally.

WBO rankings.

After losing to Pac at super FW, MAB fought 25-19-0 Sammy Ventura and 1-7-1 Freudis Rojas (won by DQ). If he was ranked at no.1 for the WBO belt then it was blatant corruption to make it look like Khan had a legit opponent
