Is Kell Brook the luckiest boxer atm?

The luckiest boxer at the moment, for me, is Deontay Wilder. Fought nothing but tomato cans and an out of shape, gunshy, subdued Stiverne. Honestly, I think he is just a few fights away from an Audley Harrison-style KO.

None of you guys slamming Brook can suggest anything different he could have done, your basically just slamming him for have an undefeated record.
Seen as you've basically made this a Khan thread I might as well give my thoughts on him as well.
Of course Khan has a better record than Brook. He had some real good wins at light-welterweight in Maidana and putting away Judah like he did, but he left the division with unfinished business (Peterson and Garcia) in order to pursue a shot at Mayweather or Pacquiao.
He has basically gone backwards in moving up by lowering his level of opposition. I don't put the blame all on Khan because 147 is littered with former lightweights and light-welters all chasing the same thing as him.
Brook can't hope to achieve what Khan has done at lightweight and light-welter because the guy is a natural 147 pounder, but in terms of the welterweight division, Brook has achieved more than Khan.
The world title alone says that, but if you don't think that holds any value, then that is a shame for boxing.

He'll be facing the top boys within the next 12-18 months and I'm sure you'll be hoping he gets his face caved in, but win or lose he won't be ducking anybody.

He's not making the weight fine, he's struggling at has done for a while.

If Mayweather or Pacquiao come calling then there's those fights too. Or if Khan's balls stop shrinking, that remains a big fight. He'll also have a mandatory against Alexander or Chaves somewhere.
So plenty to look forward to.

Making weight isn't meant to be an easy process, he ain't exactly killing himself like Terrence Crawford was.

He looks like a lightmiddleweight to me as well.Last edited by LacedUp; 07-01-2015, 08:03 AM.
