Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: I'll Make a Major Statement on Chaves

[LacedUp]

Shawn Porter, the guy who LOST the IBF belt is coming off a W against Adrien Broner and is in serious talks to face Thurman or Khan in the fall.

Kell Brook, the guy who WON the IBF belt is coming off a W against a dude named "franke gavin" and is going to fight diego chaves next.

Something is not adding up here guys!...Shawn, you the real champ!

Porter fighting Khan? Good luck.

how the *** is Porter the real champ when he got outclassed?

I always root for the underdog anyway. There's nothing you can do about people coming up with such fights when there are clearly better alternatives.

All we can do now is to hope Chaves lives up to expectations, that is make it as dirty as hell with this fellow clincher of his. Give Brook a taste of his own medicine.

Kell Brook beating Diego Chaves is not a "major statement" by any stretch of the imagination. It will be his second credible opponent in his career and if he beats him, it will be a decent victory.

The main issue here is the fact that Eddie Hearn and Brook both ensured the fans that he was getting his mandatory out of the way in Jo Jo dan and Frankie Gavin, so he could be free in the summer to fight in a huge mega fight. Where is this mega fight? Where is Tim Bradley? Marquez? Thurman? Where is the fighter of their caliber that you promised Brook would be fighting?

At the end of the day, if you pause your bias and your hatred of Khan, it's as clear as day that Brook is a protected World Champion, who is only going to fight at home and make comfortable defenses. This will be the trend until Hearn decides to feed him to the wolves and cash out.

Brook IS protected i think thats pretty clear. By stating this, are insinuating that Khan isnt?? Brook has this Chavez fight coming up, hes faced Porter..Khan hasnt been in with this kinda comp since...??? Garcia at 140, right? Lets think about, how tf is Khan even rated at WW? dude was ratef WBC#1 BEFORR he ever had a fight at 147Lbs..Whats up with these 2 Brits seriously? Look at thr fights out there and kook who thryve been facing..SMH

Looks to be an entertaining fight with someone who has power and could cause the upset ....I can't wait to see the clown they wheel in for ole' glass jaw ...Maybe a rematch with that murderess light welterweight puncher Algieri cause a lot had that one very close !

The fans have "clamored" for that rematch, every where Khan goes, everybody asks him "when you gonna rematch Algieri?"

Khan has had multiple statement fights and succeeded in the majority of them. Malinaggi in his home town, Judah in his home town, Maidana, Alexander. Got stopped by Garcia but there is no shame in that and was robbed against a drugged Peterson. Khan has made plenty of statements with impressive performances - Brook just nicked a win from Porter, which was a statement because he won the title in America. Other than that, what other statements has he made??

Well said.

Compared to Brook, Khan in his 3rd defense was main event at Vegas in a foreign country, where he defended his World title beating Maidana at age 24..............Levels.

Who knows what he made against Gavin - It was a routine defense anyway. If he was to go over to the US and fight someone like Algieri on Spike - Do you think he would make more or less than against Gavin on PPV?

Well Brook's main income comes from PPV on Sky - So it would be incredibly ****** to go over to the US and fight on regular HBO for less than that, which he absolutely would.

The demand for Khan in the US is completely different from Brook, so there's nothing to compare. HBO wanted Khan to fight on their network. If HBO really wanted to fork in their pockets, then they would and then he'd obviously go. But they won't, so he won't.

The 200k vs Porter was without Sky money - Regardless, it's clear his future is on Sky PPV, not on HBO or somewhere else. If someone wants to get it, they can - in the UK. If they want to pay him big bucks to go over there, he obviously will.

dfuq are you talking about youtube?

I noticed an account under your real name copy pasted a post from here justifying this match up on a video (audio blog) talking about this fight.
