Why did it take Kell Brook 10yrs to fight someone good?

[M Bison]

Kell Brook was only 28 when he first fought a very good fighter, title holder in Shawn Porter. That's not too bad. There are fighters in there mid 30s right now who have never fought a current title holder or beaten anyone from the underdog role (weak division).

I can't think of many legit world champions right now that had to wait 10 years to fight for a world title.
Its a bit obvious that Kell Brook has been handfed the majority of his career, carefully promoted and hyped up but its doesn't excuse going 10 years without fighting someone good in a supposedly strong division.

Well this went well...

Yes indeed fanboys being fanboys are mad and can't stay on topic instead they cry and try to swerve off topic.

Brook was carefully promoted and hyped up by who? He was barely promoted by Frank Warren at all.

I'm not entirely sure, I think he prefers talking about big punchers like Keith Thurman instead of fighting them.
He talked about Thurman then went on to fighting Jo Jo Dan but people pretend that the mandatory couldn't be held off for a fight with Thurman?
I think Kell actually might be a bit chinny, why else would he need to clinch so much against Shawn Porter.

Well he was out on his feet according to Hearn against club fighter Jones n did a little dance against the guy that got his face rearranged by Paulie.

The awkward moment when Khantards question someone else's chin....

I remember watching Vernon Forrest come up and he was a pro for almost a decade before he fought someone who actually had a legitimate chance to beat him and I think it was a full decade on when he finally got the Mosley fights. Some of it is definitely careful matchmaking and protecting the fighter, but I think after awhile you get the top class of guys who need a reason to take a risk against the guy with the big record that they've either never heard of or have heard of but isn't necessarily the biggest name and beating them offers little reward.

Ah well, it could be worse. He could be getting almost KTFO by Jessie "8 KO's" Vargas or folded in half by a washed up Collazo.
