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

[Larry the boss]

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.



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

ummm Golovkin??????

Golovkin been champ for like 5 years and has almost 20 title defenses.

Lets look into it shall we?

Kell Brook has been a pro since 2004 and from that time-span he has fought unheard of guys and he almost lost to one of them in Carson Jones, fast forward 10 years from 2004 he then fights a legitimate opponent albeit that he had to clinch him a tonne of times to get the win but he still got the nod good for him!

We should compare this to other fighters when they stepped up and the time-scale it took them to fight a tough opponent or even just to gain that world title -
Amir Khan - Vs. Andriy Kotelnik, 2009, WBA World super lightweight title
Wait required 4 years
Miguel Cotto - Vs. Randall Bailey, 2004, WBO World super lightweight title
Wait required 3 years
Adrien Broner - Vs. Daniel Ponce De Leon, 2011, WBO Inter-Continental super featherweight title
Wait required 3 years

So why did it take Kell so long to fight a decent opponent, he is the special one afterall isn't he?

So now here we are into 2015 and he is fighting yet again... "who the hell are they" type of opponents Ironically get this Frankie Gavin Vs Kell Brook was a PPV fight and the fight with Chaves is a PPV fight how funny is that?

When Rios, Bradley and Thurman fought him they weren't PPV mainevent material but when the special diva fights him it suddenly merits paying to see this mismatch?

The problem for me with Kelly Brook is he blatantly and shamefully ducked Devon Alexander of all people whilst Amir Khan and Porter both stepped up and fought that man who gave Kell Brook nightmares, seriously guys you believe the hype of this guy or not?

My guess, he was on mission, a thug-a-maniac mission. Didn't he get stabbed & Stuff before a fight?? Don't let the name fool you!

ummm Golovkin??????

It took him 4/5 years to get a world title, taking a world title doesn't necessarily put you in a position to do what Kell Brook choose to do for 10 years.
If anything having a world title puts you in a firing line for better opposition to come and get, proof in the pudding look how the WBC are forcing Wilder to fight Povetkin Its got everything to do with how much someone wants that title off you.

how do you win 2 titles without fighting a current champion?

[M Bison]

how do you win 2 titles without fighting a current champion?

How do you remain a champion several years without anyone ever coming close to beating you?
He has the belts its up to the rest of the guys to come and get them and that's what Danny Jacobs wants to do after he beats Quillin.

You're going off topic though.
