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?
