Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: I am The Best Welterweight on The Planet

[LacedUp]

Of course...
Brook would clinch Khan into submission and then catch him with some of those big punches of his...

.... The irony when someone calls Brook a clincher in relation to Khan.

Brook is the "problem with boxing these days" as you put it. Grab a disregarded alphabet belt, sit around or fight nobodies while demanding fights you haven't realistically earned.

Manny vs Brook, anyone? I think Manny takes his belt! Brits are very arrogant people. Smh.

Manny would dominate him, however it would be a good chance for Brook to display IF he is the real deal a past prime Manny which would still be a good win he should chase this fight before he retires.

Man, I was ready to jump all aboard the Kell Brook Express after Porter....

But he has fought no one since. He is British, he really cant entice any decent comp? When Chaves is the big one you know you are not aiming big

I just realized he is 29!!

What gives UK experts? Why is he fighting Jo Jo Dan? Where are the big fights?

True. Their situations are very similar.

I'm remembering now how the past couple years Kell Brook walked through the top 10 in his division and people started desperately urging him to fight 160 pound champions to cement his ATG status.

Wait that never happened. He fought Jojodan and sent Khan angry postcards.

Sadly Kellys Brooks planet is in the centre of England, with a population of 2 million

Gennady Golovkin won a vacant interim title and has defended it against absolute no hopers for over 5 years. Lets look at his first few defences.

Kassim Ouma (ancient 154lber)
Lajuan Simon
Makoto Fuchigami

I want to see Brook fight someone with a pulse more than once every 29 years before accuse fights out of his league of ducking him, what's wrong with that?

Brook is the "problem with boxing these days" as you put it. Grab a disregarded alphabet belt, sit around or fight nobodies while demanding fights you haven't realistically earned until you're about to be stripped.

It's the new thing. They bypass the "meat" of a boxer's career (working their way to the top of the division) entirely. Thurman is working his way up the old fashioned way, why can't Brook?

Khan has 10x the career Brook does but he doesn't have that sought after "0" because he actually faced tough competition instead of sitting around for 30 years.

How slowly Brook built up his career and Khan ducking him have nothing to do with eachother. The fact is Brook is now a world champion and rated higher than Khan at 147 by everyone. So why not fight him for a massive payday, belt and bragging rights? It would also be the best win in his career.

As for what he's done since getting the belt, Dan was a mandatory and Gavin was a stay busy fight as there were no better options available at the time. Chaves is a solid top 10 guy and as good as if not better than anyone Khan has fought at 147. I'd like him to fight somebody better but again, who's available in the top 10?

You don't have to 'earn' a shot at Khan, who the **** is Khan? He's just another talented fighter in a division of talented fighters, it's not like he's superstar who's separated himself from the others.

It's mind boggling how anyone can defend Khan's actions, have some shame. I'm a Khan guy and would be supporting him against Brook but he's been acting like a mongrel of late and embarrassing himself and his fans.

If Amir Khan said it you'd be here crying and moaning how he could make such a bold claim but because Kell Brook said it you feel the urge to defend?
Hmmmm

No I wouldn't, every top level fighter thinks they're the best. I'm a big Khan fan...

What planet is this kid talking about? Just shut up and get back in the ring.
Fight someone with a pulse and stay busy.
