Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: I'm Not Done With 147, I'd Fight Errol Spence!

[Deevel916]

Didn't he say last week that he's done with 147 as he cant or won't be able to make the weight anymore?

[Larry the boss]

Impossible, he cant make 147 anymore right?? right??

At least he's honest about this GGG fight being a money grab.

If he is after money grab he will fight GGG then target the Khan fight as a return from the Golovkin battle... He won't get much stick If he loses to GGG.

Either way, Kell Brook will be selling PPV's after PPV's If he keeps lining up these type of opponents and we can gauge upon how talented Brook really is If he can hold his own a bit against GGG I'd favour him to beat Spence but as things stand right now I don't.

Spence should fight 1or 2 times more & ifKelll gets mugged by GGG that's only going to make it better, and possibly easier 4 Spence ... Spence wins whenever they fight 2 more Pacquiao avoids, + Thurman and Crawford...

Why talk **** he is not going to fight Thurman never and no Pacquiao or even crawford, everybody talking **** for the next 5 years.

Errol Spence is good, but let him win a world title first

That's what I'd think 176lbs dropping down 30lbs or so maybe he was heavier before the 30 day weigh in as well.

Nate Diaz went from 200lbs down to 170lbs and he kept a pretty damn good stamina so maybe it's not impossible but I still imagine it being very difficult.

[My Low Place]

and that is exactly why you havent fought him yet right??

foh brook..hope ggg tags you chin like a cheap suit

[IMDAZED]

I don't know what he's going to do. My guess would be 154 if he loses, **** only knows if he wins. Fair enough, you can read what you like into his statements, but you said 'at least he's honest about it being a money grab' - whereas he doesn't say that it's a money grab at all - in Kells world I'm pretty sure he thinks he's 'daring to be great' ... well .. and rich.

Pretty sure he's taking the biggest money fight out there. And if he thought he would win, his next move wouldn't have anything to do with Spence, it would be Canelo, no question.

This is an example of Brook wanting to believe this but the fact is, he has struggled for years to make 147 and was drained at 147 and by moving up in weight, the reality is he will never make 147 again. Nor should he try. Muscles will atrophy and he would end up dehydrated and this could be seriously detrimental to his health. Dehydration causes the brain to shrink, look it up. Leonard, Jones, Chris Byrd, and many other learned the hard way that you cannot go back down without taking a big risk. Punch resistance goes down and it speeds up the aging process as well. The lowest he should go after the GGG fight is 154 but that could be a risk as well unless he comes into the GGG fight at 156 which means he would gain at least 10 pounds after the weigh in. If he wins, the choice is obvious to stay at 160. I don't think he will win but I sure as hell wouldn't bet my house on GGG......not after all the big upsets over the years. Anything can happen.

It'll be interesting to see how well Kell does against Golovkin if he's planning on fighting Spence next, Golovkin and Spence have a lot of similarities. Both are very sturdy pressure fighters with great skill and and ring IQ, Golovkin is better at range, Spence is better inside, but both cut the ring off well, they're both vicious body punchers, with great accuracy and timing.

Spence would be looking to get inside Brook more so than Golovkin, so Kell could get the better of him if he could stay on the outside and control the range, but against Golovkin, Kell can't do anything on the outside either. The huge size disadvantage obviously doesn't help.

Coming down to 147, from 176, is like asking Spence Jr. to assist him in a suicide! Spence Jr. has a much better skill set than Porter! The only guy Brook could drain down and beat would be Khan!
