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

And after Golovkin beats him he'll be done with 160. I see him at 154 with Canelo in the near future

I don't think Brook smells 147 again, if he loses (which lets face it, he will) I see him fighting at 154.

I have a hard time seeing Brook fight at 147 again & if he does & its too quick it could be one of those RJJ/Chris Byrd moves down in weight where Brook loses something in the weight loss. And Hearn's works often with PBC & PBC is loaded at 154 so if Brook comes up short at 160 vs GGG I foresee him getting in play for the Charlo's, J Rock or Lara at 154. And obviously if Brook beats GGG than Brook is in play for a huge fight with Canelo so obviously he's not moving back down at that point.

I don't think Brook being "scared' of or ducking Spence would have anything to do with it as some nutty mfers are suggesting either. You don't move up two weight divisions to fight one of the most avoided guys in the sport if you're scared of or ducking a guy 2 divisions down who's still more potential than proven at the elite level.

It all depends on what type of beating he gets from Golovkin.

Brook took the Golovkin fight on short notice - meaning he didn't have time to bulk up/add muscle mass. He always comes down from a high weight to make 147. If he's healthy after Golovkin, I think he definitely takes the Spence fight. A win over Spence gets him those big money WW fights that he wanted before - Khan, Garcia & Thurman.

Meantime, Spence should try to get another fight. Beating a 41 year old Bundu won't prepare him for the same Brook who beat Porter.

Brook really should have phrased his response better. Right now he just sounds like he knows he's gonna lose and then come back to 147. His response should have been more tactful. Something like...

I don't think he worded it badly.

"I think I will defend my title again but it all depends on what is the biggest fight out there for me," Brook told Nick Parkinson. "I'm not going back just to fight anyone, I want to fight people the fans are excited about.

"I want to be in huge fights. I've become world champion and now I get excited by fighting the best out there, so I will only go the weight where the big fights are. Errol Spence would be a big fight and he's tipped to do great things. There would be big interest in me fighting him in the US and he's my mandatory so that's a fight that could happen. If people want to see that fight, I will do it."

He's saying he thinks (probably the keyword to take away from that remark), but he's looking for the biggest fights which a win over GGG will give him plenty of options to take advantage of. Nothing he's saying here suggests to me he thinks he's going to lose. Now I think he's going to lose & obviously most fans think he is & **** somewhere underneath it all Brook might even be thinking that, but I don't see him saying it here all that much.

Brook has it all worked out.

When he loses to Golovkin = The weight was too much i'm a WW.
If he loses to Spence = I was drained and weak moving back down after fighting at MW.

Absolutely! Ready made excuses AND million dollar paydays. Well played team brooks

That's how I feel when people say Ward went up to 175 to "duck" GGG! You don't go up to fight Kovalev if you're scared of GGG! 154 would be a good place for Brook! Plenty of action, especially with the PBC! Charlo Bros., Lara, J-Rock, and Andrade! Lots to choose from. Only problem is Brook had a lot of choices @ 147, but still fought Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin, and Kevin Bizier! NOT COOL!

Loooooool it's perfect timing.

You need to have all the doubt in the world. He has struggled for a long time making 147 and now that he is allowed for his weight to spike and add more muscle, no way does he make 147 ever again and only a fool would try to under those circumstances because of the health ramifications. 147 is done for him.

You make good points, I guess there is a room for doubt but I will hold on to my belief till he vacates the belt.
