Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: My Team Wants Me To Go To 154 Pounds

Yes. 5.7 million people hadn't turned their TV off before he came on.

Trust me... i knew spence before i knew kell brook.. kell has fought NOBODY, except Shawn porter of which he clinched the whole fight... That belt is the ONLY reason he's even relevant in the US and he knows it, hence the reason he's holding the belt hostage. You must be a uk fan of brook, i get it.. writing is on the wall bro. He don't want that work PERIOD

Spence is the first prospect I know who doesn't have to prove he'll knock someone out.

Lol man you seem to know nothing about boxing lol how can he be a prospect when he's contending for a belt? Lol stop it man.. you're making Kell look even worse

Well he should vacate instead of wasting everybody time. He already messed up the division by taking the GGG fight instead of the Vargas unification. We could be looking at having 2 champs holding four belts and the unification later this year. Instead we have Pacquiao holding a belt hostage fighting Jeff ****ing Horn. Horn is getting a title shot before Spence, smh. He's wasting everybody's time like he's wasted his whole career. The guy has been fighting for 13 years and has ONE CREDIBLE WIN and has pulled out of every competitive fight in his weigh class except one which was a mandatory for the title. What has this guy done to deserve only big fights? There are no big names at 154 so I don't wanna hear the BS excuse that he's moving up to fight big names.

You are right there are no big names at 154. but it's damn sure tougher fights at 154. Andrade,lara,charlo brothers, but who am I kidding he will only fight cotto,canelo, or smith at 154.

He wont go near the others I named so he is best suited at 147 like you said

I agree with just about everything you say, except maybe the part I highlighted.

Assuming both fighters have anything left after their last "cash out " fights, I strongly believe Khan v Brook is an even fight.

In fact I'll go so far as to say I'll put my money on Khan to beat Brook. Brook is as overrated as Khan is underrated.

Unfortunately, we may never find out.

Fair. I do think Brook is grossly over-rated, but I think he beats Khan. His chin will fail him. Brook is a big WW. Khan has moved up 2 divisions to be at 147 and his frame doesn't hold nearly as much weight as Brook. Eventually, that will catch up to him in the fight. With that being said, Khan is pretty good, but he's not magnificent. His last relevant win was against Maidana over 5 years ago. He hasn't avenged his loss to Garcia and he had a poor showing against Algieri. Khan has definitely accomplished more than Brook, but given his size and Khan's chin, I lean Brook. I don't really care if the fight happens or not, but I know the UK has been begging for this fight for years. I hope they get it.

Good points especially the size advantage Brook will bring to the table and Khan's suspect chin.

Algieri is a lot better than given credit.Certainly better than Jo Jo Dan or Kevin Bizier.

Until I see Brook in the ring with another quality WW, he is going to remain overrated in my book. Khan will be a good start. A fight we may never see.
