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

[Dr Rumack]

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.

He was widely ducked in recent years. I agree that he should give the Spence the belt if he won't defend it.

Exactly. This fool is really getting on my nerves with this crap. We all know what he's gonna do, just do it. I had high hopes for Brook when he beat Porter but this fool has done absolutely nothing since but hold a belt hostage fighting nobody.

Hold a belt hostage hahaha,yeah right.Fight "Jessie" Vargas for peanuts.....NO

Fight GGG for big money....**** YES.Boxing is a bidnizz remember

Ducked by who? I can name several fights he had and they didn't happen. Nobody is ducking Brook. What has this guy done to be shot calling and only deserving big fights? Eddie Hearn is the one claiming he was ducked. And if you believe Eddie i'll pull up a video of Eddie saying Spence turned down the fight and then another video of Eddie admitting Spence didn't turn down the fight once he got exposed for lying

[DeLorean]

moving up in weight and getting your face obliterated apparently makes you a star worthy of big money fights.. in Brook's world he must look down on Spence like a nobody because he enjoyed the privilege of getting pummeled by GGG.

he wants the Khan fight but without that strap Khan will abuse him at the negotiations table, that belt is all the leverage he has. .even Khan is telling him to get the Spence obligation out of the way so he won't be stripped.

this guy has been justifying facing subpar opponents at 147 for years with the excuse "Khan won't fight me".

give Spence his damn strap already so he can move on with his career.

[Bronx2245]

Since your dealing with Haymon anyway, just ask for a title shot with Erislandy Lara or Jermall Charlo! Khan is playing Brook for the fool. He wants him to starve down, fight Spence Jr., LOSE, and then he'll say he won't fight him because he lost to Spence Jr. BROOK: LISTEN TO YOUR TEAM!

The thing is 154 is full of sharks so he won't be getting it any easier if he moves there.

It's pretty obvious Brook would be a lot more keen on getting the mandatory out of the way if it was another Jo Jo Dan to tune up for Khan or whoever but Spence being so risky puts the Khan fight in jeopardy. Honestly I think Khan would still rather Brook lose to Spence but he seems a bit more willing than before the Golovkin fight at least.

[Jewish-Reptile]

I'm sure his team are advising him well they didn't have a problem when he was facing Senchenko, Dan, Gavin and Bizier. Now Spence is mandated he's to move up unless he's facing Khan whom he ain't gonna struggle to make weight for !

154 is a very unattractive division. Filled with guys that the even hardcore fans rarely watch who are also difficult to look good against.

[techliam]

Brook moved up to fight the most avoided fighter in boxing, but he's scared of Spence? Get over yourselves

Spence is a nobody at this point. Brook is only doing what most top fighters do. He'll stay in a difficult division (in terms of making weight here) for a money fight, or move up for bigger challenges. I agree he should vacate the belt sooner than later, but this assumption that Spence destroys Brook so Brook is ducking is literally one of the worst assumptions I've come across on here

Kelly Brook was not widely ducked. He was ducked by Khan. That's it.
