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

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 !

Where was this team when he fought GGG? They thought that was a good idea and didn't advise him against it? This guy is a joke. He's gonna retire in 5 years with his biggest win being a split decision against Porter. And still complaining about Khan not fighting him

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

Yea and I doubt Cotto would fight him so there's no money fights for him there. That must be part of the reason Brook is taking his time, he knows 154 is more comfortable but there really isn't much to offer him at the moment.

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

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

If you don't think he's held the belt hostage fighting nobodies then we have nothing else to discuss. I'm not into leading blind people

He never wanted it with Spence

If his mandatory was Ko Ko Kan, he'd fight him in a heartbeat

I would say 154 is a very attractive division, filled with great fighters, and lots of them! Lara, the Charlo Bros., Andrade, Cotto, Lubin, Hurd, Harrison, and J-Rock! However, you're correct about the fans!

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.

Yep. Full of sharks and they're all lesser names than Spence and the other fighters at 147. He's better off taking that 75/25 split against Spence cuz ain't no paydays for him at 154

The guys you're mentioning are not 'great' fighters. They're good fighters. If they were great people would be watching them or at least talking about them.

Funny thing is the fighters at 154 are unknown

Spence is more known than anyone at 154.

The fact is Brook is only moving up because of Spence, it has nothing to do with the weight. If his opponent was anyone not named Spence, he'd take it in a heartbeat

[Motorcity Cobra]

This is the same team that advised him to fight GGG. Yea, I wouldn't put to much stock into their advice

[thack]

Kell must move up or defend against Spence.Khan dare not fight him that is obvious.Leave Khan be, everyone knows he just wants to fight a nobody and hang around as he does trying to talk himself into a big pay day based on him being knocked cold in his last fight.
