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

Which is just fine with me. He does say he struggles mightily to make 147. However, if that's you're decision hurry up and give up that belt so the WW division can move forward.

Nobody? So why do I read it on a daily basis?

Who can he fight at 147 for big money other than Khan?
Spence isn't a bigger name than the names at 154 that's for sure.

Who at 154 is a bigger name than Spence? I'm not even including Cotto in the discussion because he's not fighting anybody but a bum until he can get Canelo again. Lara, Jermell/Jermall Charlo, Andrade, Trout, Smith? None of them are bigger than Spence. Spence replays on FS1 gets better ratings than their live fights.

I agree. Can't criticise him for moving up if he can't make the weight healthy. But it should be one or the other. Drop the belt or fight top welterweights.

I guess it's possible that this is an attempt to set up a negotiating position with Khan too. Make the 147 limit an issue rather than a given.

You're not including Cotto why? Charlos, Lara, Jrock, Andrade, Canelo.

Lol of course they are bigger than Spence Don't be absolutely ridiculous.

because they fight on subscription networks smart guy, not on free tv or cable like Spence has.

I have a question for the UK boxing fans. Could Brook beat BJ Saunders @ 160? Would that be a big fight in the UK? Why not make that fight?

Politics for one. Could never happen.

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 wasting you breadth trying to make sense to his choir!
I hope the IBF stands its ground and strip him if he does not defend the belt against his mandatory..Spence.

Brook: The king of facing mandatories except when they are good fighters.

All the guys I named have fought on free TV except Andrade. Lara just fought on free TV this weekend. I'm giving you facts and ratings to prove what I said is true. You "feel" like they're bigger names but they aren't.

If you think Cotto is fighting Brook keep dreaming.
