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

[Cinci Champ]

tbh he should make the move to 154. ever seen him weigh in at 147 he looks dead. id love see spence brook but if he moves to 154 i totally get it

[PRINCEKOOL]

It's time for him to move up to 154, but he should never play around in the 160 division again! although Kell Brook may have the muscular development to move up in weight, his bone structure is quite un-substantial! it was his bone structure that gave away up against Golovkin, not his physical strength or technical ability.

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.

Have fought and where they fight, isn't the same. Charlos are showtime fighters and have fought there mainly, including last bouts. Andrade the same, Lara has been fighting on showtime and even on HBO PPV vs Canelo - When has Spence EVER in his professional life seen that kind of exposure?

Add to that, they've been around for longer hence more exposure.

Also, Canelo and Cotto are still there and HBO previously said they were interested in the Brook fight.

The simple fact is Brook was having a hard time making 147 when Spence was an amateur and nobody had even heard of him. Suggesting he's in any way ducking Spence is simply a ******ed joke.

Brook is willing to stay at 147 for a €5million+ fight i.e Pacquiao or Khan. Spence isn't the guy to bring any money. In fact, Spence brings absolutely nothing to the table at all.

It makes sense for Brook to move up if he can't guarantee a huge fight at 147.

But I agree if he knows he's not getting a fight, then vacate and move and let's all move on. Maybe Brook and Spence will fight at 154 as it seems like Spence is also big at the weight, although less muscular and more lean than Brook naturally.

Be consistent

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

So in comparison, Brook was a nobody before 16th-August-2014
Therefore the myth of Khan ducking Brook up-to that point is a load of hogwash.

Then again after Brook got stabbed in September the same year, He managed to stay irrelevant for another 07 months and than faced "mandatory" on 28th-March-2015.
Therefore Khan couldn't have ducked him up-till that point either.

So where is the myth comes from that Khan is avoiding Brook for years ??

yep, 154 is best division for brook. No point brook killing himself to make weight for a fight against a no namer (spence). isnt a big enough fight to cut weight for. Khan at 147 would be perhaps. Brooks got plenty of options.

[Bronx2245]

Lara or Charlo are the one's who would show us where he's at , cotto is all but done.

Lara and Charlo are high risk, low reward. Cotto is low risk, high reward, just like Khan, but he wouldn't have to go to 147 for Cotto!

the truth^......

I could understand if Brook had been out here fighting good fighters. Even if he'd fought Vargas & unified. Then I could understand Brook saying I'm done at 147 unless I get the Garcia vs Thurman fight or the Khan fight. Then I could understand him moving up as a unified champ. But this guy has been fighting for 13 YEAR AND HIS BEST WIN IS A SPLIT DECISION AGAINST PORTER!!! He's done nothing to call shots and only fight big money fights. He hasn't earned that. I can't believe people are justifying that BS. He's pulled out of fights with Rios, Chaves, Bradley, Alexander, & Vargas. But he's fought every single mandatory. This dude hasn't earned nothing. He'll go up to 154 and complain he's not getting big fights while canceling fights against guys like Hurd, Lubskin, & Willie Nelson. This guy isn't gonna change. He's gonna retire with his best win being PORTER by SD

[RomanReigns]

Just give up belt and come out and say what we all know if no khan fight u moving up no point in holding this up any longer

This. Just give up the Belt. Let Spence and Porter fight for the vacant title. Don't keep the belt hostage if you aren't defending it.

He can fight the Andrade, Charlo brothers, and Lara at 154.

[thack]

Lara and Charlo are high risk, low reward. Cotto is low risk, high reward, just like Khan, but he wouldn't have to go to 147 for Cotto!

We are beginning to sound like politicians here I'm talking about the fights that I want to see .
