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

[slimPickings]

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

Kell Brook "widely ducked"?????!!!!!
Care to share the names of those who ducked him????

I knew you were joking.

Thanks for confirming it.

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

That earnt him 5m and his trainer likely arranged to throw the towel the moment GGG really asserted his dominance.

I agree Brook is a joke, finds a way to justify facing all his shyt mandatories, moves up in a fight he capitulated in 5 rounds for a career high pay day but can't find it in himself to face another mandatory as his team are advising him against it, if their was 5m on offer I'm sure he wouldn't need anyone's advice the fact Spence would stop Brook in the same manner GGG did he just clearly don't fancy it.

Politics for one. Could never happen.

What are the politics? Who are the players?

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?

No , Kell is really a big welterweight ready for a move up but not big enough at middle.BJS . is of course no Golovkin but is a big solid middleweight with good technique and strong at the weight .I feel Kell would be stopped bust up late on.

Very confused team. On one hand there's this mando obligation at 147, and on the other a lucrative fight they're dying to get at the same weight division. Their stalling tactics is very evident.

Kell can probably beat khan if he is somehow able to make 147 because khan is washed...but i think at this point, Spence and Thurman beat him up. He is freaking huge. Trying to make 147 is dangerous for his health and makes him into a much weaker fighter. He looked good at 160. 154 would probably be perfect for him for the next 2 years.

I think he should as well. At some point, you have to take control of your own career and to be honest, Khan has been dictating Brook's boxing moves for years now. Not only is 154 safer for him because he won't have to cut as much weight (and I don't have to keep hearing him ***** about it), but it allows him to make an identity and name for himself instead of chasing a boxer just for money purposes and holding back his career. Hearn had a really good interview where he discussed Brook and the many options. Most of those options have closed now because he has been chasing Khan. Although I want Brook-Spence to happen and believe that fight is more difficult for him than fighting Khan, I completely understand him dropping the belt and moving forward. Bust a move though. You're wasting other boxers' time while trying to fight a guy who has no interest in taking that loss...

Pathetic from Brook if he avoids Spence.
