    Kell Brook is a farce.

    Ducked Cotto and Tim Bradley - FACT
    Was scared as **** to fight Devon Alexander - FACT
    Now he is scared as **** to fight Errol Spence.

    He can easily make weight at 147 for Jo Jo Dan and any other Tomato Can, and the likes of Khan, Pacquiao, etc. But he struggles to make weight and get motivated for Errol Spence Jr.

    Kell Brook should be saying Im gonna fight Errol Spence Jr and win. If I beat him and feel comfortable at the weight, I will unify vs. Thurman/Garcia or Pacquiao. If I don't feel comfortable, I will then move up to 154.

    Instead, Brook is looking for an easy fight against Amir Khan who is coming off a major KO victory, and a major hand operation (7 screws inserted and no crying in the media about it). He wants the superstardom that a Khan victory will give him, to propel him into a Big Money fight against Pacquiao or Cotto.

    Amir Khan is finished as a fighter. He is shot to ****. That knockout against Canelo knocked a good 10 years out of him.

    Kell should pave his own legacy, his own path and fight the best. Not someone who is ranked 8th in the division, a rehabilitating patient and coming off a major loss.

    Fight Errol Spence you Chicken

    He gets respect for beating shawn porter, but just look at his resume. Before Porter he fought no one of note, after he got the title he defended it three times against nobodies (IBF should stop making so many bullshi t mandatories)

    The golovkin fight was a win-win situation for him, so not exactly risky for his career trajectory. (minus the orbital bone lol).

    I can understand why he chases the Khan fight (Big money, easy opponent), but at this point he should just defend against spence.

      How did he duck Bradley? Wasn't he the one trying to make the fight at the end of 2015? I heard Cotto turned down Brook last year.

      He's looking for a big fight at 147, if he fights a lesser draw at 147 you can call it a duck, if not STFU

        I was very disappointed that Brook opted for the big money beatdown rather than fight Khan. ESPN reported yesterday the Khan/Brook fight is dead for now so if he fights Spence or goes to 154 and takes on a real opponent then I think fans should be satisfied.

        Can't really complain that he is looking for a Manny fight since it is winnable and a huge payday.

          The WW that just fought GGG is a farce? lol. Brook is only going to kill himself to go back down to 147 for a money fight. He is not fighting at 147 if it is not with Khan.

          He was already a huge WW and bulking up to 160 I would imagine will make it even more difficult to cut down to 147.

          Spence is dangerous and is unknown and Brook will most likely not be 100% if he cuts down to 147 again. He will only fight at 147 again if it's against Khan. Winnable fight with good money.

            Brook is not a farce so Ima disagree. If you look at brook, he has too much muscle mass. You cant get rid of it that easy. What brook is saying is that is difficult to go through the grind, not eating as much, the runs, the tough training camp to make weight for someone who is not a big name. Spence is the goods but he doesn't bring the money so when u get a 4 mill plus PPV upside, you get accustomed to a new standard, whereas fighting for 1 mill just doesnt seem worth the effort. I know is good money but not for brook apparently. We out here earning 45,000-50,000 a year and these dudes turning down millions. SMH.

              People aren't saying that he shouldn't do whatever it is that you think he should do, their saying he should drop the IBF belt if that is what he wants to do so that Spence can also get on with his career.

                I completely and utterly disagree friend. How on earth can Kell Brook who has:

                - Been a pro for 13 years at welterweight
                - Only has 1 notable win
                - Only wants big money fights based on 1 notable win many years ago
                - Who is down to fight ANY mandatory but an actual threat

                Be a farce? I just don't see it bud, Kell has an exceptional career spanning 13 years in 1 weight class thus far, a thing of beauty mate.

                  Brook legitimately has one top win his WHOLE CAREER LOL. Khan is an absolute pillock who doesn't think before he says things but resume wise, he has fought way better opposition and in general beaten better fighters. Brook has had one excellent win but that's it.

                  Brook is ducking Spence and wants to fight Khan and move up with that payday. Khan is being SMART on this occasion and will only fight if he makes an absolute killing v Brook. He is also the WBC Mandatory as well, so he has the winner of Thurman-Garcia as an option too. Instead of fighting the nonodans of the World, fight Spence, win, negotiate to fight the winner of Thurman-Garcia or move up.
