Maybe Hearn can find the great Peter Buckley or set up a 4th fight against Ernie Smith for Brook. I doubt if Brook could even handle Carson Jones for a 3rd fight. But yet everyone considered Brook and elite fighter for beating Porter. It wouldn't surprise me if Khan put a beating on Brook. Brook needs to go back to fighting Euro bums with over 50 losses on their record to be considered elite again by delusional UK fans.
Comments Thread For: Kell Brook Still Mulling 'Weight' Decision, Will Return in 2018

He spent his whole career fighting Euro bums one after another. He was bound to step it up sometime. He had his chance to fight Vargas, Rios, Bradley, Alexander, Chavez and refused all those fights to fight bums.Comment
-
He rejected to unify with Vargas because he didn't like the money and ended up getting his face broken in. LOL I guess he thought he was fighting another Euro bum like he was used to fighting the past 1o years.Comment

I know enough about it to be absolutely sure that doing a one and done where you cut less weight is not "yo-yoing".
I know enough about it to say a person who goes back to cutting weight the same he has basically his whole career isn't going to be a noticeably different fighter simply because one fight he weighed more than normal.
I know that both men are about the same size with Spence actually being a bit larger, and that Errol was inactive ALMOST A MONTH LONGER than Kell.
So miss me with that nonsense about what you "know".
Like I said, you obviously have no idea about boxing or the human body if you think your metabolism and recovery don't change after 30, and that moving up 2 weight divisions and then moving back down would have no effect whatsoever.
You come across like a fanboy, desperately trying to overplay Spence's win here, it was a good win but he did not beat Brook at 100%, that's a scientific and boxing history fact. No professional boxer or trainer would advise doing what Brook done, and they didn't, it was him that was too proud to vacate his only world title.
Everyone knew Spence would be a tough fight, as he's world class and in his prime, but lets not try to make out he beat a prime and 147 active fighter here lolComment

Kel looked tremendous against GGG at 160, till his eye socket got broke. I was looking foward to seeing him carry on his career at MW or SWW and it surprised me a lot when he came back so soon to defend his 147 title against Spence.
Clearly, that was a mistake. As you say, he looked like the better man for the first 6 rounds, then gassed dramatically, and I'm sure it was the weight cut that got to him.
When your own team are telling you it's time to move up, you really should listen to them. Kel should have relinquished his WW title and took a whole year off for his face to heal properly.
Boxing history and science are on my side.Comment

Brook got his eye socket broken for the second time in 2 consecutive fights, ffs.Comment

He didn't gas because of a slower metabolism or age.
He gassed because Spence was pounding him downstairs from round 1.
And the same thing would have happened to any fighter who had to absorb that attack no matter what their age.
Kell was in fantastic shape, and if 147 was such a problem he would draw the line about EVER fighting there again, like Cotto did after Pacquiao.
Instead, Kell says "if the opportunity feels right", meaning Khan and any other welter that is a bonanza cash-wise.
Kell is a big welter, but that doesn't mean he does good at jr middle.
And, given what we saw recently out of Charlo and Hurd, and even Lara, I would advise him to stay at 147 if he can still do so safely.
He can beat pretty much anyone but Spence at 147.
He doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell against the best 154 lbers.Comment

I can't understand why people think that this would have no effect whatsoever on his punch resistance or stamina. Either Spence fanboys making trying to make it a better win than it was or they are ******, there's no other option.
