Comments Thread For: Brook Aims To Target Jermell Charlo, Jarrett Hurd, Erislandy Lara

[JRB123]

Not really a good win against Porter. It was a debatable close win. Deserved a rematch but the IBF had other plans and so did Matchroom. Not many people know this but when Porter lost he was immediately removed from the IBF rankings completely, after chasing a rematch, instead of going down to number two. Tell me that isn't su****ious.

Now that is highly questionable as to why the IBF would do that, but I can't put anything past these alphabet organizations

I guess he’s gave up chasing Khan then.

He said it in this interview.....Your supposed to tell the promoter who you WANT.

"I left it to Eddie [Hearn] but I know that we were in talks and everything else, and I know that we were very close with it, but for one thing or another, it didn't happen." -Brook

If anything Brook & khan should both fight each other then retire, the BOTH of them.

To be fair, I think that's the plan both have, Khan building his profile with this game show. Both want the pay day and will be out.

Who has had the better fighting career? I would have to say Khan over Brook though.....

Not sure I understand the ill feeling for Brook although I'm no big fan of his either. But to be fair, he just took two losses to two of the best in their respective divisions. He actually looked good in the Spence fight until he started gassing out and we all know the rest of that tale. Anyways, Khan would be a good comeback fight if they both fight at a reasonable catchweight. Not sure melting down to welter weight is any longer in Brooks future.
Lubin would be another decent fight for Brook in the light middle weight class. I can see a competitive fight with Charlo as well and let's be honest, as good as Charlo appears to be, he did catch Lubin with a lucky shot, and his resume isn't all that stellar either. Charlos two victories over proven gatekeeper/upper tiered type fighters like Rosado and Martisyan (sorry if I misspelled it) were only UD's. Jarrett Hurd (another weak resume) would be a good test although he should probably be fighting full middle or SMW,.... and Lara,...nobody really gives much of a **** about him anyways, but sure why the hell not. He'll just run around the ring like he always does. And remember how Angulo worked him over before his eye injury ended their fight?
And didn't Lara just recently call out Charlo anyways?!?!? Oh wait, they will never fight each other because they are friends,....yeah right there's a good excuse for the both of them to duck that fight.
Whether Brook is name calling or he really wants these fights who knows, buts it's his career to decide how he wants to pursue it.

It's even more su****ious that the IBF, a supposedly respectful organisation, have given no official response as to the reasons behind this move. You don't just throw out the boxer who held your title all of a sudden completely from your rankings because he lost it to the number 2 who was mandatory. You swap their positions. Let business resume.

There's been a lot of su****ious things going on wherever Matchroom is involved.

The IBF stripped Fury for not facing his mandatory in a ridiculous time frame having just won the belt and claiming injury. Guess whose fighter got the shot at winning it? Whereas Kell Brook managed to hide from his mandatory Spence by faking talks of a unification clash with Vargas and then selling his 0 to GGG. Yet he still held the belt.

Look up Hearn lobbying for UKAD to investigate Fury just to free a belt the other belts. Now UKAD have made Fury appear guilty with ZERO reasons given and are completely shìtting themselves going bankrupt if Fury takes it to court.

Never underestimate how much of a snake Hearn, Matchroom and Sky employees are.

Time for Kell to come back strong and show how good he really is. I would love to see him test himself against he likes of a Hurd, Charlo, Trout, Smith etc.

[BM dnobagaV]

Dude only has two eyes....


Unless they face a Ward-type, where his "3rd eye" will get blinded

[Mirus]

Hey Kell Brook! We saw that you are very brave , a true warrior! Please don't fight again! Think about your eye sockets!

[sammybee]

Charlo will decommission Brook's eye socket if he dares to make that fight.

[BoxingIsGreat]

I would believe it when he is in there with them massive guys at 154 (Charlo, Hurd, Lara etc), he would probably fight Ishe Smith.

That's where I gauge Brook's level now. None of that other shit he spews!
