Comments Thread For: Hearn Confirms July Return for Brook; Date, Opponent & Site TBA

[TheBigLug]

He did not fight 3 straight champs. He fought GGG and pretty much was forced to fight Spence.

bull****.

His team actually advised him not go back to 147 because the 2 division weight cut was too much but Brook refused and said he isn't vacating his belt and fought Spence.

The same promoter that set him up with GGG and Spence one after the other?

Everyone knows he was trying to work his way out of the Spence fight, delaying it as much as he could until he was pretty much pressured into taking that fight. Spence was a mandatory, no way Brook takes that fight if he didn't have to. Just look at his career.

He was ready and willing to fight any other fighter that was mandatory and had no problem with the weight in order to fight Khan. Brook was trying to fight Khan next before Spence. Regardless doesn't take from the fact that he spent over 10 years fighting Euro bums and his biggest win in a 13+ career is Porter.

He did not fight 3 straight champs. He fought GGG and pretty much was forced to fight Spence. This is after over 10 years of fighting Euro bums. Brits call Wilder bum squad, but fail to mention their own in Brook. This is a guy who was fighting guys with over 100 losses on their records. His biggest win is Porter who reall
y isn't anything special.

Porter is more accomplished than anyone wilder beat tho

[Bronx2245]

Hurd will beat that man down.

I'd love to see it! I think Brook might be a lot better (than what most think) at 154 than he was at 147!

Jarrett Hurd calls out Kell Brook with his world titles on the line
May 17, 2018:

"I was watching a few interviews on YouTube with Kell Brook saying a few things like 'the kid Hurd's not that good', and he'd fight me if there was a belt on the line," Hurd exclusively told Sky Sports.

"Not only does he say he would fight me if there was one belt on the line because I am no good, well I've got three belts. If he wants to show he is up for the challenge, I've got the opportunity for him..."

Trainer Ernesto Rodriguez made it clear he is full of respect for Brook, who beat Sergey Rabchenko with a brutal second-round stoppage in his first fight at super-welterweight.

Brook has said he will become a two-weight world champion and the man behind 'Swift' wants to see him try and prove it.

"No disrespect to Brook, because he's a great fighter, a good champion and it's a great opportunity for the pair to fight," said Rodriguez. "There'll be three belts on the line, so what more can you ask for?

"If he wants to become a second-weight world champion, this is his opportunity to man up. Now it's time to put up, shut up or check out."

I was just gonna say this. If anyone deserves some softer touches, it's Brook

[DougalDylan]

Porter, GGG, Spence in 37 fights

vs

Ortiz in 40

Wilder still worst

His biggest win is Porter who really isn't anything special.

[Blender]

LOL Brook really doesn't want to fight any champ does he?

Now that Sadam Ali lost, Brook doesn't want any.

He should fight Hurd.

He's had soft touches his whole career.
