    He has one good close win against Porter. As long as he fights eurobums he will do well.

    Either he is fighting Khan, Crawford, Vargas, Munguia or a sex change.

      Crazy remember Kell Brook as the FACE of Matchroom Boxing

      Agree with the other Comment of a Career being POORLY Managed, look how Shawn Porter career has gone compared to Kell Brook and Kell Brook Beat Shawn Porter. Shawn Porter is currently WBC Champion...while Kell Brook is retiring
      I forgot about that.


      You are correct, he was the face. What a shame.

Then continue fighting to try & get a Khan fight. Has to be one of the most mismanaged careers I've ever seen. He was right on the cusp of becoming a unified champion and could've gotten a Pacquiao fight. But instead he choose to save Eddie's ass. Smh
        I agree with you on this one 100%

          You never cease to amaze me with your ****** comments. Brook took a back seat to aj is true but saying he was used up and tossed aside is plain ******. Who else was he gonna fight after? At the time the ww's were with haymon and they werent even fighting each other so how was brook gonna get a shot at them? He got paid really well for fighting no hopers. He screwed himself over for wanting to fight ggg and spencer after a year layoff and surgery. Lol poorly managed

            Eddie Hearn ruined his career. He had no business being in the ring with GGG in the first place.

            When it comes to Matchmaking, Matchroom is the worst out there and I won't advise any promising boxer to sign with Matchroom.

                Think he has no real interest in boxing anymore.

                It’s been fairly obvious for a couple of years that he was only after the Khan fight payday. He even said himself he can’t get up for any fights other than big ones, so that to me is a man that has no desire to fight on.

                Shame, his career was arguably destroyed by going up to MW then jumping back down 2 weights to fight Spence. Had he stayed at WW, he would’ve been a problem for anybody.

                  Khan jumping for joy now maybe. But brook hadn't fought for a while so he had nothing to train for. Just waiting for khan?
                  Wasn't sustainable.

                    I agree and often i don’t blame promoters, because fighters have to agree to fight.

                    It seemed to me Eddie wanted to have the plaudits for bringing GGG to the UK on PPV that he didn’t wanna lose that opportunity and got a welterweight to step in for Eubank. It was more about Eddie keeping the event alive rather than doing a good job for his fighter. In the build up, Eddie kept talking about how he’s proving that they can attract big names to the UK to fight.

                    I still think had Brook not gone up and taken that beaten, the Brook v Spence fight would’ve been a lot different.
