Comments Thread For: Bellew: Kell Brook Needs Big Fight, I'd Like Liam Smith For Him

Brook has never been the same since he got shanked in Tenerife after he made that coke dealer an offer in the hotel
that involved sucking his chocolate brownie balls.

With what Bernard Hopkins has done for years and now Pac-Man, I’m not so sure to say any man is “past it” these days. We all live longer these days and stay fitter longer I guess. Floyd mayweather boxing beautifully until the end.
Kell Brook? It’s a long lay off but it’s too late for the king khunt fight, Khan couldn’t handle losing to kell at anytime of his career. Let’s face it, khan chased big money fights (he thought) with both FMJ and Pac-Man all the while getting knocked all over the gaff before thinking he could beat Crawford only because he thought Crawford didn’t hit the hardest, we all saw how well that went. Lol dull kunt.
Kell however, does need names in the game.

Brook's in danger of being remembered for his 'heroic' beating vs Golovkin rather than taking Shawn Porter's strap. Was doing okay with Spence before he got his face broke so I wouldn't stick the boot in over that.

Thought he was beating Spence at the halfway point, but his stamina seemed to go and Spence began to bully him. Might have had as much to do with dropping down a couple of weights after the GGG fight as the eye bone problems!

Brook-Smith would be kinda interesting to me tbh.

We all know he's not maximised his peak years and now he's flip flopping with even more so-so fights ffs and he sure as hell ain't getting any younger. He's going to be a hard sell unless he's thrown in with someone we've actually heard of. Seems like a bit of a waste to me.

That he is, not quite a Prince Naseem level of waste, but not far off.

Kell Brook is a great fighter. He hurt his body taking on two bigger and stronger fighters in a row - in GGG and Spence (and let's not forget he got in the ring with Porter just prior). Not many people knew what Spence was about at the time that fight was made. I knew Spence was dangerous.....and it showed when he destroyed Brooks eye socket. I applaud Brook for wanting to take on challenges....but he took two bad fights in a row. He should fire his management. They helped destroy his body and career. He'll probably never be the same. And it's unfortunate. He was a great fighter.

Brook fought two bigger stronger guys in a row...are we suppose to erect a statue for two tough fights that he was well compensated for..U guys call him special but he lost his two biggest fights brutally...quit in both fights I might add. What about all the 30 somethings bum he fought in a row..should we applaud him for that too. Brook is a fraud, i 've always said it and it is showing now. He was cornered into the Spence fight, he never wanted it. His promoter took the money for the GGG fight...the only legit fight he made was the Porter fight and he get full credit for that. His true character has showed over and over again with his constant begging Khan for a payday. Khan must be enjoying every minute of torturing this guy. Dude should just retire already.

What exactlly does this mean, "Thought he was beating Spence at the halfway point, but his stamina seemed to go and Spence began to bully him." Quit the dumb commentary, get sick every time I hear this garbage. Boxing is 12 rounds and is a war of attrition at the top level. What Spence did was execute his strategy to perfection, take Brook into deep waters, imposed his will and then apply pressure. Had nothing to do with what Brook couldn't do or his stamina. Brook did all he could in the early rounds and Spence patiently and systematically broke him down after that. The fight was similar to Cotto vs Margarito 1 where Cotto was front running but it was evident Margarito was going to get to him later in the fight

No need to get so angry bro. Not taking any credit away from Spence, he’s a great fighter and as you executed his strategy well against Brook, he can only beat who’s in front of him on any given night. But in my opinion but it wasn’t the best version of Brook, and he’d definitely caused himself some issues dropping weight between fights (really having struggled to make 147 even before going up to middleweight) this affected his stamina and he wasn’t able to fight for 12 rounds as he did against Porter. I don’t think you can ignore that this, combined with the injuries resulting from the GGG fight played a part in the result that night.

Kell took some awful beatings that shortened his boxing career. He’s never been the same. He could just take safe fights like D Garcia, R Garcia, Crawford, Charlo’s, & Tank, and then retire unhurt. Unfortunately, he’s got huevos and will choose very dangerous opponents and get hurt.
