    How do you guys rate him, I'm a bit of a skeptic on him atm, I don't think Senchenko will cause any problems though, his style is tailor made for Brook to look good against. I think Brook will struggle vs good inside fighters, his inside game needs allot of work imo and his stamina is very questionable. People either seem to think Brook will be great or people think he's going to flop against top level fighters, there seems to be no in between with him.

    The special one is my favourite fighter so abit biased of course but i believe he can cut it at the world level.. I also believe becoming a two weight world champion is realistic imo. Welterweight and light middleweight. I believe every fight he has he improves.
    And when it comes to him facing khan, khan will get ko'd in six.

    His best win at the minute is Matthew Hatton, who was a decent European level fighter, so at the minute that is where Brook stands IMO.

    He has to beat better opposition to be seen as World Class. Im a big fan of Kell's but his progress has been very frustrating although mostly caused by injuries which couldn't be helped. I can definately see him picking up a World Title at some point though, if that is to be at Welterweight I think it will have to be in the next year or so as he seems to be outgrowing the division now.

    I'm a Kell Brook fan but he's starting to frustrate me now, he has the talent so hopefully he can kick on after Senchenko.

    If Brook was good enough to cut it at the top level he would have done it by now.

    Carson Jones was battering him on the ropes, it was far too easy for Jones to land shots on him, a better fighter would stop him if they survive the first half of the fight. Brook always looks good early on then fades a bit, especially in the first Jones fight.

    I don't think he handles being pressured very well, he looked lost in the 2nd half of the Carson Jones fight, no disrespect to Jones but there's much better fighters out there. I think he could lose to the heavy hitters of the 147 division. Brook has looked great vs feather fisted opponents as he just walks through them.

    I enjoy his fights though and i wish him well.

    don't rate him at all since he hasn't fought anyone... needs to step it up.... he's taking way too long by taking baby steps..... i expect him to beat senchenko quite easily... so there will be no surprises there nor will that prove anything.... agree with kingko though

    Brook has amazing timing which could take him all the way, i am just not as convinced as i was a year ago that he will get there

    I would like to think he is very good......but as a lot have said he hasn't had a defining fight yet so we just don't know.Would love him to have a stellar career but as a lot of perceptive people have said also time is pressing and timing is all in many careers especially sport.

    I agree I used to think he was a top prospect but his career has arched downwords in the last 18 months not really stepping up his apponants great skills hope they don't get waisted.
