    correct me if i'm wrong, but are you implying that Khan is better than Garcia? I like Brook and think he beats Khan, cant make a case for beating Garcia at the moment though

    He will win a world title, if managed well he may defend it a few times, but he is in a strong division with a lot of good boxers. I don't see him much better than everybody else in the division, but there are some great matches to be had. He could beat Garcia.

    Not really the old argument of comparing results doesnt really work, Paulie stopped him in 8 because he is the most feather fisted WW in the world, No way he is Brook top 5 WW he doesnt rank with Mayweather, Bradley, Pacquiao, Maidana, Broner yet

    Senchenko was in danger of being out pointed by a shot to hell, fighting above his best weight Hatton. Paulie out boxed him and stopped him. Brook who is a bigger puncher did it quicker it doesn't tell us much at all. Senchenko was always a relatively safe fight. I think he can challenge for a belt but to say he would beat Garcia who now has wins over khan, zab and matthyese is a bit far fetched even a shot to hell Morrales is better than anything on Kells list of wins

    time for him to make the jump and fight a world class fighter - Senchenko is Euro level at best (and theres nowt wrong with that but we keep hearing how good Kell is)

    Nahhhhhhhhh mate not a chance

    Your forgetting Garcia has improved a lot also from the khan bout. Garcia is levels above khan. Khans fast yeah so what, he's thick as **** and fights like an amateur.

    Garcia by ko/tko all day every day

    How far can he go...the honest answer is we don't know.

    Credit where credit is due, we all knew he would beat Senchenko, but he did it in style so fair play.

    I think he has some good tools and has potential but until he takes on someone a level up from senchenko we don't know.

    Don't think he would. Khan is defensively flawed and although he might last a bit longer, I think he'll get knocked out again by Garcia. We've seen him eat bombs his whole career and while I've always felt it's wrong to label him glass jawed (the punches which have KO'd/shook him have all been monsters), he eats way too many of them and against someone with the timing/power of Garcia, he'll always get KO'd in a similar fashion. Just look at his last fight against Diaz (who's hardly an world class competitor); he was on ***** street several times.... Garcia has proven himself against top opposition; I think we can safely assume he's not "flat footed..."

    Brook needs to step it up and prove himself. Senchenko was a decent win but nothing more. As much as I like him, I think he comes up short against the likes of Alexander/Bradley, losing close but clear decisions. I think he's got a good chance against Broner/Khan so in conclusion, I'd say he's world champion material but not quite p4p.

    Couldn't agree more about your opinion on Khan v Garcia 2 .... Kell brook is very awkward. Khan was caught with a punch when he was square on. Brook will make khan off balance and then knock him down. Still 50/50

    Garcia is a bit like Froch in the way that he does not do anything specail but still pulls off the win. But like Froch when you put him in with a good pure boxer (Ward) like Khan or Brook he will fail unless he lands that big KO punch. I can not see him landing that punch against Brook.

    Just to note i'm not suggesting khan or brook beat Froch haha

    I've been really impressed by Brooks power in the last few fights. I never really thought much about it, always considered him to be a technical fighter who would get most of his wins by outpointing his opponents with his timing. Say what you like about Jones and Senchenko, they were both supposed to have good chins weren't they?

    Brook needs to come to America and get his Chin shattered like Hatton and Khan did.

    I've been impressed with Alexander since stepping up to 147lbs. Khan, Alexander, Garcia - all VERY tough fights for Brook.

    he's definitely one of the best at the weight. he'd beat most out there. but he has to get a move on now. if he takes any longer to get the big fights, i think his time will come and go very quickly.

    he beats Khan.
    he beats Alexander.
    he dominates and outclasses the **** out of Broner. trust me, it's a mismatch. Broner can't fight on the front foot. Brook would counter him all night for a lopsided win.
    Guerrero would be a tough one. could go either way.
    although he's a lot more skilled than Thurman, this is another 50/50 fight.
    he beats Bradley.
    Garcia would be another tough one. but he's at 140 for now, so that probably won't happen.
    Floyd is far too good and experienced for Kell right now.

    so all in all, he's not doing too bad. but he has to get the fights first. and we know how hard that is proving to be.

    well the Yanks aren't going to come to the UK are they? they're all Bitches. :yep

    the Brits get lots of wins when traveling. the Yanks though, get their **** pushed in.

    so it's best to leave the travelling to the men, hey. :good
