    Is Kell Brook a duck? Serious question. I have nothing against the guy but he seems reluctant to fight the top dogs in his division. There's always an excuse coming out the mouth of Brook and his promoter Hearns as to why he hasn't fought the top tiers guys. He's been declared the mandatory challenger for the IBF world title nearly a year and a half ago. He pulled out of a championship fight not once, but twice against Alexander. Prior to his fight with Saldivia, he turned down a title shot against a top ten pound-for-pounder in Timothy Bradley.

    If Porter beats Malignaggi, does anyone really believe that Brook will fight him next?

    He's terrified to lose that 0. His business plan all along was to feast on bums, stay undefeated and eventually force a big domestic payday against Khan. He's beaten noone to deserve that payday, glad Khan aint giving it to him

    He should have the bottle to go to America and take the big fights, earn it for himself instead of shamelessly riding Khans coattails hoping he will get thrown a bone

    Real wasted career right now as the guy has skills

    I could be wrong but this is how looks to me too.
    He reminds me of recent Khan - Khan fights weak opponents while hoping to get a Floyd payday whereas Brook fights weak opponents while hoping to get a Khan payday :lol:

    It would likely be the biggest payday of Brooks career so far so yes, it is a Khan payday. Khan is the big name fighter of the two so he'd be the one generating the money. It's also an attempt to cherry pick by Brook because Khan has looked bad in recent fights. Khan may be a duck but he's fought much better opposition than Brook has, so Brook is a much bigger duck.

    He clearly ducked Alexander. And now he could possibly get his comeuppance against the guy who mauled Alexander. Fitting if you ask me.

    He has been pro 10 years now and still didnt step up, you do the math. Bad luck blah blah blah 10 years is more than enough time to step up, cant wait until he does step up and then it will be Cleverly faith.

    He didn't really clearly duck Alexander now. Alexander pulled out once because of injury, and he pulled out once because of injury.

    It could have been a duck, but it ain't clear at all.

    We'll get our answer if he gets in the ring with Porter.

    Yes, it was a clear duck last time out. Brook supposedly pulled out with an injury and then went on and fought less than two months later against Jones. The injury was bullshit.

    Brook definitely turned down a fight with Bradley well over a year ago.

    What has he achieved since then? Not much.

    he can't be called a duck for the injuries he got leading into the Alexander fights. nor can he be called one for not taking the Bradley fight when at a difficult time in his career. there, he needed to get the set up right for training camp after gassing in the first Jones fight. no way he was going to America with Arum asking for options if he won against Bradley.

    but if the Porter fight doesn't come off next, which i think it will, all bets are off. you couldn't defend Kell under those circumstances. you'd have to write him off as a wasted talent whether it was his fault or not.
