    Well? he is the mandatory and the IBF has STIPULATED Porter cant fight

    anyone until he fights the #1 challenger who is Kell Brook.

    The only way this fight falls through is if Brook pulls a biitch move and

    comes up with some lame excuse about the purse, or he simply refuses

    to travel to the USA AND FIGHT THE CHAMP.

    Will he punk out? there really is no excuse, what is Brook going to do?

    Brook wins this with a huge margin points decision

    You'd have to be extremely British to favor Kell over Porter, but I don't think it will actually be easy for Shawn.
    He wouldn't be able to walk through Brook's shots to easily dispose of him like Paulie, but he'll get to him eventually.

    Knowing Brook's history, I won't be surprised if he does punk out with some bull reason like the op suggests.

    Brook is gonna run for sure if they fight and Porter will smother' him in the ropes
    Well i wonder what happens if Brook counters and lands, but if porter shakes it off
    it'll be a long night for Brook LOL i'm not sold to this Brook-HYPE

    Brook is a lot physically stronger, bigger & punches harder than both Malignaggi & Alexander, too many people on here getting gassed on Porter off those 2 performances but forgetting he drew & got a razor thin decision of a lightweight in his fights prior.
    Also Kell Brook is a draw in the UK & Eddie Hearn is a big promoter who can put on huge shows, so I wouldnt be suprised if the fight took place in the UK.

    Kell Brook is nothing, if he and his team had any belief in him he would have stepped up long time ago(10 years pro fought no one), Porter isnt anything special he has next to no chance vs A level opponents but he will stop Kell Brook, hell Sechenko had him in trouble, Porter will pressure and brake him, I would not be surprised if Brook quits.

    I don't see it happening.

    Brian Rose has nothing to lose so he had no problem getting his Mando shot with Andrande.

    Devon wanted no Alexander and there is no way he wants Porter. He just wants to stay home and thats all he will do cos the champs are not coming over.

    Porter beats Paulie and Alexander both of who no one actually rates highly?

    And now he's a world beater? Hype train as usual

    Brook has the skills, ability and athleticism to trouble anyone, he's just not had the platform to show it yet

    He also has a size advantage over Porter

    I think it has the makings of a bar burner.... Let's hope so

    There are quite a few of those around here Robney.

    We'll learn once and for all about Brook. Whether he takes the fight or not.

    Paulie and Alexander are both way way better than anyone Brook has fought to date

    Kind of ironic. Porter is a hype train, based on 2 wins that far outweigh anything Brook has dared. After being a pro for a decade, mind you.

    But Brook has the skills and such to trouble anyone, had he the platform.

    He's had the platform, he just won't step up. So who is more the hype job?

    I think Brook's pretty good. But I don't think he matches up well with Porter. Porter will make it a rough night, and I doubt Brook will be able to use his athleticism to keep Porter off of him.
