Is the Kell Brook 'Big Fights' criticism fair?

Explain how a TWELVE YEAR VETERAN hasn't had a significant fight, let alone win in that amount of time?

 

Hearn should have done a better job but if he hadn't gone back to an apartment with a random man he met a few hours earlier he would be in a much better place

 

You do realise that the 3 you have picked all have scheduled fights and Thurman has already pulled out once for his fight with Porter putting it back to July.

 

Absolute pony - 99.99% of the Sky Sports viewers are hacked off with these one sided canfests.

 

Of course it is fair he has had 36 fights and only 1 against a top name.
He will be 30 very soon so should have been fighting Big names over the last 5 years.
I don't think he's scared but I don't think he's pushed the issue enough either. Hearn is desperate to make him PPV to milk more money out us but there is now way Chaves was good enough to be a PPV headline opponent and fighting Gavin was a total waste of time.

 

Beating a world class welterweight world champion like Porter in his own backyard is not a significant fight? Beating Mathew Hatton and Jennigs in British level fights is not significant fights at time they occurred?

 

Keep making excuses.

Extremely difficult? He went to the wire with Porter.

 

Explain why he net fought them or another big name last year or the year before?

Other than Porter, his resume is on par with Wilder's.

 

World class? If Porter gets laid out by Thurman, there goes Kell's best win.

Jesus, do people realise that a few years ago Kell was on course for a TRILOGY with Jones?

He won't go near another top name. It'll be "after this mandatory...".

 

Because he is trying to one-up Khan.

"If you can fight the MW champ, I'll fight the No.2..."

F*ck me you lot are dense.

I will make it a point to bump this thread EVERY SINGLE TIME Kell beats his mandatory and then spins the "After this one, big fight..." spiel.

You lot are gullible.

 

Kell needs to hop on a flight to the states as his career is going nowhere fast here in the UK.

 

You can keep on making excuses, but you will be hard pressed to find a fighter of his experience with a world title belt with such a poor level of opponents. Brook is close to being in the league of his own there. Why are other boxers seem to be able to find decent opponents and Brook struggles? He needs to be forcing the issue now, which I highly doubt he is doing.

 

HBO ask if kell would be interested in fighting cotto. Kell says yes, cotto stalls but hey I guess brook will be blamed for not making that fight happen.

 

I think it's fair. The quality of opposition post Porter has been poor, and Saturday night against Bizier was a one sided mismatch against a man who looked beaten before the first bell.
