    Did you not watch it?
     
  2. The only fights that are acceptable for Kell next time around are:

    Bradley
    Vargas
    Garcia
    Thurman/Porter (although I wouldn't want to see him fight Porter again)

    It's a shame Amir has ducked him for years, but it's time to move on and accept the Bolton quacker has no interest in a career high payday.

    Lamont Peterson was too physically strong for Khan - I wouldn't rule him out though I doubt Kell would worry about people at ringside sporting hats.

    Yes. His last 3 opponents have been unacceptable for a world champ.
     
  5. Peterson is a drugs cheat who doesn't deserve another penny from boxing. I've no interest in seeing that scumbag back in the ring.

    I'm not, but Kell's team are content with fighting lower-tier names.

    Talk all you like about Kell fighting the elite, but If Hearn can make Kell/RG or Berto, then a mandatory, then another lower-tier name whilst STILL talking about the elite, they'll do it.

    Did I f*ck.

    1) Blackwell/CEJ was MUCH more worthy of my time.
    2) I would never buy a SKY PPV.

    Did you watch it/pay for it?
     
  8. Brixton Bomber (now known as BEATDOWNZ) can't afford to pay for a PPV. He's admitted this multiple times.

    Jumping from fighting bums for 2 years to superstars is difficult, especially when you have no following of your own. Garcia and Vargas are exactly the type of fights he can actually get and if he is to wiin them they would increase his profile. Brook's recent opponents have been a joke, and he deserves to be critisised for it, but you are blinded by hate.

    Lower-tier? Hearn said yes to Arum for a Cotto fight.

    You've gone full circle with the mandatory again. You claimed previously that he'd give his belt up so he didn't have to face his mandatory. Keep trolling.

    Brixton Bomber said that Porter would smash Brook and that Gavin would beat him. :rasta:rasta:rasta

    If we follow this belief some have that kell doesn't want to fight any of the big names then are we really saying that kell sits down with Eddie and says that he doesn't want the big money, doesn't want to make sure that his family has a comfortable future etc etc.

    Has no ambition to beat the best. Sorry but I don't buy that one bit.

    Does kell and Eddie deserve some criticism, yes of course they do but they have a clear run on no IBF mandatory for 12 months now. This is the time to judge on where kell's career is going.

    Also people have to take into account that you need other side interested in fighting. Eddie could make Garcia a great offer, if he doesn't want to fight kell then you can't put them blame on brook.

    If they can get Garcia or Vargas for June then that would be fantastic. Win that and you can then setup Bradley or Thurman for winter 2016.

    I reckon he'll get Vargas should be manage to get a unification. Vargas is probably the weakest guy with a belt there although Garcia hasn't looked the same in a while. Still managing to grind out wins though

    Good point...........You only had to see the sh*t Kell beat to get the number one ranking.
