Kell Brook has to be the most avoided fighter in our era. The guy is IBF champ at 147lbs and nobody wants to fight him. It seems like Vargas will come to the uk and fight Brook for a unification and I'm sure Eddie digging deep in his pockets is sweetening the deal for Vargas. Garcia won't fight brook, neither will Bradley, nor Khan, nor Cotto..... You get my point. Brook dismantled Porter 2 years ago and since then Brook has had nobody call him out. These American fighters have no desire to fight the best
He is being avoided and protected, Hearn was waiting for the Khan payday, now that AJ has blown up his priorities are elsewhere saying Khan should retire now as AJ his new cash cow. He will never get him the big fights as he's not a big enough name to invest millions into to bring over a named US fighter. People complain about Khan being advised badly all the time, but Kells career has been a disaster. World champ, defeated Porter and now is stuck with very little options. Bad management, poor negotiation skills by Hearn alienating Khan as with so many other fighters. He should just move over to the States, make some good money, stay there for a few years building a name and then come back over, he's young enough, or he'll rot in Sheffield and be a Witter 2.0
Jesus Christ, are you for real? Kell has fought ONE decent opponent over a 12-13 year career! How the f*ck is it always someone else's fault but Kell's? I swear if ANY British fighter not named Kell Brook done what he has done they'd get so badly slaughtered for it. Kell ALWAYS gets the benefit of the doubt and it's wrong. How come Kell can't up and leave to the states full time? How come Kell can't just flat-out go public at post-fight interviews with fighters in his division and put it on them live? How come Kell is happy fighting nobodies and just talks about the big names? F*ck him. Hate him, his stupid accent, his level of thickness and his promoter. After Vargas it'll be "We can't get a big name over here, so we're off to 154 to fight Liam Smith as he is a true warrior. £16.95, btw" Historically YOU HAVE TO GO TO AMERICA TO FIGHT A BIG NAME. Kell has done that once in his life. Benn, Khan, even JOE CALZAGHE has done that more times than Kell. Look at how Haye got a fight with Wlad - straight out terrorised him in shopping malls, made bad t-shirts, but look what it got him! Why can't Kell do that? Or at least have some presence in the states by being at ringside for fights or in the arena? Deluded little idiot thinks EVERYONE FROM AROUND THE WORLD is going to come to SHEFFIELD for the weakest title in the division. His reign is no better than Clev's LHW reign, IMHO.
I would love for bb to tell Matt hatton or Michael Jennings thier s hit schenko to for that matter And you had Gavin beating brook gtfoh
Garcia is just as bad as Kell, and Bradley already said he'd fight him. Stop making out like people were avoiding him like the plague, because they're not.
Why would ANY top line American fighter come to Britain ,, Brits can win in America , But with the discgraceful judging and refereeing Britain is renowned for , they woild have to be stupid or being paid a lot more than they make over there
Agreed. People tend to forget that this one fight Brook has had, that fighter was forced to fight Brook or vacate, or he wouldn't have give Brook a fight either. Al Haymon and Bob Arum want nothing to do with Brook.
Hearn said on his latest sky sports interview that they made huge offer to broner to fight in UK. Doubts he will take it. Still looks like it will be Vargas.
