Kell Brook successful surgery hopes to return to ring this year

Not if a doctor says it's fine.

 

Brook's one of my favourite fighters, but for god sake take a rest and break. He doesn't need to fight this year and should have taken longer out after GGG.

I really hope Kell can come back and make something of himself at 154, but the reality is he probably won't ever be able to fight with the same confidence knowing his sight could be at risk everytime he walks into the ring.

If he does come back he needs 1-2 warmup fights at 154 to get his confidence back and then I would like to see him in with the Liam Smith / Williams winner.

The issue Brook is going to have is that the guys holding titles at 154 are absolutely gigantic weight-cutters (Andrade, Charlo, Hurd) who would not look out of place at Light-Heavyweight. Only Lara is similar size to Brook and I personally don't think Brook wins that.

 

One things for sure won't be buying another brook ppv.

 

Although it's the sensible route to take, I don't think Brook will be taking any warm up fights, he will be looking to either win a title at 154 or cash out in a Khan/Pacquiao stadium fight. One more defeat at top level and his reputation is done and I'm sure Eddie is well aware financial opportunities are drying up.

Due to the psychological scars of having two broken eye sockets, I think he's done at the top level - I hope he can prove me wrong.

 

Eddie said there's something massive coming in November, Kell says he's coming back this year...

Khan fighting Nov/Dec he says...

It's Brook V khan come November i reckon...

 

Gutted for brook
I got that real wrong
Not sure what road he takes but the khan fight I would not entertain its meaningless

 

Khan has used many excuses for this fight not to happen. He will have many more excuses ready.

 

I wish Brook lots of luck. He needs to take a couple of tuneup fights before fighting a top fighter................

 

My issue for Brook would be that next time he is up against it in a fight I think he'll take a knee again, I think those last two fights have mentally shattered him

 

Brook was seriously damaged goods after the GGG fight. After the Spence fight even more so.

With that in mind, I think Khan will answer the phone this time...

 

Wonder if he's been playing the long game and the fights vs GGG and Spence were just a lure to get Khan in the ring lol

 

and deliberately lost them, and fabricated the injuries. Paid off doctors to release reports about his broken eye sockets etc...

Makes more sense than his matchmaking since Porter I suppose...
