    Great move for the bloke, I honestly thought he would get retired by the big guys @ 154
    Kell is a huge 147lber but the likes of Hurd, Charlo and Munguia are so huge and a weight class bigger.

    I still think Kell beats everybody but Spence @ 147. Kell will be an underdog against Crawford and Thurman but I think his physical strength and great boxing ability will give them a hell of a lot of problems. Thurman is inactive and Crawford is a smaller guy.

    Spence is the truth and is a speciman, he runs that division for as long as he wants.
    Crawford was that @ 140, but size matters. He loses a lot moving up in weight.

    "I'm a massive threat. Nobody's ever done that to Rabchenko. He's a respected champion and I destroyed him in two round with ease," Brook told Sky Sports.

    "I feel great a few pounds heavier. It's still new territory. I'm going to get back in the gym, learn again and get comfortable with this weight. I'm going to improve fight after fight.

    "I'm putting the champions on notice. I'm here at 154 pounds and I'm excited.”

    Nice one, Kell.

    Staying at 147lbs confirms that he knows himself he has no real chance at 154lbs.

    His entire career has been smoke and mirrors and if you take Amir Khan out of the picture (and the hate you have for him) then you would be viewing Brook's career with far more criticism.

    I actually like Kell but he’s a size bully. He is a big WW and very, very strong at the weight. The two times he went in with someone naturally and physically bigger and stronger than him he got destroyed. So there’s no chance he’d ever box the big 154lbers.

    He’s only going after Khan because Khan doesn’t hit hard and is easy to KO.

    I sussed Kell out about his “future” months ago:

    The talent gap between 147 and 154 is enormous. Brook should have stayed there.
    Size is overrated anyways.

    But if Brook can make 147 and want's to prove something, then by all means. He is a great addition to 147.

    I wasn’t talking about Khan. I was talking about Brook and Brook alone. I don’t consider anything about what Khan does or hasn’t done when I’m talking about Brook. And why should we?

    What the ****ing hell are you talking about? I’m talking about Brook and Brook alone. What parts of my posts on Kell can you argue against without bringing other fighters like Khan into the equation?

    Charlo and Hurd both called Brook our for title defences. Why didn’t Brook want them after claiming he had them “on notice”? I’ve explained why. He’s a size bully.

    He'll fight Khan next then the winner probably fights Crawford. Either Crawford beats at this point imo.

    147 is more of a money division but I'm disappointed.

    Feel like too much time is being wasted. If his staying at 147 he should go for Porter's title. Porter himself should want to avenge that defeat. Get a title and then see if big unification fights can be made?

    This is the thing, I never said that’s Brook is the only size bully in boxing so I have no idea why you’re pushing that angle.

    No Brook did not look bigger than Spence and that’s what I said in my first post. Two times Brook has gone in with bigger boxers and he’s been badly beaten, almost rendered blind. So why do you think he’s gone back down to 147?

    Nearer top of the food chain and far far more earnings to be made at we
    And I ain't pushing an angle
    Him and porter seemed similar Spence looked big help Garcia looked bigger than usual v porter
    And Thurman looks set at ww

    I'm intrigued if brook runs the gauntlet he s said he wants to

    I’m pretty sure he won’t. He’ll fight Zerafa and then Khan and call it a day. And who can blame him with those surgically repaired eyes? He’s damaged goods.
