This fight should only happen for kell if none of the 147 guys Will fight him. Considering hearn also said they have had good discussions with al haymon people I think the Smith fight would be Last resort. Also it's not Eddie Hearn trying to make the fight here. ****** made an offer which must have been crazy low if it was paying kell less then he got for the biezer fight. Kell would destroy Liam Smith anyway.
Frank ****** seems to be moving Liam Williams into position to fight Liam Smith somewhere down the line. Kell Brook and Efdie Hearn should concentrate on getting a world-class Welterweight to fight instead.
Porter is under-rated. He beat Devon Alexander (Khan's standout win at welter) and Broner (despite boiling down in weight). He's the last person to beat Demetrius Andrade and also beat Danny Jacobs in the ams.
Liam Smith went over to America and gave a decent account of himself against both Canelo, who was almost certainly on Clen at the time, and Munguia, who might be a superstar in a year or two. I have no problem with anyone's opinion but you were just very wrong in your statement.
A few years back, I wasn't big on Liam, yeah he had a 'Warren WBO belt' but since those days, I am very confused how anybody could bag the guy? As you stated, he fought well against Canelo and Mungia, on their turf. He beat Liam Williams ( who is a ****ing gun) also beat the **** out of Eggington, who in reality is slightly above domestic in his prime. He's a good fighter, credit where it's due. I would pick him to beat today's version of Brook. Brook in his prime would have been way too good but he's looked shite in his last couple of fights.
Interesting looking at the dates on this thread. We are still talking about this as a potential fight. I wonder if Kell regrets not taking it in 2016 / 2017 when it should have been a decent payday against a guy he should have handled, especially when you consider Light Middle is probably his ideal weight. I reckon Smith would roll right over Brook now. In fact I don't reckon Kell would take the fight.
I only just created an account and I was looking at peoples opinions on certain fantasy matchups and I stumbled upon this thread
there is no money in this fight, better to both go and get belts and then meet with or without belts. What will happen is Tesco Joe, will out price his fighter saying this and that and the fight never happen.
