    Retire, he’s had a good run. Had a great career. Doesn’t need the likes of Eubank Jr and Benn tarnishing that and getting an undeserved payday for themselves. I’m assuming Kell is financially sound and can just relax, that’s what I think he should do.

    Also what the hell is Eubank doing calling out a guy who is literally 2 weight classes below and is 35 years old? Just embarrassing, guy needs to focus on his own career.

    Although I think Kell should retire on the high of a grudge match win, I think he'd match up well with Danny Garcia. I think it's a 50/50 fight. Kell has a size advantage, and a fluid style could befuddle Swift. On the other hand, Garcia has the durability, and self-belief, to be dangerous for as long as the fight lasts, including long enough to stop Kell. Either way, both fighters should be well compensated for the fight. The winner's resume will receive a good boost too.

    If Kell loses, he should hang them up. Since Danny has less wear and tear, he can "safely" fight a few more times, to pad his bank account.

    he got the bragging rights over Khan, he should quit while he's ahead IMO

    If you watched the actual interview from which that extract has come (as I did), you would see how you've misunderstood.

    The winner of Charlo-Castano this summer in the UK.

    The winner of that one will want an "easy" name opponent ... and if Tony Harrison can beat Charlo, Brook probably has a shot.

    Then Andrade.

    Look to finish his career beating Khan, the Charlo/Castano winner and Andrade.

    All winnable fights.

    Finish strong and go out fighting for titles ... not for bragging rights in the UK.

    How about Keith Thurman as an opponent?

    Winning all the belts at super welter would be a nice capper on a career.

    Moreso than a fight with Conor Benn.

    And he wouldn't have to drain down to welter.

    Castano and Charlo are beatable and don't bang particularly hard.

    Id agree but Brook's more looking to secure a future rather than further legacy

    Retire.. It's too hard to make 147 at his age without losing his punch resistance, and I don't see any point fighting at a higher weight after GGG and Spences headbutt ruined his face.
    Such a shame that poor decisions tainted his full potential, call it a day on a high.

    He should def. retire. Benn and Eubank Jr calling him is shameful.

    Brook's trainer calling out Mayweather is really desperate, I just hope Kell ignores greedy Eddie and avoids Conor Benn
