    I would. Watson would beat him again and it would propel him up and hopefully get him the fights he deserves.

    Well this is interesting I dont think Brook is up to all that and maybe that shows by the way Warren never really spent the money to get an opponent over.

    This is good for Brook and British boxing though Matchroom getting more involved means more competition which in theory should mean a better standard of boxing promotion

    As an unashamed thpecial fanboy, in my opinion yes, he is far better than Watson, Theophane etc..

    I wouldnt fancy any of them last the distance with Kell.

    I know he hasnt convinced everybody but I think he should be fighting a decent yank next.

    "A decent yank" as opposed to one of these '****' domestic fighters?

    I havent called anyone a '****' fighter :nono

    If Kell does fight a domestic opponent next see if the bookies agree with me.

    I actually feel fairly confident Brook isn't going to do much.

    Me too. His power is going to be exposed as illusionary. Then we'll see the defence unravel.

    Yep. His low output will be less accurate against genuinely good opposition, he's not a big puncher and better fighters will time him, like, say, when he pulls back with his chin right up in the air. Or just walk through him.

    I think Watson is sufficiently good enough to beat Brook. If not him, and if Brool really is going to make a step up, Randall Bailey or Alfonso Ginez would suffice, the former would be very intriguing indeed, vulnerable, naturally smaller but terrifyingly dangerous.

    people that walk towards brook will get beat up, kell is a counter-puncher and very accurate his timing is quality, simple as, watson would get a beat down and as for bailey, 5 years ago he would have been a test fro brook.

    5 years ago Bailey would of lit Brook's chin and rocketed it across the ring.
