    When has Brook been hit too often? He has been fighting domestic level fighters fair enough, but he hasn't been hit hardly at all.

    Alvarez is very slow but with big power where as Brook has so many more adavantages then Canelo, Kell's speed timing and accuracy are all levels above Alvarez in my opinion, He would land twice as many on magic matt and stop him in the mid rounds imo.

    All against Afrobum type fighters. If he was that good, Warren would have stepped him up sooner

    does not matter any more now for brook.

    But Warren has no problem stepping Cleverly up, Degale up? Sorry but that doesnt sit with me. If Brook was that good he would have stepped up by now. His best win is Jennings which says it all really.

    which is why brook ****ed warren off for matchroom mate.......

    the lad will go far, and now he's with matchroom straight away the level of opposition has stepped up a notch, ok not by a massive margin but its improved over what warren was putting on the table.

    I think your getting me a little wrong. I actually rather like Kell, and i think he beats Matty. But we havent seen anything to suggest he has world class power and he can blow Hatton away while Alverez couldnt.

    I forgot the source but it was said that Warren stuck Brooks Career on the backburner for some time and concentrated on Khan

    i just think that as brook gets to better opposition his performance will improve and so will his need to bang people harder....i think hes got a lot more in reserve than we have seen yet.

    Maybe he will, who knows...... but stopping N'Dou is something that many world class fighters have failed to do, or even come close to doing.

    I'd want 25/1 for a stoppage in Brook's favour.

    N'Dou seems to be everyones stepping stone, I seen the Malignaggi fight at Eastlands, on the Hatton V Lazcano bill. N'dou clearly won the fight but was never going to get the nod seeming as the Hatton fight was as good as signed for Malignaggi. Alvarez did a good job on N'dou so it will be good to see how well Brook does in comparision. Set up a mega bout in the summer Brook V Alvarez (Probably not with the promoters involved though).

    ALverez wouldnt make 150 against Hatton. Like it or not, he is a LMW now it seems. Anyway, Alverez has Rhodes to deal with first :deal
