    It's about time he started stepping up a little bit of a level I think.

    I have seen most of his fights, he is a classic British hype job, don't belive.

    He's fought good British domestic fighters and looked superb. If he does the same to european and world level fighters i shall be truly impresed though.

    Also, he seems to be ridiculously injury prone.

    Kid Kell has real talent. And could be a force to be reconed with in the future. I would like to see him matched against the top World Class Welterweights.

    I honestly think Kell Brook can be the next big thing, he still has alot to improve (Defence mainly) but he has great reflexes, power, counterpunching, speed not bad, good movement and footwork. BUT. He cannot fall into the trap of fighting at British and Euro level for too long, he could do with stepping up like Khan did (And look at him now) and getting a new trainer to help sort out some defensive skills, and to stop him relying on natural talent so much (Naseem Hamed...) These British promoters need to start getting the fact that giving prospects easy, easy fights, 20 fights into your career is pointless and setting them up for a brutal beatdown when they step up to world level.

    Krzysztof Bienias, Michael Lomax, Stewart Elwell... Come on now Khans only had one more fight and he is a world champ! (and even he has been fed bums)

    Has been a class apart against his domestic opponents. Shame the Jennings fight has had so many problems, it would be a very good measuring stick.

    A good question is...why is Matthew Hatton ducking him? Because he IS ducking him.

    Kell Brook is better than Khan, but he is rediculously inactive and needs to get it together and step it up and hurry up. Great talent tho
