    Can't be, surely he will need 3 final eliminators for the IBO title.

    Agree with all of this,except I think a case could be made for Matt being Kells BEST win.Seriously think he could beat Carson Jones,unless he's gone back.Good fight as well.

    Spot on. Honestly I cannot remember a prospect who has fought such a poor standard of opponents and been moved so slowly in his career. Like you said, he has been pro for over 8 ****ing years. We used to rant about how slowly Hatton was progressed and I truly think he wasted a couple of prime years.

    But it was nothing compared to Brook. It is a total farce that in all likelihood he will get to around the 9 year mark as an unbeaten, much vaunted fighter with Carson Jones as the best scalp on his record.

    Like someone said on here, if Brook was still with Frank he'd have fought someone like Ortiz or Berto for a World Title. He also wouldn't have been allowed to duck Tim Bradley.

    His career is a joke.

    To be fair, you'd think Khan would be the one who'd be forgiven for taking on soft touches seeing as though he has been a multiple world champion, and is currently recovering from two back-to-back losses. Yet he's been shitted on for facing Molina and Diaz - the latter ending up being not as bad as everyone made out.

    I don't mind Brook taking on a soft touch due to his inactivity. But you'd expect those same people that have been harsh on Khan, to be harsh on Brook - who's level of competition has been atrocious given his reputation and ability.

    We will all die of old age before Kell Brooks career gets interesting. It has been a total joke so far given his reputation and touted prospects.
    The pure fact he is still considered a prospect at 27 years old and 9 years as a pro, is frankly in need of an urgent investigation into what the **** has actual gone wrong here.

    A fight with Mayweather in the UK would be quite the boost to Brook's career! :lol:

    Kell Brook struggled with Carson Jones. He doesn't massively impress me either.

    I thought this one might happen given he fought Matthew Hatton.
