    With Porter beating Alexander, it means the American will have time to have a voluntary before facing Brook.

    Hearn won't want Brook in a risky fight and lose but at the same time, boxing fans are sick of Kell not stepping up and will demand an elite opponent.

    Equally, Hearn will want Kell in the ring rather than sitting on his hands waiting for the shot.

    Awkward situation for Hearn to be honest - he's mentioned sending him to the USA but the TV networks over there will sure demand quality opposition?

    This is totally up to Shawn Porter. Hearn said the winner will be forced into a mandatory within 90 days. I think Brook will beat Shawn Porter in my opinion.

    Brook's options open up if and when he wins a world championship. There would be opportunities against some of the top end fighters. Amir Khan, Marcos Maidana, Paulie maybe even Tim Bradley. There is some top quality fights that could open up for Kell if he can win the world championship.

    He already has won a final eliminator and that's why he is mandatory for IBF. He beat Senchenko.

    Thing is they were scared to put him in with Alexander

    Now Porter comes and destroys Alexander they are probably angry they never fought Alexander

    Kell's record is more padded than Broadmoor.

    I'm not hugely knowledgeable on Brooks career, so just had a look on BoxRec. Perhaps someone can answer this for me?

    On 12/3/2010 he beat Krzysztof Bienias for the WBO inter-continental title.
    This was also a WBO welterweight title eliminator.

    He has had 10 fights since then, and it is coming up to 4 years on.

    Why is he still at eliminator level/not fought for a title?

    Thanks.

    Can't see Eddie sacrificing Brook the way he did the others he sent into world title fights they had no chance in. Not with the way Matchroom's marquee fighters are dropping like flies right now.

    Maidana is the easiest route. If Eddie takes that option I'd be fearful for Brook's safety.

    All Maidana has to do his survive the first few rounds, after than Brook slows down after a really fast start. he can't handle a pressure fight and Maidana would have him backing up on the ropes like Jones did, maidana a million times better than Jones and hits a billion times harder. Chino by KO.

    Maidana has too much will and heart for Brook, he would take his soul.:bbb:bbb:bbb
