    ill lay my cards on the table and admit i am a fan of Kell Brook the boxer.

    But i personally think he's missed the boat in terms of his world title aspirations.

    Since his injury plagued camp for the Alexander fight he's fought nobody of note and he hasnt looked particularly good , fitness wise.

    Did someone say his next fight is at a catch weight as well? Its no surprise because he looked like a fat **** on Ringside the other week.

    When you compare him to Carl Frampton who was sitting beside him Kell was a disgrace. There's a saying of "stay ready so you dont have to get ready". Thats clearly not Kells mantra

    brook literally had no idea Porter could take a fight then the rematch with alexander ...what if Alexander wins?

    agree with you 2 ,if he aint got a title fight lined up by easter move up because that division is swamped with good boxers with better promoters

    EDIT****

    he has no chance at 154 , i take it back

    This will be a final final final final final final final eliminator for the right to become manatory challange for the IBF the only belt he seems not to have had eliminators for. Kell is a joke i mean my god what a padded record in such a strong division, sick of him waiting in Sheffield for a title fight, Porter doesn't want to fight him because he is a nobody in such a division why would porter want to fight Brook an unproven nobody. Brook needs to get his ass to America fight someone decent! II guarentee his shot will past by again Porter will probably loose the belt or something or go for a unification and so Kell will be skipped how many times has the next fight been the one before the world title i reckon about 6 at least.

    So this is the warning sign.He won't be fighting Porter.This is the precursor to an announcement by Hearn that Kell is moving up to light middle,presumably.These announcements are usually after a fight.I could be wrong,but he hasn't got one yet as far as I can see.Doesnt look too good if thats the case.At least for a title shot.

    I'd like to see him in with someone like paulie malignaggi. Would be a good test.

    At his age he should be in his physical prime, it's a shame to be wasting it.

    Ha! I thought that about BJS and Frankie Gavin aswell....dont like the way alot of fighters put alot of weight on inbetween fights! IMO it's unprofessional and I don't agree about the weight cutting being benficial.

    Again IMO you will be stronger at your natural weight or as near as!

    I agree. Kell Brook has more than done his bit since he went to Hearn by wining all his fights, eliminators and selling out arenas. Now it's Hearns time to do his bit for Kell by delivering him a world title shot in Sheffield.
