    I think brook looks to have decent skills offensively, horrible defence though.

    I want to see him fight someone who actually throws back with power. I very much get the impression that if brook fell behind in a hard, tactical fight then his gameplan would go out the window and he would get desperate, possibly stinking out the joint

    Kell Brook has one of the most padded records I have ever seen. Only 6 of his opponents have winning records, and between them an average KO of around 15%.

    Kell brook seems to have been sucked into his own hype, the next fighter he's dues to face is a light weight who only ever fought once at 140 its pathetic, he'll get taken out by any 1 near world class at his own weight and warren knows it

    Khan eyes Filipino great Pacquiao

    Amir Khan wants to fight the winner of next week's world title clash between Manny Pacquiao and David Diaz if he disposes of Michael Gomez on Saturday.
    Khan, 21, defends his Commonwealth lightweight title in Birmingham on Saturday against Gomez, a former British super-featherweight champion.
    Filipino superstar Pacquiao, one of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters, is challenging for Diaz's WBC belt.
    "Diaz and Pacquiao are great fighters, but I could beat them both," said Khan.
    "I'm fighting in front of a 10,000 sell-out on Saturday night so I think I'm one of the main men in the division.

    I've got a high rating with the WBO [2] and WBC [4] and I feel I'm ready for a world title shot
    Amir Khan
    "And by the end of the year I'm not just going to be one of the main men, I'm going to be number one, everybody's going to be after me.
    "I've got a high rating with the WBO [2] and WBC [4] and I feel I'm ready for a world title shot."
    Pacquiao, who has been mentioned as a possible opponent for Ricky Hatton, is a legend in his home country and has wins over Mexican greats Marco Antonio Barrera [twice], Erik Morales and Juan Manuel Marquez on his record.
    Nate Campbell, holder of the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, is also a target for Khan and promoter Frank Warren has already held talks with the American.
    "I'd love to fight Campbell," said Khan, who is undefeated in 17 fights as a professional.
    "But I can't get too far ahead of myself and I have to do a job on Gomez first on Saturday night."

    606: DEBATE
    Amir Khan faces some tough decisions in the coming months
    BBC Sport's Nabil Hassan
    Saturday's fight promises to be an explosive affair, and Khan's temporary trainer Dean Powell has warned his man not to get involved in a brawl with Gomez, who has predicted a "tear-up".
    Powell said: "Gomez is going to bring a special kind of intensity to the fight. We all know how Michael Gomez likes to fight and we are fully prepared for what he's going to bring.
    "Amir certainly doesn't need to get involved in World War Three with Gomez. But Gomez is going to have a big shock if he thinks he can shove Amir around the way he shoved Alex Arthur around."
    The fight will be Khan's first working with Powell following the former Olympic silver medallist's split with Oliver Harrison last month.
    It is also his last on terrestrial channel ITV and his current contract with Warren also comes to an end after Saturday night.

    The Mike Jones barrage was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in Boxing. He unleashed a ridiculous amount of power punches trying to get his man out of there (50 is no exaggeration), but with such little composure that he missed most of them and I'm not even convinced that the other guy was "staggered" in the first place.

    The consequence of this was that he was so knackered he barely threw another punch for the rest of the fight and got a gift decision!

    Having given him a bit of stick - I've since decided that the barrage was pretty impressive and had he stopped to breathe once he might have done some damage. Also, if he was on a Frank Warren contract, the fight would have definitely been stopped with all those punches, irregardless of how many missed!
