    More likely he targets winner of Smith/Ali

    I see him beating both...

    Then a Khan showdown

    Brook is a warrior who will.fight anyone

    That’s in line with his retirement talk. He said he wanted to win a world title and fight Khan and then call it a day. He said he’s not boxing in 2019.

    That was a Kell brook still very down and low on confidence

    Since training with BJS and Jason Quigley, Kell has the mojo back.

    He will do as June will not be a world title fight. Fight in June vs a higher ranked fighter and then maybe a world title fight end of the year. Winning breeds winning and he won't be walking away anytime soon if he reaches the top of the division.

    I hope not. I don’t want to see him call it a day at all.

    All Brook had proven is the he can beat the Porters of boxing but failed to beat the elite.

    For me, Brook had the potential to be the best British fighter since Calzaghe. Things just haven't quite worked out like that for him. It's a shame, but I'll be rooting for him on his farewell tour. I would back him against Charlo. I think he's competitive against anyone at 154. And I hope he KO's Khan.

    Hes got the skill, talent and power for sure, my only worry is can his eye's take any more punishment? His doc claims they are stronger then before, how true this is i don't know, also the psychological effect of worrying about the eyes when big shots land etc.

    Its a shame because i don't think brook achieved his full potential.

    You Brits are bordeline ******ed. Now Brook was beating Spence easily before his eye failed? Lmao! The fight was dead even after 6, then Spence took over. Brook "winning easily" is the fairytale that you limeys are telling yourselves.

    Spence is a better fighter than Brook. Stop making excuse after excuse and get over it.

    Would errol have knocked Rabchenko down in the second round? No, you know darn well that he wouldn't. He'd be down in 6 or 7 rounds. That was outstanding from Brook. And if I recall, what were the scorecards showing at the end of the 7th round in that Spence fight? What do I hear? Oh? He was ahead? Yeah, yeah he was. And no-one could argue otherwise. It just happens that after that seventh round, an eye causes some problems and he loses the rounds after the 7th. Eye injury in 7th, loses rounds after 7th...hmm...I wonder if those are linked....I really do wonder...

    We aren't making excuses, we are stating the clear and obvious FACT that Kell Brook was outboxing spence until the eye injury. Brook hits just as hard as Spence, and is a better boxer and a better mover. Simple.

    Despite incurring illness in the camp leading up to that fight Brook was winning on the score cards and starting to get the better of Spence until his eye went.

    What you have to ask yourself is would Spence had the same success had Brook's eye not gone? Would Spence have had the same success if Brook didn't have double vision?

    If Kell Brook's eyes hold up there is no-one at 147 or 154 who will beat him.

    Spence deserved the win but only because of an extremely lucky set of
    circumstances.

    Kell Brook stops Spence inside the distance at 154.
