    I'm not saying Kell would beat Mayweather or Pacquiao but I think his speed and reflexes would give them great problems especially as Mayweather is 35 now and is only naturally going to slow down. As great as Pacquiao is he does come at you in straight lines and does leave himself open to be hit and with Kell's speed and reflexes Kell could have some sucess against Pacquiao.

    Is it me hyping Kell up too much here or do we generally have a superstar in the making?

    Yes. It's going over the top now.

    He beat Matthew Hatton, tone it down.

    Kell beats any man on the planet, and i include Jason Statham, Hulk hogan and Duncan ferguson in this assesment of his ability.

    The guy has some potential but for a boxer that has been pro for 8 years and not faced a live opponent, the hype is ridiculous!

    Yes.


    No because he doesn't have the style or the personality. He didn't really take a risk, and was content to coast to points win against Hatton rather than really trying to get him out of there, which he could've done IMO. His workrate was lazy, and he doesn't have KO power either. That style is not fan friendly.

    Fighters like that can be superstars but they have to have the personality e.g Floyd turning himself into a villain. Kell Brook just seems like a nice family man. Nice guys need to rely on what they do in the ring, and what he does in the ring is fine from a pure boxing point of view, but it's not exciting at all.

    Exactly. He's not young in terms of number of fights, or age (not that 25 is old, but he's not some teenage prodigy either).

    He'd give Manny a few, but will lose.

    he could be a very good top 10 p4p boxer in the future but he has alot of work to do and even when he reaches his potential he would never by good enough to beat mayweather or pac kells good but i see nothing special he gets caught a bit easy hatton was preety slow and doesnt have a big punch and isnt very accurate and i seen him catch kell a few times he seems a bit lazy to me also maybe not lazy but a bit too relaxed he needs to learn when to step it up he should have forced the stoppage at weekend just by overwhelming hatton.

    Isnt the most important thing that Brook accepts his not ready for those two yet. He knows this.

    The 'New Naz' moniker will have casuals flocking to see him fight. As proven by this w/e's viewing figures.

    It's just whether his ability will match up to that.
