JoJo Dan? Kevin Bizier? Robles? Frankie Gavin? Some sort of sick joke...His resume is nothing near what it should or could have been. Don't think he can make 147 again...will probably arrange some CW with Khan for his next fight...or plenty of fights at 154. Canelo fight would be interesting. Canelo doesn't come forward and likes to sit back and box think Brook could do ok there. Defintly expect Khan Brook or Canelo Brook in summer 2017. Not sure Canelo will want to make 154 again see how he makes weight for Smith. One thing is for sure Brook shouldn't give diva Canelo a single pound over 154 if they make that fight in the future.
Hardly Hearn's fault. Didn't Hearn get him the Porter fight and the Golovkin fight which gave him a world title, money and a lot of exposure and therefore good opportunities for potential fights in the future? Isn't he wealthier, more well known and in a better place in his career now than he was before he signed with Hearn?
Let's hope Kell's eye injury isn't a career ending one like Margarito's. I think that he can rule 154.
Kell should have traveled more. All the money in his division was in America but he refused to travel for the most part.
kell has himself to blame ducked timothy bradley because "going the IBF route" pulled out of the alexander fight because "injured 2 times" pulled out of the chavez fight because of "injury" he's only remained fit for fights against cab drivers for the most part, eddie tried but then brook probably wanted to be protected. it's only when some of the public had enough of being conned then forced brook to take a big fight.
No he refused travel and fight for peanuts. We need to stop this myth that if kell went to the states that the other fighters wouldn't have avoided him.
if he went to the states he would be bigger than he is and more people would of been willing to fight him
Kells has a long history of ducking some great welterweight fights, Maidana, Bradley, Alexander, Chaves and instead he opted to fight Bizer, Jo Jo Dan, Senchenko, Gavin, Jones. He's just ducked another fight in Spence Jr because he wants to now campaign at 154.
This happens all the time with British Fighters - some of the people Calzaghe fought (in front of huge crows in Wales) were beyond terrible. The worse thing is many of these fighters, Brook included, are talented fighters and don't need protecting. But boxing is a dangerous sport - sitting on your home turf earning big paydays with minimal risk to your health is a accepted way of doing business in a sport notorious for having hundreds of broken and destitute former champions that seems like quite a wise career choice.
Peanuts? The PBC were chucking all kinds of money around. Why would a fighter travel over here give up home advantage, have dodgy refs and judges and still get similar money? Brook should have gone to the states like Khan did. Clear as day.
Garcia was offered $3 mil and turned it down. Khan was offers huge money and turned it down. Bradley wasn't ready so soon after the Pacquiao fight.
And now give me an example of just 1 single offer kell got from al haymon to fight one of his fingers on PBC
