    How would he fare there?

    Brook is easily the biggest Welter in the division, he's had problems making the weight at 147, and he's stated that he'll go up one day.

    But how would he fare there? Pick up a belt or not get one at all?

    The division is fairly weak at the moment so i think he would be okay, he would probably struggle with Lara and Andrade but i think he could quite capably beat anyone else at the minute.

    Picking up a belt shouldn't really be a problem, it's a division lacking depth. I think Lara probably beats him but that fight would never happen.

    I think if Brook loses his size and strength advantage it hurts him a bit. I would pick Andrade and Lara over him for sure, as well as Canelo if he ever makes 154 again. And even JRock probably beats him.

    Super Welter (148-154) isn't very strong. The top dogs are fighting at Junior Middleweight (155-157) :yep

    I think Brook would have at least a 50/50 chance at weight v any of them, and i really believe his timing and movement would beat Canelo in a close greatly contested fight.

    as much as i like kell brook he wouldnt beat canelo at 154. canelos timing is also one of his best attributes that is probably better than kells also canelo would have the size advantages too.

    He's a big welter.. maybe he could do 154 & 160 like Cotto.

    Has he always been at 147? Maybe then..

    you could not see a better specimen of a 147lb boxer than Brook....Although he likes the cakes i dont see any reason to move up until he clears up the WW division..

    saying that id love to see Brook v Canelo

    Yeah Canelo would make Brook A LOT of money if he was to move up.

    Lara should be avoided like the plague.
