is kell brook the best at 147?

I have no doubt that Kell would of taken a fight with Thurman on the same night as fighting Kahn as an encore...! Not his fault he was avoided for the best part of 3 years so he has done something Thurman would never do, Step 2 weights to prove himself and if he gets £4 mill in the process then kudos to him. He cant loose in this fight even if he gets knocked out, he can however win by impressing in the ring and out of it. Big paydays coming his way for showing guts and good business sense.

 

Brook's resume isn't that much better than Spence, so he's definitely in the discussion. Brook has one good win, the rest are worse than Algieri. If we're basing this on what they've accomplished then Thurman is clearly the best, but if I'm going off the eye-test and resume, none of these guys can say they're the best until they beat each other.

 

He was so avoided, that's why he's the one who pulled out the chaves fight.

 

I don't believe the bulls hit he was avoided. Brook didn't want to leave England and offerening fighters little more than what they would get fighting on the PBC.

All the money at WW is in America. He should have stayed in America after the Porter win but he chose to fight bums in the UK.

Hearn is to blame a bit too, I don't think he wanted to lose another fighter to Haydon.

 

Well at least you sound fairly neutral its good read sound objective opinions free of nationalistic pride and subtle hate of Americans. LOL

 

So is Danny Garcia earning £2m+ fighting on PBC. Why does it matter where the fight is. Reality is the biggest payday for all the 147 fighters outside of Pacquiao is a fight vs kell in England.

Also Garcia was offered the fight in the states and he still turned it down

Oh and please stop this myth that kell should have stayed in America after Porter. He would have been paid peanuts with no guarantee of getting the big fights.

Kell does have to look after his family and future you know.

Regardless if he was in the states He would have still been avoided as the risk is too great with not enough reward.

Oh and he would have still had to fight his mandatories.

But guessing if he went of al haymon, al would have asked him to drop the belt.

 

I don't understand anywhere in my post I say anything of hate to America? In fact I like America. I don't like much that American fighter Amir Kahn if that's what you mean? but not many Brits do support or like him.

 

Right now id have to say brook is the best ww. He would destroy pac at this point. Spence might be the most dangerous ww

 

How so?

 

I think it is debateable who is the best right now at 147. Brook owns a version of the title but really has done nothing since Porter and Porter is his best win.

I think he maybe needs to find a better promoter who can get him fights at 147 instead of being sold down the river to promote the GGG brand in the UK.

 

Yes. And how he looked in doing so.

 

I believe it's Thurman, Brook, Garcia, Bradley, Porter . That's my top 5.
