    Who has he beaten?? An overhyped Porter who barely beat Alexander, and who beat a shot Paulie.M. Khan has a chance to fight Floyd and will do everything to get that fight, anything else is secondary. Kell Brook needs to prove that he's recovered from that stab wound, and will be taking cup cake fight next. Khan brings in the more money, Hearn and Brook know this. So Brook is in no position to demand anything.

    Yeah, He's massively over rated but I think that him and Khan to to settle the battle of the Brits first. I don't think that Mayweather is gonna fight Pac and then somebody like Garcia to retire on. I would like to see him fight Thurman or Khan as his last fight.

    Brook is an excellent fighter, if you can't see that you simply have no eye for boxing. Porter was being hailed as the second coming of Mike Tyson before Brook schooled him, funny how people change their tunes

    Well he's fought 30 bums and one clearly extremely over rated fighter in Porter. I can't make my decision on him until he fights a few world level fighters. He went life and death with Carson jones not that long ago and he got rocked heavy vs Senchenko.

    exactly that. he was meant to get kell out in 5rounds tops or it would of been a failure. Brook has the basics down to a tee, great strong jab, good footwork, great timing, good straight punching, tight defence, head movement.

    i found it funny how kell brook was in sky studios and was saying he has done it the hard way?

    was he joking? he has a padded record.... hearn got 31 odd tomato cans, 95% of which came to UK so he wouldn't have to fight out of his comfort zone

    the only fight you have to give him credit for is the porter fight... he did the good that night but other than that he has got nothing on khan

    khan left Britain and moved to USA.. far from family and friends, lost and came back... brook has had the easiest route

    Funny how Porters suddenly become overrated since Kell whooped him. Porter would be a live dog against most of the top ten WWs

    Porter is/was overrated. Barely beat Alexander who just got outclassed by Khan, then beat an old Paulie.M. And it wasn't like Kell won it decisively either. Khan easily wins against Brook in UD.

    There is no such thing as a shot Malignaggi. He's never that good to begin with.

    Styles make fights. I bet Porter kicks the **** out of Khan base on styles.

    It took 5 years to do it, but Brook has proven much of what his doubters (myself included) have said to be wrong... at least for one fight.

    For a lot of Khan's career he has proven much of what his doubters (myself included) have said to be correct... as long as they weren't trolls claiming he was literally a garbage boxer.

    Khan has faced the much superior opposition, not even close, and that much is not even debatable.

    Everyone gets overrated by their fan base. Nothing new here.

    Funny how a controversial decision win over Porter puts Brook on some pedestal. Porter ran out of steam at the end, but I still thought he beat Brook clearly. I need to see Brook get a real win, a clear win, over a name opponent.

    Kell may be slightly overrated but I believe him to a degree, he's far more skilled than a lot of American fans want to give him credit, if Floyd had done what Brook did to Porter he would have been praised endlessly for it, and I picked him to beat Porter who everyone seemed to think was a WW Tyson for a few minutes.:lol: And guess what he's also better than and will KO Khan.

    Nah, he's too slow. Khan boxes around him. He'll be chasing Khan the entire fight. Khan by wide UD.
