You can't complain on the 2 mandatory's. You can argue on his stay busy fight vs Gavern....lets just see what happens this year. He wants chicken boy Khan but Khan keeps making excuses and pricing himself out of this one.
Well Hearn was saying when Frankie Gavin was supposed to face Bradley (and the winner of that fight was to face Brook) that he might as well make Gavin/Brook! So Gavin beats Bradley? Hearn has NO FAITH in Kell. That was no stay-busy fight. Just another domestic fight to suit his model.
After fighting guys like Jojo and Bizier he can fight day after, since these two are not good enough to be sparring partners for top guys, thats how bad they are.
With Brook its always lets see this year and next year same talk lol, are any of you deluded clueless Brook fans aware he is pro as long as whole Carl Froch career was, and Froch faced Ward, Kessler, Pascal, Abraham, Dirrell, Bute etc while Brook in 12 years faced 1 i repeat one fighter worth mentioning...atsch
funny thing is im sure nobody would complain if Fredrick Lawson was the mandatory by breaking bizier jaw.
Dan and Bizier aren't that bad. They are solid enough contenders. They just aren't good enough to be trully competitive with the top guys in the WW division.
All mediocre opponents strategically moved into top contender positions, so that a belt holder can have easy title defenses, and keep the belt longer. Porter's dad has a legitimate gripe. Porter lost a fight against Brook that many people thought he won, and gets dropped not down a few spots, but completely out of the rankings so comparative bums, can get title fights, to ensure Brook holds on to that belt a while. What a joke.
then why did/will they figth for a title? dan was terrible against kell, and dan easily killed biz twice!
Dan and Bizier got their titles shots because of boxing politics. Four major world titles dilutes down all the top 15 of each governing body. Kell wants to keep his title as it is a good bargaining chip to get big fights and money so he has to fight his mandatories to keep the belt.
The voluntary defence, Gavin, was better than the 2 mandatories. Lord knows how the IBF were compiling their ratings at the time.
