    After brook beats porter ( which in my opinion should and will happen ) do you think he should move to LMW or stay at WW? i want to see him stay at WW for now and take on some of the bigger hitters to see if he really has learnt a lesson on his stamina and fitness, i truly believe brook is an immense talent and whatever division he fights in he will be an absolute machine in. it would be nice too see him win a world tittle in both weights, which is not at all impossible to do for someone with his talent

    I think he would be better at light middle and would be one of the best fighters at that weight. If Brook beats Porter and wins the IBF who is he going to look to fight. There is some great fights for good money at that weight. He is never gonna earn a shot at Mayweather or Pacquaio. But if he wins than Bradley is defiantly a viable option whom I have never rated as highly as some do.

    Juan Manuel Marquez is also viable, Broner if he beats Molina may see Kell as an easy route back to world level whom I think he beats also. I think that Eddie will utilise the title and attempt for a shot at Paulie. As he is a big name here and known by man British fans. If I was Hearn I would put him in with Paulie if he wins the title in Sheffield aim to get a buzz around for Kell with the market. Then maybe look for Broner or Bradley in the states while fishing for the big british fight between him and Amir.

    Which top 154 lber would you back him to beat?
    Canelo, Lara, Cotto, Charlo etc. all stop him
    He would have to wait til a lot of these guys move up to 160 if he wanted to go for a title

    He can start on the eliminator route all over again at a new weight.

    Brook ain't getting a shot at any of them IMO.

    Wonder if Brook loses to Porter it will be a situation like Bellew, where he goes up in weight and only really didn't move up earlier because he has been winning and close to a title shot.

    I dont think that Brook will win a Title at Welterweight, if he does fight Porter for the Title and loses he will move upto Light-Middle and go through that whole Eliminator/Final-Eliminator process again. I personally will only believe that Brook will fight for a World Title when I actually see him in the ring facing his apponent and the bell is about to ring...

    I'm still half expecting him to duck Porter and move up to 154 now sighting weight problems- I hope I'm wrong though.
