    Just my opinion of course.

    First of all this is not a dig at Amir Khan, who is a fantastic boxer & has regularly got in there with the best. However can you really blame Kell for holding out for this fight?? It would have been a fight that put British Boxing in the absolute limelight & would have been better than Froch Groves IMO as style wise I couldn't see it being dull (Credit to Khan of course who is never in a bad fight to watch).

    We criticise him for fighting **** opponents & his career has certainly been frustrating to follow with Hearn using him as a cash flow but he has beaten opponents with pure ease upto the fight with Porter and in more impressive fashion than other world class fighters have done. He beat Porter in a tight encounter but Porter clearly belongs at world level and so does Kell. It has reached the stage in his career where he can no longer keep waiting in Sheffield and after he beats Bilzier he will have to look at moving to the states now Khan is fighting Canelo & I think he will.

    Khan clearly isn't scared to get in a ring with him but I do believe he views the fight with the risk outweighing the reward (An opposite reason to him taking the Canelo fight imo) whereas it clearly meant everything to Brook. Now it's gone for the year he has no choice but to start making some progress on the likes of Garcia, Thurman (Or even porter again) but I wouldn't crucify him and Hearn for trying to bring big fights to the UK as opposed to moving to the states all the time as we are British Boxing fans at the end of the day and there's no stage/atmosphere like a british crowd imo.

    The Khan fights not happening for another year clearly and good luck to Amir against Canelo as its a superfight, but lets not write kell off yet, he's our legit world champion at 147 & I think he's going to go and prove that he belongs at the top level over the next 12 months. He now has no choice. It may be the best thing for him.

    Brook needs to stop stalking Amir Khan like Khan needs to stop stalking a retired Mayweather. Those 2 men have obsessions that are unhealthy. Brook needs to start fighting guys with a pulse period. Hearn is good business partners with Al Haymon and Brook could fight any of those guys on PBC or Showtime like Degale is doing now.

    Not going to read the monologue.

    Brook needs to start fighting the elite and nots Hearn's spin jobs.

    He gets a rough ride from the Muslim **** riders on here but the reality is that since well champ he has been out twice with injuries, been forced to fight two mandatories and took the Gavin fight with 7 weeks notice.

    He has chased the Khan fight and Khan has once again ducked him.

    After the Bizier fight the only acceptable opponents for the summer are Thurman/Porter/Bradley/Garcia. Anything else will then cause me to turn on him. But for how he is the victim of bad luck and having a rival that has no desire to face him and get the beating he deserves.

    As for the poster with the comparison of Khan/Floyd and Kell/Khan, well that's just ridiculous. Nobody on this planet outside of Amir fans believe he deserved the Floyd fight and even fewer believed he would win. That's nowhere near the case for a Kell/Khan fight.

    Don't have pity on Brook, they choose to fight tomato cans. There are plenty of tough fights out there for him to take.

    His oppositon is his faule not Hearns, Degale signed with Al and got good money and fight, Brook can do the same but doesnt.
    He is pro for 12 years, thats how long Froch was pro, and REAL fighter Froch faced Ward, Kessler, Abraham, Pascal Taylor Dirrell Bute etc JOKE Brool faced B level Porter and not a single namr worth anything, 12 ****ing years...:tired

    Is it really ducking if you take on a much better and more accomplished fighter?

    In any case, I'm let down by his career but am willing to give benefit of the doubt due to injuries etc. If it isn't a big fighter after Bizier then I'll lose any interest in the Keith Lemon sounding gimp

    There was a voluntary sandwiched between the mandatories. If he had chose a strong opponent for his voluntary then no-one would be complaining
