    Be nice if Brook and Khan just bloody fought each other and retired. Apart from fighting each other, neither have anything to offer the sport.

    He should just retire. Khan has been stringing him along for years. It’s never going to happen Khans ego won’t allow it.

    Quite funny though, isn't it? Brook has been obsessed with that fight whilst Khan has been making millions.

    Whilst this is amusing I don't entirely agree with Robert here. Kell looked atrocious in his last fight but it was one fight. The fight before which was just over a year back he looked really fantastic against Rabchenko.

    I don't think Kell can beat Crawford at all, not in his prime and especially not now, but if the fight was to be made tomorrow I would personally view it as an acceptable fight until Spence-Crawford can be made.

    It would be seen as an OK fight but really Rabchenka is no basis to judge in on. How long did it go? 2 rounds?( and Rabchenka has lost everyfight since) then Kell one timed him. He didn't have to do to much. Zerafa came to give it a go. I didn't realise the cards were so wide and there maybe some truth in him feeling a bit flat for what was a really mundane fight but its up to Kell now. To get a big fight hes going to have to earn it. He's not a huge name, doesn't have a great record and doesn't have a belt.
    For me he needs some sensible match making to have a chance with getting a big fight I just can't see it happening... we are half way through this year and he hasn't fought anyone so if he does get back in the ring he could well be rusty...

    May as well hang em up for me

    The inactivity will be the death Of his career
    eddie really did a number on Kell
    Still did better for him than his old promoter but still never pushed him on after the porter fight
    just a lot of talk

    Yeah its been mentioned many times but after Porter he should have been in a shot of being a unified champ and then on to fight Garcia, Thurman etc.. I think he would have beat Garcia and Thurman could have gone either way.

    Shame really

    Not fighting Vargas when he had a chance to unify ruined Brooks career.

    Vargas priced himself out
    Held him to ransome with the wbo belt I think it was
    Offered a career high payday and he wanted more

    In hindsight probably should have paid it - would probably have earnt more VS Garcia and Thurman than Dan and Bizier and the GGG fight might still have been there

    Nah don't let any man hold you to ransome
    Vargas wanted cash not legacy
    He was handed pac as he was in house and got roughly what he was offered to face brook
    He would have got more from Bob had he had two straps to hand manny

    Awful shame how his career has panned out
    For me a true talent and now sadly a wasted one

    All of which is a euphemism for, "I'm only interested in chasing a huge payday which will come from a fight with Khan."

    Brook seriously needs to let his obsession with Khan go.
