    What next for the special one?

    If he goes to 147 and doesn't get whooped by Spence he will look like a clown fighting JOJO dan again!!!

    @154 he is simply over matched by any of the top 154lbers, they all batter him in to oblivion

    All of Brooks super fans talk a big game about how he will kill Khan and Khan is ducking him fighting weak comp (which is trash considering Khan's resume is 10000x better than Brook's).
    Why wouldn't Kell get even more stick ducking top comp and waiting for an eay pay day against an easy win in Khan.

    Brook only has a punchers chance against Khan

    Against Spence, Canelo, Charlo's, Lara, Jrock and Andrade he has no chance at all!!!

    I can't wait to see how this guys career play's out post GGG and think it will be very similar to Daniel "NO MAS" Geales tbh

    sadly....he thought he was on to big things because of the "bravery" he displayed

    but yer right....he fights spence and he prob gets worked...he fights any of the top 5 at 154 and prob gets worked

    hope this "big 147 guy that shouldnt even be there' goes back ....gives him a chance at least

    He'd end up like post HW Roy Jones if he tries to make 147 again. He'll be fine @ 154.

    The version that fought Golovkin smokes Spence/Canelo.

    Sound eerily similar to Geale's chances against Cotto???

    Geale was too big and too skillful for Cotto, and Cotto bashed Geale worse than GGG did.

    I know Canelo would do an even better job than GGG did on Brook and think Spence probably does as well

    Brook is a big welterweight, I think he can no longer go back to 147, 154 is the best weight for him.
    He can fight top fighters like Andrade. Canelo?, Lara and be on top.

    Everyone only has a pucher's chance vs Khan. That's not a small thing, though. If Khan had Hagler's chin he would be virtually unbeatable.

    You don't kow ****, you're just guessing. If Brook has some success at 154, maybe wins a title or two, there'll probably be demand for a GGG rematch over in Uk, more so than the demand for a GGG/CEJ fight.

    There's no chance of a rematch. GGG is just too big and strong for Brook.

    moving up up and down skipping weight a weight class isnt A good idea.

    brook will move down to 154, hope fully for his sake his eye is ok .and a tune up after ggg isnt a bad idea.

    maybe vs a ishe smith or sumthing or a vanes. thats not even really a tune up . maybe like a wille nelson would be a better come back / tune up fight.

    then lara, charlos, j rock , trout are there.

    Jojo Dan doesn't have a title @154?

    Maybe he could hope Canelo vacates and he could fight Jojo for a vacant strap!

    I would think he beats Ishe but Vanes and big Willie will eat him up

    Or, he could try to beat a legitimate titlist like he did with Porter. I'd heavily favour him over Jermell Charlo for example. (Not the one that beat Trout, the other)

    147 might be too difficult for him to get down to, and even if it's not, he probably won't want to shed the extra 7 pounds when he can just fight at the 154 pound limit. So I'm thinking he'll vacate the IBF strap and Spence will end up fighting Ponomarev for it. If the Brook/Spence fight ever happens I think it will happen at 154.

    I can't take you remotely seriously James.

    "Brook only has a punchers chance against Khan".

    What are Khan fans seeing that I'm not? Khan is fast but he is not Pernell Whitaker ffs, should we run through the list of fighters that have dropped him? Khan is not the matrix, he is rather easily timed and easily hit and that's why he gets dropped so often.

    Khan has ducked, is ducking and will duck Brook. Brook absolutely ruins Khan and Khan knows it that's why Khan won't take the fight, it would be a career high payday but Khan don't want it. That tells you all you need to know.

    If Brook Vs Khan ever did happen, Khan might well have a quick start, he has done that a few times, Garcia and Canelo are perfect examples but Brook will time him and Khan will be spark out again and no doubt we will get the deluded Khan and his deluded fans talking about how Khan was "dominating" for 6 minutes until a "lucky" punch.

    Khan and his fans are the most delusional people in boxing and that really is saying something.

    As for Brook, he stepped up 13lb to fight the current number 1 middeweight on the planet, threw what he could and took a lot of good shots and was stopped on his feet, Brook stood and had a fight with a fighter many are fearing. Yes Brook lost and was damaged but he wasn't blown away like quite a few thought he would.

    I'm not delusional, I'm not saying off the back of getting beaten up by Golovkin that Brook is the best at 147 or 154 but the fact is, Brook would be a handful for any fighter between 147-154.
