    Brook has been self-managed for years. He shouldn't blame others.

    The problems been from the start tho even before eddie got involved. They kept him fighting at the same level for far too long. Even when they knew they had a very good fighter on their hands. Brook should have been fast tracked far quicker than he was.

    Even golovkin. It was obvious eddie was over the moon he signed the contract. He makes it out it was brooks decision alone...but hes not really fooling anyone with that....just happy when the money comes in after it regardless of the outcome.

    Well I just think that his own trainer should be telling him not to be getting in the ring with Golovkin.

    Hearn sold that fight to Brook as a win-win but it didn't turn out that way did it?

    Eddie Hearn has now stated his plans for Kell for Dec 2017 and beyond. A
    comeback fight in his hometown in Sheffield in Dec and then hopefully a
    big fight in 2018 against Cotto who makes his long awaited comeback in
    Aug against Kamegi for the vacant WBO 154 title.
    Eddie's plans are very intriguing for Kell. Wonder if Cotto still has the skills
    and punching power to hurt Brook like Golovkin and Spence did ?

    I feel like I'm the only one who believes he'll have a renaissance at 154. He's still only a young lad with quality skills who imo was boiling himself down way too much at his age.

    154 division is full of heavy handed punchers and his face will still be brittle @ 154lbs

    Brook is huge @ 147, but tiny @ 154 next to Andrade, Jermell and Hurd, these guys are 6ft-6ft1, with frames that could easily head to 175 no bother

    I can't see him making it 12 against any world class fighter unless you think a renaissance at 154 is beating Liam Smith??? Even then I doubt it, Smith is pretty rugged and may be too hard for Brook.

    Yeah cant see him taking major scalps at 154. Theres a reason these guys are boiling down to make weight. When its time to move up in the latter years unless your a special talent...its time to start picking your fights carefully. The best part of your careers pretty much over imo. Thats what makes brooks career all the more frustrating. Simply didnt progress him fast enough.

    For me its keep making 147 for the last few fights if its even possible. Maybe get khan to 150. That jump from 147 to 154 is a big one. Different frames on the guys at 154.

    Get Fanny Pac now Eh Day for another PPV - roars Kelly Brook.

    Three Terry O'Connor's in the corner in front of a packed Wombley Stadia - the PPV mugs are ripe to be ripped off again.

    Kell Brook is finished.

    GGG and Spence has forever ruined him.

    Stfu you delusional t w a t
    I want to see khan do any better against ggg or Spence but calling them out would take balls khan talks about theses balls alot but as his balls took on bigger challenges than brooks you know your awnser
    Algeri ain't balls
    Niether is callazo
    Or diaz or Garcia
    Or Paulie or presscott or st Clair or most of his carefully directed career
    I'm am sick of khan and fans bang on about lucky punches its fhooking boxing
    It's nearly time for his fans to dissappear for a decade or so till the next great hope

    I think Kell waved his true potential goodbye when he found his pen to sign for the GGG fight. But I'd still like to see what he can do at 154. And I don't think even Hearn would have the temerity to get him back on PPV any time soon.

    Make no bones about it, Brook is exceptionally skilled. One of the most skilled fighters we have in the UK. And 154 is surely his most natural weight class.

    I was chatting to a guy at the weekend who knows the team at Sheffield Uni. He was saying Kell has always been in the top brackets when being put through fitness and strength testing. He's a gifted athlete, and while I don't think he will ever hit the heights he might have done, it's very possible he could achieve something at 154.
