    Kell has never shown himself capable of taking the high end kind of pressure that the Muffin Man was capable of bringing.

    Honeyghan by stoppage late would be my guess.

    Handled himself well enough against Porter.

    I'm leaning toward Brook by mid-to-late stoppage.

    Honeyghan near his peak smashes brook .All that standing about looking at his opponent wouldn't work with Lloyd .Brook gets stopped or knocked out in about seven rnds .Bad night for Kell

    Honeyghan went 1-2 against some ultra skilled 147ers. Curry was 25-0 near top P4P at the time, Gold medallist Breland was 26-1 and the smooth Starling was 43-4. Go back and watch the Starling fight. Even though Lloyd suffered from a badly swollen face and lost, there is no way Brook could handle the furious pace of the first 6 rounds. The action was fantastic and high skilled.

    Brook, the measured counter puncher would be swarmed and worked over by Honeyghan. Honeyghan was a frantic pressure fighter with light feet and an excellent 1-2 in and out. Despite his aggression his style worked around an educated jab and his conditioning was top notch. On the inside Brook stands rather upright with a high shell guard, Honeyghan would have a field day with him who was very agile and was always worming his upper body to find openings. Terrible match up for Kell. Think of the Spence Jr beating but this one would be much quicker around the 8 or 9th round not the 11th.

    Honeyghan wouldn't mess about here. I don't see Brook having anything to stop Lloyd tbh .Can easily see Honey smashing his way through for a ten round ko.

    This would be like a Barrera vs Hamed fight. The pressure Honeyghan would
    apply would be like a blow torch compared to what Spence applied.
    Honeyghan ko mid rds.

    Could be a gritty fight for a while but, as clever a Boxer as I think Kell could be, he was far too measured/economical with his output. I don't think he could apply the type of pressure required to discourage and overcome a peak Honeyghan.

    Lloyd would be beating Kell to the punch consistently. Not even Brook's sharp counter-punching would be enough.

    With Honeyghan taking the fight to Kell, I think he would soon overwhelm him; probably stopping Brook at around the midway point.

    The Honeyghan that beat Curry gives Brook a very bad beating and stops him within 10.
