    Yeah I agree with you. I just can't see Brook vs Khan not happening. Unfortunately that was a fight that should have happened about 3 years ago and doesn't interest me as much now.

    I would prefer to see Kell focus on his career at his new weight which hopefully will suit him better.

    Spence is the NATURALLY bigger fighter.
    In 2/3 yrs he'll go N to 154 and to 160 in 4/5.
    They'll fight again for sure.
    But both have bigger fish to fry at the moment

    I don't think Hearn should send Kell the Charlo route, he already paid those dues with Porter. Kell's a bigger name in the UK than Charlo is in the US, and heading to Texas with less than six minutes of confidence-building under his belt would be a fool's errand. And I can't see Charlo coming over to the UK for anything less than silly money.

    Sadam Ali would probably make for more amenable negotiating -- Hearn should stump up some dough to get him and his WBO title over here for Kell, which, assuming he does a number on Ali, would set the Brook-Khan bout up as a title fight (possibly at a catchweight, on Khan's insistence). There's no way Brook-Khan gets made for June with Khan fighting near the end of April, anyway.

    Brook has been quoted saying he's done in a year , and will most likely cash out in a fight vs Khan

    Brook looked good tonight. Khan will be going back to the jungle to hide (aka "I used to be a semi-decent boxer get me out of here")

    I like the way you evaded the issue with your woman beating hero Floyd who you made excuses for.

    That's admirable, you should look into politics.

    I'm not worked up at, I just wanted to too see the guy face to face to see if he could stand by his cowardly words so he understands there are consequences and hopefully learn not to do it again.

    What you need to understand is that if you keep allowing scoundrels to o as they see fit, they only become worse which then influences others to imitate as they know they can get a little kick out of being brash and saying whatever the hell they want.

    This type of behavior needs to be corrected and as we now live in a soft society, with soft punishments and soft fluoride and soy ridden effeminate nancy boys everywhere, someone has to step up to the plate and instill some respect and ethics.

    Of course I'm aware there are bigger stronger men out there or those with nothing to lose.

    However if you choose to live by that kind of mindset you never will learn how to defend yourself and will get into the habit of shirking away from confrontations. I don't care win or lose, the point is to lay down a marker.

    I didn't expect his power to be so much better at this weight.
    Expected him to outbox RChenko for 3/4 rds while he got sharper each Rd before dropping him a couple times and the ref stepping in.
    Kells power at LMW is legit.

    As a big Froch fan, I loved Rach. Great, great cheerleader for her man. If you were one of those salty Calzaghe guys or a fan of one of Froch's opponents, I can imagine you'd have hated her. :lol:

    (I was a Calzaghe guy myself, just not a salty one.)

    I expect he'll have another gatekeeper type fight, Mundine would be a good tubeup vs a style he's not been oft against.
    Then a title fight, then a voluntary against Khan.
    He ain't walking away without winning another world title.

    Cant see it mate , he will be on a high after that win but I don't think he will cut it against an elite level fighter the Khan fight isn't as big as it once was though so who knows ?

    Calzaghe man with Froch not that far behind for me. You loved her ??? Good looking bird, but that a side she was a joke. Couldn’t of been more irritating, nothing to do with being salty or a fan of Froch opponents, she was off the chart

    What he should have done is look after his weight better over the last few years. I've followed Kell from way back, and he didn't always struggle with 147, because he wasn't always so indisciplined between fights. He's a pure welter. He didn't outgrow the weight, he started out-eating it and out-drinking it (I'm friendly with a couple members of the family on his mother's side, who made me somewhat privy to his habits). It disappointed me when I first noticed him looking chubby between fights, because the guy has too much ability to throw it away with indiscipline. It became a pattern, sadly.
