    If it was so easy to for Hatton to connect with the left hook, why did he only land an average of 5 or 6 punches a round?

    He would box the ears off Margarito and Angulo IMO , Spinks and Cintron are with out doubt winnable fights

    Clearly he'd have to pick and choose wisely , but there are some bigger names @154 (for the time being) if Eddie can get them or if he can go oversea's and fight away

    While he's waiting for the title picture @147 to become a little more clear , maybe MR should think about 154

    Because he didnt throw a left hook until the later rounds. Think it was round 10, when he threw his first one and throughout the round he threw 6-7 left hooks and each time caught brook clean. Watch it again

    I dont need to watch it again. Hatton lost every round and landed 5 or 6 punches per round, Kell was a level above. You don't jump in a pool and expect not to get wet, in boxing you get punched in the face, You can't avoid every single punch the other fighter throws. Seems to me like you're reaching for a weakness that doesn't really exist in Kell.

    The fact that he's so good makes people unwilling to face him.

    Obviously not. People are already clutching at straws to try and degrade him.

    "He's open to the left hook", "not aggressive and doesn't have killer instinct", "isn't a puncher", "he may be slick but is he black enough" etc. It's getting boring and it's about time the whole of the world accepted that Kell is as unbeatable as Ricky Burns.

    Brook is doing it the right way. There would be nothing GOOD about fighting at world level before he's ready and getting KTFO...he's ready now and will make the step up! Why should he of been fighting for world titles after 10 fights like some morons on here would have you believe he should of been doing....jeeeeez!

    Brook's already fought at world level though - against Jackiewicz - and looked excellent while doing so. Of course Rafal's style was a bit made to order for him, not to mention he had a rather helpful size advantage, but that shouldn't fully detract from just how good he was. It's an underrated win imo, and I think he took a step back in fighting Hatton.

    Assuming he wins this weekend(which he should do), Zaveck is the fight for me.

    People forget Jackiecwz was rated highly by several governing bodies and the Ring Magazine before the Brook fight and KB made him look silly. Typical Kell Brook doubters/critics/haters call them what you want. What will be funny is to see what some of these clowns come up with when he steps up to world level with EASE and becomes world champion.
