im seeing alot of people saying kell brook doesnt deserve this fight and that fight, hes a nobody, hes fought nobodys etc. lets go back to 2008, fwank ****** steadily builds amir up nicely and comes up against a straightforward fight in bredis prescott, he doesnt even last a minute, his career in tatters. luckily (mainly down to ******s wallet) just two fights later hes in with an ATG at the end of his career in Barrera and then he gets a world title shot. Now all you khan bum boys. Who deserves a shot at world honours, unbeaten kell brook who has just come off a comfortable win at domestic level and is desperate to get a fight at world level, or amir khan who has just picked himself off the canvas after been in the ring for a minute with bredis prescott. Your favourite fighter got his break, kell deserves his, champions fighting unknown prospects is what will keep this sport alive.
"Kell deserves his" The kid has had nearly 30 odd fights and his coming out fight was against Matthew Hatton. Turn it in lad!
anyway, no one is saying kell doesnt deserve a shot, but he should have manned up and went abroad to get it, bet they wishing they did now. tey are in a division full of stars and all the belt holders command big money, wasnt the case for khan.
Whilst Kell hasnt exactly been smashing down the doors leading to Khan with his level of opposition, if Khan beats Peterson are there many fights that are more attractive financially for Khan? Assuming he doesnt get a shot at Floyd, bearing in mind that pac wont happen, marquez wants a southpaw, ortiz/berto tied up and hes looking to move up soon anyway...logic suggests he should take Brook sooner rather than later while he's fairly green and make a few quid and maybe win a few fans in uk.
