Who should be Kell Brook's first opponent in the 154lb division?

I'm a brook fan and quite like the sound of Eggington.
Maybe a couple fights like eggington then, assuming all goes well, someone like Liam Smith.
If he wins that and got ranked then go for a title
Oh and KO Khan anywhere inbetween there

 

Sporting Icons reported that monster that fights like GGG,can’t remeber his name now but seriously he should take a few tune ups as he’s nothing to prove after fighting both GGG and Spence back to back,let him get used to the division is my opinion before facing anyone of note let alone a 154 GGG clone lol

 

Totally agree and how unlucky was it to suffer the same fate against Spence in the other eye,I’ve never given him any grief over that if the Docs did tell him it was dangerous to carry on and like you say he fought well in both fights and brought out something in Spence I didn’t know he had so fair play.

 

The thing about that is, though Arum did appear to set Foreman-Cotto up as Foreman's coming-out party, you didn't get the feeling that Cotto at age 29 was staring at the end as you do with Brook at age 31 (pushing 32). Nor did Cotto carry the disillusioning feels of a career largely unfulfilled, as I would think Brook privately does (at least to some degree).

Cotto did carry the clout of a PR superstar, which allowed him to pick a nice little path to ostensible success above 147, although he tended to come up short whenever he faced able-bodied top operators. His career above welterweight is basically smoke and mirrors, but it looks pretty good on paper. However, Brook doesn't have the fanbase and economic clout to command that kind of run studded with names in beatable states in between big paydays with PPV players. Pretty much everyone Cotto fought from 2011 to present day was ready to offer themselves up and box on Cotto turf for a Cotto payday, outside of Floyd and Canelo (and even Canelo was forced to make concessions just to get the fight on).

 

Jack culcay he can't punch but is a decent boxer and IMO is a welter fighting at light middle he needs to stay a way from a puncher

 

it should be some guy we never heard of whos on a losing streak. ease your way back in. not a big fight untill end of year an he must be active i can see him struggling to get sharp after two beatings he sustained. lets see if those fights took something out of him, an keep in mind the broken orbital bones on seperate eyes may continue to cause to throw in the towel those are injuries i would be worried about. fighting seems risky seems like there would be a chance i could go blind.

 

Somebody in the top 10-20 I hope, than in his 2nd fight somebody in the 5-10 than one of the belt holders if he looks the part, which he will.

 

Here’s a few: Ishe Smith; Tony Harrison; Terrell Gausha. Follow that up with a money fight against Liam Smith. If he gets by those fights, then he should go for Jermell Charlo. He should stay away from Hurd and Lara at all costs.

 

I think Brooks should get advice from Wilder since Wilder knows all the winos in the alley! Brook needs an easy tuneup fight before fighting someone good. Hell, he could just fights winos from the alley, then he would be called the best fighter in the world like the fools who claim Wilder is the best by fighting bums!

 

Give him Margarito. It's a name that Hearn can use to sell the fight, plus I think Brook would beat the **** out of Margarito and that sounds good to me.

 

Anyone who doesn't have a chance of shattering his eye sockets.

 

Kamegai is a good shout.

 

after twice fracturing eye sockets, i'd like to see him call it a day
surprised no-one has said this yet

 

...Brian Rose.

 

It would be a circus freak show of cyborg eyes and ultimately a victory with zero significance.
