Thread: Who's next for Kell Brook??

He has to play the shitty alphabet game to get any clout, which he's been a bit unlucky with. None of the other "big names" - Khan, Marquez, Broner etc - will fight him if he brings nothing to the table.

He's now gonna get shit for his next opponent because he's forced to wait for Porter.

The panic is down to the level of fights he is talking about and the level he's been fighting at for the last few years. His career has stood still for 3 years. He should really have been fighting at a higher level than his current opposition to get him into a world title position but fighting Jones & Senchenko have shown very little. He needs to either step up or stop talking about big fights.

He's fought himself into a shitty IBF title position. He was in one before with Alexander too.

Who should he have fought then?

Brooks should have a warm up against Khan opponent Julio Diaz and beat him with ease to demonstrate that he is the superior fighter.

Its like he's trying to wait out the division completely.

Its not his fault if Porter takes the interim fight or a rematch.

Whatever happens with Porter he remains Mandatory and gets his IBF title shot.

Brook will win that belt...just a matter of time.

Agree he's been a long time coming through but has had some bad luck in his personal life and some injuries.

Maybe its a good thing he'll fight for the title a more experienced fighter.

Well its always something. He was a mandatory for Alexander for two years and 3 attempts failed. I'm not sure I buy the last minute injury claims. Porter is entitled to an optional defense and I'm not sure Alexander has any standing for a rematch unless it was part of the contract and the IBF sanctioned it. Brook should be calling out Porter right now regardless. Personally I dont think Kell wants to leave the womb.

Well therea no turning back now.. Brook has fought his way into the deep end now.

I think he stops both Porter or Alexander.

We shall see , I like Brook...always comes to fight and has ko power and puts fierce combos together.

Maybe im a little biased as he trains a lot at my brothers mates gym in fuerteventura :-)

You dont come around as bias at all. Quite the opposite.

What bugs me is that he's wasting away. The dude has real skill. I was shocked when Porter beat Devon and believe Devon wins a rematch. I think Kell beats Porter also. Maybe Hearn can get him to cross the pond.

I wouldnt be surprised if he calls out soto karass and call it a step up..lol

Brook is being wasted.

Yet world champion

I waited for Brook to be Champion, I was beginning to think it would never happen, but it
did he deserved it in the end.
To win in the USA makes it special, now to make some money got a nasty feeling Khan, will price
himself out of the fight, then blame Brook I see Khan getting KO IF THEY DO MEET.
