Kell Brook - July 7th - Sheffield Motorpoint Arena - Against WHO?

[TheMacMagician]

So, its pretty much nailed on set. Kell Brook fights again at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield on the 7th of July, but against who.

Of all the Welterweights available, who would be the best fight out there for him in your opinion. He's ranked 6 in the world by BoxRec, so going off that, that 5 above him (Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Andre Berto, Mike Jones, Devon Alexander certainly wont entertain coming to the UK and neither would Ortiz . Below him, there aren't a huge amount of decent options I don't think. I'd like to see him in against someone who comes to fight and wont lay down and is of a decent age and level of hunger. Listed my candidates below in no particular order.

Jesus Soto-Karass
Comes to fight with lots of punches and lots of pressure and went tooth and nail first time round with Mike Jones.

Dejan Zaveck
Comes to fight bringing plenty of leather and effective pressure. Was givng Berto all he could handle IMO and was unlucky with the cuts.

Selcuk Aydin
Brings pretty as above although may have more power in his shots. Always shouting his mouth off about wo he should be fighting but never seems to do so. Maybe its time fr him to put up or shut up. Great euro scrap.

Carson Jones
Dont know much abot him at all.... Anyone

What does everyone think?

[Dark Lord Al]

Id like to see him fight Junior Witter.

Someone with a pulse.

[TheMacMagician]

Witter, not sure about that Al. I dont think anyone REALLY wants to see Witter again. That shit STINKS.

Someone with a pulse.

Whats the point in just saying that though. Present an idea. You should always have an idea if your not happy with the selection. Or do you not know who else there might be.

[Jaymitch81]

Mike Jones for me and I think Eddie can get him here. Other than that, zaveck. Hard as nails.

[Galaxy]

I think Carson Jones fits the bill at this stage, other than that maybe Zaveck

I would like to see him against Maidana. Be a good test for him, a chin test.

Not a bad idea at all. Reckon he'd come to sheffield. Just wonder whether he'll drop back down to LWW where he can bully a little easier. Got nowhere against Alexander.

I actually think Zaveck would be a great option. He is like a very good version of Rafal Jackiewicz who Brook pasted.

[Dark Lord Al]

Witter v Brook would be like come dancing.

Maidana would be good , i also think Maidana would stop Brook.

You honestly think Maidana would stop Brook. Really? The same Maidana that couldn't stop chinny Khan and the same Maidana that barely laid a glove on Alexander. The very same Maidana that almost lost a close fight against a one eyed, way over the hill Morales at 140. Come on.

He'd be a great test of dealing with pressure, but I think Brooks stiff jab and angles slowly beat him up for a late stoppage personally...

Brooks beats Maidana easily.

[roberto duran legend]

Kell Brook would box Maidana,s ears off very wide UD.

[Galaxy]

I see Brook/ Maidana closer than some here, interested to see how Maidana goes under Garcia

[Dark Lord Al]

Brook hasent beaten anyone yet , i dont think he will like the pressure Maidana will put on him.

[Leighton]

I would like to see either Maidana, Alexander or Mike Jones. I think he would probably beat Maidana but dont know about the other two. No matter which one of those you put against him, it would be a good fight.
