You can only beat whats infront of you and while i do accept he has to up his defence by the time the bigger guys come a calling, the technical aspects are all in place for him to acheive big things

Rate cleverly over brook as our best prospect right now
Kell Brook is another one, I think he has look exciting but again who the fuck has he fought? People need to take the reins in a bit with this overhyping of are fighters, his best win is against Lomax ffs.

He needs to step it up with a fighter that is atleast top British level, so far he hasnt fought any of the top boys in the country but for some reason people think he is the next coming. I think I will reserve my judgement for a while yet.

Who were hatton and JC fighting 17-18 fights in? They were doing the same thing working their way up fighting 3rd-4th tier opponents in leisure centres.

You cant rush these guys and you dont need too. Khan got top billing because of what he did at the olympics not because of his natural ability. He got found out by a far inferior fighter because unlike these 2 he didnt learn a sufficent amount of in ring experience and got caught out.

British
Commonwealth
European
World contenders
World championship fight

Thats the true route to ultimate success!!
Who said anything about rushing them?? Kell Brook has won and defended the British title three times and has fought no one of note on the domestic scene, Jennings. O Donnell, Watson, Hatton, all these and other need to be considered before we talk about him being a multiple world champ. That's my point to many British fans get to excited with prospects and start making bold statements about them.
