It's more his natural weight, and they both just got some exposure in losses against big names.

They've both got fights coming up!
I'm hoping Liam Williams (who has the apparent higher upside) beats Liam Smith, and then goes into a fight with Hurd for the IBF, or faces another ranked contender for the WBO.
I'd then hope Kell Brook beats Spence and moves onto Pacqiao or the Thurman/Garcia winner. If he was to lose, and lose well, then moving up to fight Williams after a warm up is what I'd expect.

I know it's an ideal dream world but I just want good domestic show downs.

Great comment mate. Fancy him defending his world title when he could have a domestic clash :doh:

was he not favouring a domestic clash over his world title when Khans name was being floated around before he was forced to fight Spence?
and I was referring to a future potential clash between the 2 when he moves up and drops his IBF Title...

Brook v Khan makes a lot more sense financially than Brook v Smith. There's history there and it would be PPV.

I would love to see kel and khan and in my opinion 50/50 split.reasens if kel boxed spence at wembly would it sell out?i dont think so.If khan boxed spence would it sell out ?same again i dont think so but if Khan and Kel were at wembly it would sell out so they are both as big a pull as each other.Khans boxed better oeople but lost a lot more so thats equal too. Kel would be miles too muck for smith and its a backward step

Liam Smith would be Starched in a round by triple G.

As for brook canelo, you have to pick canelo but I'm not sure he'd stop brook

Canelo would give Brook a sustained, career changing beating.

The only reason Brook did as well as he did against Golovkin, is because GGG looked relatively poor.

GGG has to be the most overrated fighter ever, I can't think of any other top fighter that'd get credit for beating up someone 2 divisions smaller. and not even the dominant fighter in that division, or someone with P4P pedegree.

I don't know maybe that's a good thing because if Ward wins the rematch he could go straight into a fight with Billy Joe Saunders, and who wouldn't want to see Loma fight Rey Vargas?

Good comment, not read all the posts but I watched the spar in Manchester with brook and smith and brook actually took him apart, I'm not saying this has anything to do with it but brook was different class
