Next for Kell Brook

[Finn]

I think is the most likely and sensible option. The Khan fight could easily happen at 154 although I suspect Khan doesn't really want it as apparently he is now saying he'd prefer it at 147 with Brook seemingly heading up a division. Kell has been a world champion, he could become a two-weight world champion instead of chasing the big money fights, just move to light-middle and let things happen naturally

Khan would be at a big disadvantage against brook at 154 imo, thats a 147 fight. I suspect khan will try and get the fight with Spence.

Khan fought Alvarez at practically the light-middleweight limit though didn't he? Its a fair enough comment though because its clear to see that Brook is naturally bigger than Khan who's best days imo were at 140.

It's also clear to me that Khan really doesn't want any part of Kell unless he gets it all his own way in negotiations, he produces excuse after excuse every time. Brook has already said he thinks his future is at 154 so that's Khans next excuse boxed off.

yeah i think he would fight brook but unless hes getting his own way in negotiations at the moment he sees bigger fights out there in terms of money.

Its clear to me now that Brook is mentally and physically broken. I guess he will roll a dice at 154 but I predict he will come short. His days at the world level is over.

It does look like a case of damage done.

But it could be a case of how invigorated he is by the extra weight at 154.

Think with the right opponent he can do it. But that it's a matter of, soon as he faces someone aggressive and determined he'll crumble.

I dont think its possible any more. Like Groves got Cobra-ed Brook got Good boy-ed. Difference is that he is older and has had too many injuries. Jumping around weights hasn't help either. He wont recover in my opinion ever.

[CaptainSpacerod]

Move to 154 and have a decent ten rounder to get used to the weight and get comfortable with the repaired eye sockets. He's been jumping around the divisions lately so needs to settle back in and rebuild his confidence before another world title fight.

I think this is a good idea.

Maybe a big domestic clash with Liam Williams would give a good indication of Kell's effectiveness at 154 and would generate a decent payday for both lads.

What's next for Kell Brook?

I would imagine going to Mykonos, doing loads of Ketamine, raving the night away, and getting involved in a daisy chain gang bang

[Stuarty]

Has to be 154. Unless he fights Danny Garcia then I want to see him move up. Andrade would be a good and winnable fight IMO if he heals well.

I'm not sure about the Khan fight anymore tbh. They've had their chance. It would still sell but it won't do the kind of numbers it would've done a year or two back. They would probably both need a tune up first particularly Khan so it's a long way off still. It's just looking as if they've missed the boat and personally I'm not as interested in it now as I once was.

Kell can still have a bright future if he heals properly. It has to be big fights from here until retirement though. No more Dans or Biziers/Gavin's. I wouldn't begrudge him a tune up after his op but after that he has to make every fight count.

Good on him if he does

Yeah the late beating versus Spence has possibly sealed his demise.

I agree,i didn't see anything in the Spence fight to suggest he could go up a weight and claim a title with relative ease as some are suggesting.

I remember writing before the GGG fight that although many viewed as a "no lose" situation for Brook, that he would get smashed up badly and never be the same fighter again. I`m not saying that Brook is shot, cos he isn`t, but that GGG brutalization definitely took an edge away from him. He was hammered in that fight and got hammered again in this fight. His confidence will be shot to bits. Fair dues, he beat Shawn Porter, but Porter is not an elite fighter. He`s a good solid world level welterweight. The two times Brook has fought at elite level he has been beaten up badly and his face caved in.

If we look beyond his victory against Porter (who he beat but certainly not easily), his next best win must be Matthew Hatton or Frankie Gavin? Not much to shout about and far away from elite as you can get.

I imagine that when he goes to sleep at night this must be on his mind that his career to date is a split decision win over Porter and nothing else of note (on the world stage at least) plus two hammerings by the two elite guys he has fought.

I like Kell Brook and obviously he is a good fighter, but in truth his career has been massively underwhelming in terms of who he has beaten, for a guy who many make out to be an elite fighter. I also used to think he was better than he has proven to be, but I think the last two fights showed us that there is levels within levels at the very top of the sport.

I've never rated him as an elite fighter and I can't disagree with that assessment to be honest, his career is mostly a tale of what might have been, not all entirely his own fault but he's certainly made mistakes along the way. If he quit now at least he can say he won a genuine world title in the USA .. . . . . and he'd still hammer Khan in my opinion

He's young enough to have a good rest and recouperation period. I think he'll come back, what you've said is pretty much spot on and he'll know that. He'll want to prove how good he can be, not just to the public but also to himself.

I'd like him to move up a weight, he seems to struggle with stamina so maybe moving up would help with that. A Khan fight would be good and I think would be big, all it would take is one good performance against a good name and he's over the last loss
