Can Kell Brook become the new Amir Khan
Re: Can Kell Brook become the new Amir Khan
I think Kel Brook is a talent, he will certainly make it onto the world scene - british boxing is on the up for sure.
Re: Can Kell Brook become the new Amir Khan
Kell is fast but more to the point he is very, very accurate and he has superb natural timing
Re: Can Kell Brook become the new Amir Khan
It is disappointing that at 24 he appears a bit injury prone, hope he gets over his niggles, gets his head down, stays focussed and gets up to world level.

No one smashes Kirk, he rarely gets stopped and only in top class, the likes of Matthew Macklin couldn't stop him, he beat Matthew Hatton tooJ wrote:bennie wrote:I once told David Kirk that Brook was slow. Brook went out and smashed Kirk with a series of lightning-quick punches.
not being funny bennie but most people smash David Kirk he hasnt won a fight for 5 years or more.
Re: Can Kell Brook become the new Amir Khan
stand corrected Coco, I meant no disrespect to David who has been a solid good pro "opponent" and who i have seen box live several times, a hard man no doubt.
I meant more along the lines of him not really being a yardstick of future world class.
Sorry if i came accross badly there.

He's good but I don't think he's as good as Ryan Rhodes was at a similar stage in his career. Not as ilusive, nor does he punch as hard- I don't know he's decent but not sure he's the real deal yet.

Re: Can Kell Brook become the new Amir Khan
First he was a light middle though? And his wins over Silky Jones, Waudby, Scarlett, Bryan, Epifantsev were all highly explosive and dynamic perfromances. I like Brook he looks really decent but he's not really performed on that level that Rhodes managed. Perhaps i'm being harsh or looking through rose tinted specs- we'll see maybe his fundametals are more intact then Rhodes' were.HomeOfBritishBoxing wrote:maybe because rhodes was a mw, brook hits very hardJeff Thomas wrote:He's good but I don't think he's as good as Ryan Rhodes was at a similar stage in his career.

If Kell can start acting like a dickhead, sending pics of his cock to old fish wives and fighting men two or three divisions below him - then yes he can.
However not sure the Ingles would let him.

Ezekiel is very talented.
He is also a very honest pro.
Shit happens with injuries.
I fully expect Kel to make his mark on the World scene.
