Other than Brook missing with several big shots I'm not really sure what the tell tale signs were that he is a shot fighter.

It looked to me like he decided from the beginning how he was going to beat Khan, by walking him down and wearing him out. However unpretty that may look.

I thought he looked great for a shot fighter! Froch wasn't anywhere near shot in his last fight, but had it not been Groves I don't think his performance would've been close to what it was.

I doubt anyone fires Brook up as much as Khan, and for that reason think he should retire. Eubank could seriously hurt him. I've a feeling Khan's relative lack of power gave Brook a confidence in his eye socket he wouldn't enjoy against some of the other names mentioned.

Roy Jones looked good vs Jeff Lacy.

I didn't think Brook looked great, his reactions looked seriously slowed.

Eubank would be a bad fight because he has too much left. Benn isn't all that but he's clearly younger and closer to his peak than Brook and he could hurt Brook.

That would be great !

And Benn beats Brook !
Age and weight making.

i like thaat idea of brook vs lejarraga for 154 euro title, think that's a good level and weight for kelly now, though not sure if that counts as big enough for what kell's after at this stage

I'd take Benn to knock out Brook.

I dont want to see brook try make 147 again. But I dont think Benns team will want it anyway, brooks still a handfull offensivly.

I don't think Kell can train for anyone else like he can Khan.

Benn wants to be a PPV fighter and will press for it. Promoters like it. Pass Khan's hype to Brook. Then Brook's hype to Benn.

Benn ain't no Khan. He's young, hungry and, what's the most important, doesn't have a glassjaw. Brook can cause some problems, but I can't see him lasting for long.

no not at all i think any other fighter brook wouldn't have looked as good

Brook is a shadow of what he was. If Brook was the same man he was that wouldn’t of gone a round last night with that version of khan

Brook’s too fresh for Benn. He needs to be retired for 3 years before Hearn even considers it!

Seriously though, it’s all about weight. I fancy Brook at 154 but the closer you get to 147 the fight swings in Benn’s favour.

I hope Kell retires. He’s won a world title, he’s settled his grudge with Khan, he’s headlined Brammal Lane & the Sheffield Arena loads of times. His only losses have come to fighters that will go down as all time greats. Why go on? Do you really want to lose to someone a couple of levels below you like Hatton did against Senchenko?

If he does fight on I think it’ll be Eubank at a catch weight or possibly even Josh Taylor. Sky box office is where the moneys at in the UK & that’s the only reason for Brook to carry on.

If he fights on i'd say a fight with Eubank Jr looks a more realistic option,

He looked good against a fighter with no power, and who was throwing very little.

If he's financially secure, he should retire

Benn brings great energy and intensity. If he sticks to a game plan and can take a decent shot then I think he out points Kel 115-113 in a breakout performance.

Embarassing

Would a fight with Liam Smith at 154 be big enough if he beats Vargas?

As others have said he should go nowhere near 147 or Eubank so either a fight like the above or hang the gloves up.

It could be a PPV fight. Kell’s never been bigger than he is now. It’s not going to do Khan numbers but, with a good undercard of name fighters, I could see them doing 250k buys.

If/when the belts splinter at 154 then I’d like to see Liam win a belt and defend against Kell. A lot would need to happen for that though.

I'd like to see Smith v Brook

What would be in it for Kell Brook?

If he gets beaten, he was shot anyway; if he wins, he'd have beaten an overhyped novice.

If Brook were to stay at 147, then it would have to be for another shot at a trinket and seeing as the trinkets are held by Spence and Crawford whom have already battered him, plus Ugas who probably would have lost his trinket to Spence by the end of the year, what would be the point?

If Brook is to continue, it will have to be at 154.

One thing - a heap of money. That’s all he’ll be fighting for now.
