Go on...plot a route for Kell Brook. What would you line up for him?

Id get him world title if possible, if not then Alexander

First off, i would love to see him fight Jon Saxon on the Froch undercard, oh wait, is Jon Black and American? If not, no point.

On a serious note, i think he should have a tune up fight on the Froch undercard, a name if possible, somebody to impress against.

Then i would put him in with Berto or Senchenko (Although Senchenko will avoid the fight). Berto is overrated so i think Kell stands a chance. If Kell can get his hands on a belt, it makes the Khan fight more possible which would be great for this country.

All if's and but's at the minute but i do think Kell is capable of beating Berto or Senchenko

Please god not Malignaggi....Jones or Alexander would be excellent tests ( in 2012 - the AC fight will no doubt be a gimme )
Randall Bailey ?

Has to be Mike Jones for me to see who really is the real deal. Why not Malignaggi on Froch undercard then Jones early next year.

Because he can't crack an egg, and I've already seen two Brits beat him up - 3 would be cruel.

Hatton next and then possibly the winner of Jones and Lujan or Senchenko. I think Brook is about 4 solid fights away, before considering him to even fight for a title.

malinaggi in atlantic city makes to most sense as hes only from up the road

What Kell needs is to gain some exposure in America against a fighter that is well known, a bit of a test, but one that he will beat. I think that Malignaggi is the ideal guy. Plenty will turn out for that fight because he is a name and it would be a nice introduction for Kelll to the American audience where he can look good and gain some sort of a base. I would also suggest Judah, if he would come back up from 140lbs, but with no title on the line i doubt it would appeal to him and i also think that Judah would be a sterner test for Kell.

Malignaggi in December

Mosely in March

Khan in the summer.

How in a million years is he going to fight Alexander in Sheffield? The guy has just signed for Golden Boy.

Is Hearn going to offer these guys a million quid to come over? This is the guy who was going round saying boxers were overpaid.

It just shows they are just dreaming. If Brook wants those names, he will have to go to the US and take the short end of the purse.

His next fight is in the states.

His next fight is December 17 right? If so do you really expect them to have a top guy lined up just two months after this fight? I dont think so, 10 rounder against a game, but limited kind of fighter.

Game but limited kind of fighter - so pretty much more of the same.

It's unknown at this point, who his opponent will be.

If the money is right, it'd could be anyone.

Money talks, bullshit walks.

But the Polish guy was in the ring top 10 at the division ,Kell totally outclassed him I prefer him to have a proper fight lined up for Feb 2012 rather than beat some tough journeyman.

Malignaggi is fighting this weekend, I just cant see him nor Alexander taking the fight.

I would go for Senchenko to be honest, then fight one of the two mentioned, and after that Mike Jones (if still unbeaten) would be a great fight to have.

I can see them taking a very similar route to Khan's, similarities look there if he fights Senchenko.

Brook fought last weekend. So what?

I reckon a few tough, but beatable opponents like his last 2 then a world title fight mid 2012. As much as we would love to see him in with live opponents now my gut feeling is that he wont be.

The last bloke was a genuine contender.

On paper yes. But with a lot of miles on the clock. 34 years old & 49 fights IMO it was a great piece of matchmaking & timing.

Only lost one fight in 6 years.

Never been stopped.

Lost a majority decision a year ago for a world title.

They are facts mate.

He never looked like a winner though did he?

He needs a better coming out party.

How about Randal Bailey or Collazo.

Senchenko next hopefully, decent step up in level and a chance to get a "World Title".

You're quite right. Now, don't you think Brook had a little to do with that?

Come on Jon
