Out of interest, who is the most underrated in your opinion?

John Mcdermott. I think he has great talent but never has gotten himself into respectable conditon. Some may laugh at that though

Someone wants to be taken serious and then says Brook over rated McDermott under rated.
I give up.

I think Sky were trying to counterbalance the ridiculous overhyping they did for Kell's previous fight. Somewhere in between is probably right IMO, he's a promising but still developing fighter who has yet to be tested at world level

Vyacheslv Senchenko is the WBA champ, and he is backed by Union Boxing Promotion. Who have bid big purses in the past, i mean they bid 1.1 million for a fight against Brad Solomon, the nearest bid was $900,000 less. So that shows that whatever Hearn thinks he has, they have more. I can't see Hearns having the finances to temp him out of the Ukraine, and i can't see Brook tempted to go there for the fight.

WBC Mayweather, no chance of him fighting Brook. He will only be out once in 2012 i think.

WBO Pacman, i can't see it. But if the Mayweather fight doesn't happen them maybe Brook could get a shout in. He's ranked No2 with them.

Intelligent, logical reasoning so no way it will happen like that. Kell will probably have to win 5 final eliminators and wait for umpteen ‘name’ lightweights/light-welters to get their cracks before he even gets a sniff. 2012 is going to be crucial for Kell as he is likely to get 3-4 fights and they need to be key ones. I’d love to see him versus Matthew Hatton as Matt’s got a name on the world stage, is a former world title challenger and former EBU titlist. People sneer when he is mentioned but he is a very viable test for Kell.

It would be awesome if they were to get someone like Malignaggi over.

In many ways it is a shame that the Mafia no longer control the sport, at least in those days you knew who to bung and it lead to a title crack. Too many fighters stagnate or wither on the vine simply because the usual suspects get title shot after title shot. There’s too much deadwood at the higher levels.

Pacman is WBO 'Super Champion' the guy ranked above Kell Brook Mike Jones just won and IBF eliminator so I would assume he gets the shot at Berto. Might we see Brook fighting for the WBO interim? Hopefully not

Can you please read my post properly i said he is underrated i have not said he is any world beater....So dont comment unless you have a good reaseon.

The reason i say he is overated is because his best oppenent is ndou who lets face it was past his best...so saying that he isnt desreving of a world title shot
