Eddie Hearn said in his interview with I film London after the fight he wants a big name for kell in July in Sheffield. He mentions Maidana, malignaggi, Mosley

I think Maidana would be ideal for him, wether he would come to England would be another thing though

He'd obliterate all three.

Hopefully Khan at 147lb, Khan has been tweeting anything negative about Brook. I think Brook probably stops Khan something I would like to see.


If not then Malignaggi makes business sense!

Aye, Khan wid be great has his number easy.

Maidana then khan for me.
If he is as good as im starting to believe he is then they are both winnable fights for brook in my opinion.

I think if he was to beat maidana then there would be an easy case to merit a fight with khan wether he is a champion at the time or not, it doesnt matter.

He wouldnt get much credit from beating malinaggi although it would get his name going more in america.

Needs a tough test over here ideally .
What would be the point of another opponent he is expected to blast away and preferably not someone
Khan has beaten .I think Mosely would be a tough enough test i expect he is on Khans hitlist get him before
Khan adds the scalp .
.Well done Kell

what about victor ortiz that would be a brilliant fight ortiz attacking style against the slick style of brook would be a belter, ortiz would test brook too unfortunatly hatton couldnt do and the fight went exactly as i had thought it would. i think brook would be too much for ortiz as well breaking him down in the later rounds as u know ortiz gets frustrated and will get tagged too much for the ref to intervene.

Eddie Hearn mentioned Maidana, Malignaggi, Devon Alexander and Shane Mosley at the post fight press conference.

A good fight for Brook would be Alexander. Maidana would a good opponent aswell, Mosley would just be a name on his resume. I doubt any of these fights would come off because Brook hasn't got enough of a profile. Malignaggi would be a pointless opponent because the guy has been shot for three or four years now. The maidana fight would be 50-50, but Brook isn't ready for the likes of Ortiz, Berto and certainly not khan. Brook lacks power and that will be his downfall at world level.

whats this about him lacking power? is this general consensus as i may agree.
he has hurtful punches but not killer.

anyway next step for me s for him to go to someones backyard and that guy is devon alexander.
brook should also look into a chap called zavek and perhaps bring him over to sheffield or go to his backyard.

Get Zavek over before the summer then go for the ibf or wba in september/october time.

Think he sparred Zavcek that be ideal fight but they may want a bigger name.

The problem with Maidana is he said he is moving back down back to 140. Alexander is another possible fight. I think Berto or Ortiz might be a little too much maybe in another year.

It should be Khan if he is moving up IMO, he (Khan) shouts his mouth off why not give Kell the chance to shut it up!

I cant see Khan fighting Brook if there isnt a title involved. However, if he loses to Peterson again I think Brook/Khan would be a certainty belt or no belt.

Don't know why Hearns keeps mentioning Malignaggi, he's got a fight in April against Senchenko for the WBA title, and i don't expect the American to win.

Brook beats all 3 for me, but I think Maidana would give him the most to think about.

Brook is in a real tough position, because he looks 'ready', but sitting at the top of the 147 tree are future hall-of-famers who are still 'living' & would teach him a lesson more than likely.

Mainly it is because Paulie Malingaggi is a former world titlist and is known to British fans have fought both Amir Khan and Ricky Hatton and got stopped by both of them in 11 rounds in world title fights at 10 stone, plus he is an American fighter who regularly has his fights shown on HBO and Eddie Hearn wants to have Kell Brook aired on either HBO or Showtime. Plus he does not really have the power to give Brook trouble (in theory) but his handspeed and footwork might give Brook something to think about.

Forget Mosley and khan, they will both show kell up !

Alexander or Maidena for me, Mosley has Alvarez in May, Mike Jones has Randall Bailey, Rob Guerrero vs Aydin is on, Berto vs Ortiz in June, Sevechenko vs Malignaggi April (if malignaggi breaks is hand july maybe out of question) even Carson Jones and Europe champ have fights so not many would be free in September.

i'd stick my house on Brook Ko'ing Khan. His survival instinct have certainly improved since his younger days but he still gets hurt, Maidana & Peterson had him on his bike big time. Maidana is a big puncher but his power is overrated imo - he showed he coulnt carry it to 147 aswell. Brook on the other hand seemd to give Hatton alot more trouble than Alvarez did Alvarez is considered one of the heaviest punchers at 154. Khan simply won't cope with solid punchers at 147 such as Brook, Ortiz & Berto.

Brook would kill Maidana, but hes moving back to 140 im sure, he certainly doesnt belong at 147.

Ideally id like to see Brook fight Jones but i dont think that will happen. Alexander woudl be a good fight for him, i think he'd win, but he'd be in there with a very tricky guy whos pretty highly thought of.

Can Clottey still make 147?
