The sad thing is, I do think Brook has the ability to be competitive with any of the top welterweights, but we'll never know because he's content to hide out in the UK and fight truck drivers and day labourers. It's a damn shame.

It's sad really. Beat a top ranked world level WW then go back to fighting damn near trilogies with Carson Jones level opponents.

If only Ernie Smith was still around he'd somehow become the IBF mando :wow:

Yes they are...but they only require you to do a mandatory defense once every 9 months:



In Brook's case, come March, it will already be his 3rd mandatory defense in 12 months while the IBF rule only requires 1 defense in that same time period.

He's hiding out with the belt overseas:yeshrug:




:ehh:

Then why doesn't he fight them breh? :sas1:



What attempts from Brook's side? Don't suppose you have any sources to back this claim up? While you're at it, how bout you provide a link to Floyd calling Brook the most skilled WW. I'll wait... :sas2:

hes not content to do that tho. hes retiring at the end of this year if he doesnt get a big fight. and they are forced mandatories. hes not floyd he cant just decide who he fights and everyone will accept. hes too good and isnt a draw in america hence why the american so called champs wont go near him. i domt know why you think its brooks fault. modern american boxing is about making the most money for the least amount of work. no american fighter will touch kell brook when they can all take it in turns to fight robert guerrero for millions.

LET PEOPLE LIVETMZSports.com


Floyd Mayweather has a message for Manny Pacquiao -- stop throwing shade at gay people!!!

Mayweather was on a jewelry shopping spree in NYC (per usual) when we asked how he felt about his most famous opponent saying gay people are "worse than animals."

Floyd responded by saying Manny needs to be more accepting -- "We should let people live their lives the way they want to live their lives. To each his own."

How can you say this about the other Champs when Bradley, Thurman, and Swift all got better resumes/fought better opponents than Brook has?:dwillhuh:


Have you ever thought that maybe it's BROOK who's the one fighting mandatory after mandatory, when he doesn't have too, bc he's content making his purses against limited opposition in front of his hometown fans?:jbhmm:

Again, 3 mandatory defenses in 12 months when the IBF only requires 1 every 9 months?:mjpls:

Shawn Porter wanted him, Brandon Rios wanted him, even Diego Ch:mjlol:ves wanted some work....instead, the guy that No No Dan already beat twice is getting the call:wow:

no brooks not content doing that. every time he gets interviewed he voices his displeasure with the situation. you keep bringing that ibf rule put as if the ibf give a fukk about that. they dont want brok champion period so they are breaking their own rules giving him pathetic mandatories in the hope that he drops the belt. the ibf makes a lot more money if one of the more well known american champs has the belt. this is common sense.

brooks so fed up of boxing politics hes going out like chqrley burley, retiring early because nobody will fight him. thats the facts. you can sit there all day talking about mandatories and level of opposition. but the fact is since the porter fight no american has wanted to go near him.
