Kell Brook won the fight of his life against my guy Shawn Porter and has rested on his laurels ever since. I mean, the three guys he's fought since then. Come on, man. Bizier, Gavin, Ionut Dan Ion. All in the UK, two literally in his backyard of Sheffield. Partial reason Brook is still undefeated at 36-0 is the lower level of competition. Jessie Vargas should not be the best opponent we see Brook fight rest of 2016 and going into 2017.

I actually think Vargas is going to surprise us and do well in this fight, but I doubt he can win.

Yeah Brook has been a dissapointment. At least fight a dude like ghost or something if you're not gonna face a top guy, he's just out there fighting bums. To be fair he did try to get Diego Chaves and it fell apart, but otherwise hes out there bull****tin
Hopefully we get Spence vs Brook soon. Seems like outside of Shawn Porter, I don't see any of these top ranked dudes at 147 looking to fight the toughest competition.

Brook has been very disappointing since his win over Porter. I'd say his lack of producing big fights is at about as bad, maybe worse, than Andre Ward.

No way. Ward takes the cake for that.

The difference is that there really wasn't anyone meaningful for Ward to fight since he won the Super Six besides maybe Degale, or some would say GGG. Brook campaigning at 147 and fighting nobody remotely in the top 10 of the division since Porter leaves a lot to be desired.

It fell apart because of him. His camp claimed that a shoulder injury forced him to pull out of the fight, but the rumor is the real reason why he pulled out was because he was having weight issues.

Watch him not even make 154 in September
Last time he tried to fight at it was against Angulo, and they had to renegotiate the weight limit before the weigh in which started his run at "Canelaweight".
It'll be Smith in September, Margarito in MX City in December, and either Lemieux or Cotto II in May.
I want GGG to get a big name scalp on his resume before moving up, but part of me hopes this blows up in DLH's face and Canelita gets sparked by somebody.

Canelo camp sayin the fight is happening in sept 2017 is BS. Canelo said he would fight GGG 3 times already. I hope this dude doesnt keep this mayweather trend up anymore.
I dont see canelo being the face of boxing for the years to come if he keeps duckin while fighting french fries.

That gives him two fights before GGG to get fully acclimated to 160. If he doesn't fight his next two fights at weight that shows me he's acclimating himself to 160, I will call BS.

Don't forget, Canelo has to win both of those fights for it to even stay on the table. I think he might get touched up badly if he faces big puncher at 160, a lot of risk there.

Supposedly Liam Smith is the next move, picking the weakest champ available at 154
Lemieux would be an interesting match but I don't think golden boy would take it. It could go either way, and Lemieux definitely has a chance of dropping his ***, too dangerous. I'd be impressed if they actually agreed to that

Call me cynical, but I suspect that GBP promised Roach and Tapia a fight with Canelo if he beat Lemieux. He was getting sparked at 154, how is 160 somehow a more ideal weight for him?

Eric Gomez the VP of GBP said a Canelo-Pac fight is off because Pac already has a deal in place to fight Broner

Canelo is bonafied trash. Watch one of the crappier middleweights is going to drop him. He should just fight triple G now. MAKE all the cash possible and call it a day.....

Feel the same way.
I remember Canelo ringside watching Josesito Lopez wash Ortiz.
Josesito was supposed to be a tune up for Ortiz before he fought Canelo.
He don't want that to be him.
