Brook doesn’t gain much from beating Hatton
February 23rd, 2012
By Scott Gilfoid: Eight years as a pro and 26 fights under his belt and undefeated welterweight contender Kell Brook (26-0, 18 KO’s) is just now facing Matthew Hatton (42-5-2, 16 KO’s) in yet another one of the 25-year-old Brooks’ many stay busy fights on March 17th at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield. Yorkshire, UK. Brook is one of those guys just seems to continue to face fodder time and time again no matter what.
Why doesn’t Brook continue to face guys that will help him improve rather than punching bags like Hatton? I don’t see any point in this fight. Hatton has already been easily beaten by Craig Watson and Saul Alvarez, so there’s no point in Brook facing him. Brook should be fighting the guys that beat Hatton rateher than Hatton himself. I’d rather see Brook fight guys that could give him a test like Victor Ortiz, Jan Zaveck, Thomas Dulorme, Randall Bailey and Selcuk Aydin.
Those guys could really give Brook a major test and I could see at least four of them knocking Brook out. I don’t see Brook in their class, but I guess that’s probably why Brook is fighting Hatton rather than those guys. Maybe in another seven years Brook will be ready to fight Dmitriy Salita. I just hope Brook never gets a title because I’d hate to see him fighting weak opposition as a champion like the guys he’s been fighting without a belt.
If Brook beats Hatton badly on March 17th, he won’t get any credit because Hatton is so badly flawed and has already been beaten on five occasions.

Hatten was well beaten by Alvarez but Alvarez is everything that’s good in boxing at the moment.Hatton vs Brook makes for a fantastic domestic bout! Yes Brook needs to move on but beating Hatton is no foregone conclusion!cant wait for it!would ya ever stop moaning about boxing and enjoy these good match ups for what they are!
Hairy ha ha ha ha ha I like it !
I know what you do gain from writing rubbish a stiff little pecker
Another article where Scott hates on British fighters. Yaaaaaaawn
People need to stop slagging Deontay off, fella carrrys on at the rate he is going he will be a top ten fighter by 2040.
I agree that if Brook became a ‘champion’ it would be bad for boxing; if his past is anything to go by, he will just be holding onto the belt by fighting bums. Boring.
Wait a second, two days ago you wrote an article saying the American boxer deontay wilder was fighting a blown up middleweight who hasn’t fought in 5 years . Kell brook is fighting a guy who has fought actual champions and went the distance with them. How can this fight not be a more important fight than wilder fighting some chump. How can you live with yourself causing so much hate. Seriously I hope your family gets a!ds. Your are a r’cist and a horrible person , I realize u must show Ur articles to your friends and laugh how much sh’t u stir but really all you are doing is showing that creating hate on a site that basically is the most racist web site on the planet . Im Irish and have no love for British fighters in particular but if they are good I give them props. U don’t give 2 f!cks about talent your a disgrace. To all fans out there please stop reading his chumps articles as what’s the point?
I’m sure brook would love to face those guys too because he would earn a hell of a lot more money and would actually get a chance to show case his talent. But him wanting to face them isn’t enough to make a fight Scott! They don’t want to take on a relatively unknown dangerous fighter, and I can’t blame them for that. So get off his case! When he knocks out hatton it will make a statement! …do you know anything about the boxing business? You don’t just get a shot at the elite as soon as people start talking about you!
Why rush? He can take something from the Hatton fight. No point thinking about world titles yet, the likes of Manny Pacquiao have them
Wat u mean like mike jones, deontay wilder and chris arreola scott?
It would be different if Brook was ameican !
He is better off fighting Hatton and keeping busy rather than waiting for an A level fighter to fight him.
Scott – Brook is fighting Hatton to prove he is the best in britain domesticaly! After he has done that he will prove he is the best in Europe and then the world. Watch this space! Scot ur bell end!
Are you for real? Haha, I have never heard so much trash in all my life! Sort it out
