So Brook is facing Frankie Gavin? LMFAO what a JOKE

ok so as long as your coming off a win your a good fighter, doesnt matter if your fighting the best or not. Cherry picking exists because of fans like you. :lol1: What the hell are you talking about? Alexander would be a cherrypick you spastic. He's coming off a 12 round blow-out to the guy Brook is trying to fight ON TOP OF losing badly to the guy Brook just beat last year. He has no name, no fans. TV is not interested in him. He doesn't have a nice style, can't punch, can't talk.... The list of why he's boring goes on and on. What would be the point in fighting Alexander over Rios?

That gets him nowhere though,I also doubt that Hearn is keen for Brook to fight somebody dangerous like Bradley before Khan. Maybe not. Bradley is a awkward style and a potentially ugly fight. He has no real fanbase in America either. Rios will make for an entertaining fight and has a good Mexican fanbase. It makes more sense for Hearn.

Maidana is getting married or having a kid or something. There's some personal reason which I can't remember exactly off the top of my head. Ask the Argentine kid who posts here, he was the one who posted the pictures of him looking like Kim Jong Il. I don't think the money is there to bring Bradley over personally. I am just guessing with Bradley. I don't really know what he wants to do but if he's getting $2m guaranteed for Jessie Vargas....then why would he travel to the UK to fight Brook? That gets him nowhere though,I also doubt that Hearn is keen for Brook to fight somebody dangerous like Bradley before Khan.

Yeah alright a world title shot could change Maidanas mind, I did hear I think that hes not too bothered anymore though. Thats too soft an excuse though, Bradley already fought Pacquio twice he wouldnt be next for Mayweather either Im sure he'd want a shot at Kell he was willing to fight him before. That fight wasnt mentioned at all by Hearn. Maidana is getting married or having a kid or something. There's some personal reason which I can't remember exactly off the top of my head.

Sadam Ali?

Frankie gavin is ****e dont deserve ****e

Last I heard from Maidana's manager is that he wasn't fighting until September. And the last picture I saw of him suggests he is well off fighting weight. Bradley is in line to take an IBF eliminator so he could easily become Brook's mandatory and force the fight but I think we all know he's going to be in some Top Rank in house fight.

Bradley should be attempted to be made at least. Has Maidana ruled himself out? Last I heard from Maidana's manager is that he wasn't fighting until September.

Ok well at least 4 of those are not realistic. JMM was their first choice and Hearn would make that fight easily if Marquez said he wanted to fight again but we don't know if he is going to. Maidana is getting married this summer or something and weighs 300lbs at the moment. Not fighting until September I believe. Thurman is probably the best option but Haymon is not sending him to Sheffield in July. He wants to build Thurman on NBC, whilst Hearn wants to build Brook in the UK. That fight has not reached its potential yet. Bradley - don't know. He's getting $2million guarantees apparently to fight the likes of Jessie Vargas and Cornholio Bumdrage....how much is he going to want to travel to face Brook? Alexander - LOL.....just got whitewashed by Khan. That would be a horrific PR disaster if he was Brook's big summer opponent. Rios is kinda underwhelming I agree but he's a name, has HBO backing and is an exciting fighter that people want to watch. I would prefer Marquez but the others you listed are unrealistic. Bradley should be attempted to be made at least. Has Maidana ruled himself out?

My preferences are many, realistically, with the right big money offer and the right venue, Brook could and should be getting someone like Thurman, Bradley, JMM, Maidana or Alexander. These are all names viable for a "big" fight and with the money Hearn has at his disposal, there's no way these fights can't be made financially. Rios would have been a good tune up. Nothing more.

How about he's actually coming off a win? :lol1: Choosing Alwxander would not only be a pathetic cherry pick it would also be a guaranteed stinker. They are putting Brook on PPV and Alwxander is simply not PPV worthy. ok so as long as your coming off a win your a good fighter, doesnt matter if your fighting the best or not.

what has Rios done to prove he is better than devon alexander at any weight or any stage of his career?

what has Rios done to prove he is better than devon alexander at any weight or any stage of his career? He's beat domestic legend jon Murray and some guy who quit against an Algieri victim.

Devon Alexander? :lol1: you must be having a laugh. In what world is he a better opponent than Brandon Rios? It's obvious they tried to get JMM over but he probably either prices himself out or didn't want to go to the UK. Haymon doesn't want Thurman to go to the UK, Bradley is fighting an eliminator to face Brook and Khan is ducking. Considering all, Rios is a good fighter coming off a good win and always brings the heat. Goes to war. Alexander.. Haha. He got completely out hustled by the guy Brook just schooled. And then lost to the guy that is now ducking Brook. what has Rios done to prove he is better than devon alexander at any weight or any stage of his career?

eddie hearn really fcking about now, kell should jump from him,he is never gonna get the big fights he "wants" while whit hearn, iv no respect for brook or khan until they step up and fight the big names in the division,and not fckin rios, i mean thurman,bradley, either way their name and/or titles they hold/will hold will mean nothing if they avoid thurman and bradley

Who would you prefer?

Broner, Bradley, would say Maidana but he's sumo mode. Broner wasn't willing to fight Khan at 147 and requested a catch-weight, but you think he'll go up to 147 to fight a bigger, stronger, better fighter in Brook? Bradley has reportedly been in talks to fight Vargas and will be a mandatory for Brook's title next, a situation that would only entitle him to 25% of the purse. I hate the Gavin fight, but a Rios fight is fine.

So kell brook's next opponent is BUM # 34. Its funny people say Jo jo Dan is mandatory and cant see Brook's opponents from beginning till now all are BUMS (except porter).

Gavin is terrible, he is marginally better that Jo Jo Dan. I honestly believe that Brook wanted to fight Khan but Hearn whispered in his ear first AND Khan didn't want the fight. A fight with 'Funtime' Frankie keeps Brook busy, also keeps Gavin happy (for a few weeks) and is an easy fight for Hearn to make. Khan definitely has a long term plan, but every decent fight he misses out on takes him further away from the type of preparation he would need if he ever did land a fight with Floyd, Manny or Brook. if you look at these guys last 3 opponents plus their next fight; Brook - Robles, Porter, Dan, Gavin. Khan - Diaz, Collazo, Alexander, Algieri. Neither of these guys are exactly taking any huge risks with their careers (apart from Brook beating Porter in the US). The key difference is momentum, Brook has it whereas Khan is slipping further away from the limelight.
