If Garcia, Cotto, Thurman and Bradley can't be made - which imo makes Eddie Hearn useless
who of the following would you like to see Brook in the ring with
Some of these guys are coming off the back of losses, some have very little experience at 147 and others are still green
I derp'd and selected Spence by mistake. Meant to pick Vargas only because it's the only unification match in the poll. Spence is the toughest matchup on paper but I would still favor Brook, Spence may still be too green for Brook who's peaking right now.
IF Spence is the real deal, Brook would probably want to fight him now rather than in a years time when he is even more better
Catch him early while you can still beat him

I think it will be Peterson or Algieri, if he happens to beat Spence. A huge block in the making many of the fights in the poll options will be travelling to the UK. I don't think Brook will go to the UK, cause Hearn is making him more money than Arum or Haymon would offer him for coming to the US.
The reason I think it would be Peterson or Algieri is that Peterson didn't look to good in his last fight and is probably easy work for Brook while having experience as champ at 140.
Algieri was a champ at 140 and would come over to the UK with a lesser demand of money than many of the fighters above. I'm sure Hearn would like to have a comparison to Khan and if Brook would beat him easily that could produce some pressure on the Khan side to make the fight.
Provodnikov won't happen. He will need some recovery after a hard brawl. Also his new contract with Showtime wouldn't make him likely to go to the UK.
I don't think Spence would come over to the UK, Haymon wants to build him up more.
Porter won't happen, has a fight booked and would take too long to make the Brook fight.
Chaves has a fight booked, or there were serious discussions at least.
Vargas is obsessed to get Bradley. He won't risk that and he wouldn't come to the UK, probably because of judges...
How about some other uk bum? I didn't see that option on the list.
That's exactly who he will be fighting next another no hoped. But he will be calling everyone out
No one wonders why Thurman is not in the list. I'm not surprised.
Didn't Brook just recently say he's praying for Khan to beat Canelo, "to keep our fight alive"? LOL. He actually thinks Khan would fight him next.
Khan has been snubbing him because of his penchant for picking cab drivers. And he expects Khan, who's fighting the top guy in an alien weight, to embrace him next after fighting Bizier. The guy has nerves.
If Spence walks over Algieri, then yes Brook might as well fight him, if it's on the table
Peterson didnt impress me in his last outing, he's beginning to look like a shot fighter, like Guerrero and Lopez. Brook will knock him out, especially at 147. I would take Chaves over Peterson
There are rumors Hearn is going to pit a b level fighter against Brook next and promise the fans a big fight at the end of the year....sound familiar?
Following Hearns current pattern of matching Brook with somebody else's bum left overs, he will match Brook with Frederick Lawson next.
I'd be seriously shocked if they can secure a fight with Garcia.
Vargas i can see happening, but there is a chance Arum is lining him up for the Pac vs Bradley winner
Brook is sitting on the bench, while everyone else is making the big money
He better start thinking of finding new management or a new promoter
He has been sitting on the bench too long. After the Porter fight I thought that he was going to do better things but he hasn't. He waited too long and now Floyd is retired and Pac is about to go. All his waiting around did not secure him big meaningful fights
I would say spence, just so I can see Brook dismantle and humble the overhyped prospect..
Also, Brook beats everyone on the poll, and none are close.... Brook bottom half of p4p..

Come on man, he fought Leonard Bundu's left overs in Frankie Gavin. He fought Selcuk Ayden's left overs with Jo Jo Dan. He fought Jo Jo Dan's left overs with Kevin Bizier, which means he will fight Fredrick Lawson next. Yes, that is right, he will avoid the actual viable IBF ranked contenders, and pick out another stiff to fight. :bs2:
I think the Vargas fight would reveal a lot on both sides. Vargas has shown plenty but a win over Brook vaults him up quite a bit.
A win over Vargas for Brook means the Brit gets a step closer to being considered elite. The Porter win was nice, but there's been nothing since. Great careers are built off of quality opponents. I'm not blaming Brook. I'm sure he wants to step it up and this would be a great chance against an opponent who is at the right place in his career for such a move.
Vargas has very little power, he has 10 KO's, on top of that he is small.
Brook KO's him within 5 rounds and it doesn't prove anything.
The only plus side of that fight is the title, but it could be a negative because it would mean Brook has to fight more worthless mando's. Fighting more mando's does nothing for Brook, it further derails his career.
Brook is with the wrong team, if he were with Haymon he would have landed a big fight by now.
If i were in Brooks position, i'd gun for the Spence/Algieri winner, followed by Vargas (only because he has a title), or i'd move up.
Khan is fighting Canelo for millions, and Brook the IBF title holder is fighting B and C level opponents for crumbs. Brook needs to leave Hearn.
It won't be Spence Jr, he just fought his Mandatory so IBF probably won't order him to fight his Mandatory until next year.
I would love to see a Unification Bout between him and Danny Garcia, that is a HUGE FIGHT. More realistic match up I would say Robert Guerrero or Lamont Peterson. If Algeiri beats Spence Jr I could see Brook vs Algeiri that would be a Solid fight also!
If Algeiri beats Spence, then yes Brook should fight him next.
I think it's clear that Brook will not land a big fight this year.
Brook's last three fights,
Jo jo Dan
Frankie Gavin
Kevin Bizier
...tried to fight Rios and Chaves.
He'll most likely fight the Berto/Ortiz winner.
This guy is a huge joke.
BRAAAAH i would fckin LOVE to see Danny "Swift" Garcia in a unification bout against Kelly "The Especial One" Brooks @T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, sht is PPV wothy, son.
