    Kell Brook vs Keith Thurman in the UK

    I think that's an interesting matchup that could generate a nice payday for both guys. Assuming Thurman is willing to travel.

    Or is Conor Benn a better choice for Brook? Or perhaps retirement now if he doesn't want more money?

      Brook vs Benn, Brook vs Thurman, Brook vs Eubank Junior all big fights.

      Personally I would like to see Brook vs Benn or Eubank Junior.

      Maybe Brook vs Benn can happen at 154 pounds.

      That was a solid performance from Brook tonight, measured, calculated and controlled.

        Brook has no business at that leve nowl. He should retire and also is Thurman at 154 then?

        I'm not sure who I'd be comfortable seeing Kell in the ring with that would generate big interest. Maybe a fairly green, not too big, and improving Connor Benn.

        But even then that could end badly.

          Idk why people keep bringing up brook against WW's. Can brook even make 147? This fight with con was at a catchweight. I see him staying at 154

            Rusty Thurman is the strongest opponent rusty Brook can beat right now. Brook should stay away from others.

                I’d watch.

                But he will probably go with Eubank or Benn, whoever pays more.

                  I was also thinking Brook vs Benn at 154 would be a good next step for both UK guys. Brook was 3-0 at 154 before going down to 147 for Crawford, and he won at 149 against Khan. He would be better back at 154. Benn would be the younger man, but his win against Algieri isn't that impressive, and he's never fought above 147.

                  If Brook can beat Benn at 154, then he can have a farewell fight against Eubank at 160.

                    Yes that is what I am thinking, all of those fights are big fights 'And would create a massive spark'.

                    Big business, big events this is what people and even the fighters want.

                    Brook has been world champion, so there is no point in chasing titles.

                    I personally enjoy these type of fights, sometimes more than title fights. I like grudge matches or intense rivalries 'If titles come with those events great'.
