    brook should strongly consider retiring. Not too many get to retire on a win

      If there's enough money in it, I'd like to see Kell beat Benn at 150 and then retire

        If Brook decides to have a final scrap then he's earned the right to finish off with a catchweight.

        Especially when you consider the standing of the 2 names 'in the running' and a 17 year career largely making 147 and most recently performing like that at 148.5 on the scales.

        Benn hasn't even won an area title and Eubank Jnr's won the square root of Jack! So who are they to dictate terms?

        Fighting at anything less that 154 and Brook's doing himself a huge, unnecessary injustice.

        Wouldn't mind seeing the Benn fight at a healthy catchweight, but have no complaints if he decides to call it a day after last Saturday night. Either call, he needs to tell that little pr*ck Hearn to get 147 out of his head now.

          The brass neck on this c***. What a hypocrite…
          Nobody chats more shit in boxing than Eddie Hearn

            Broke can't make 147. Did you see the state of him at the Khon weigh-in? His best move is to retire as he has very little left. But if his greed gets the better of him then he needs a fight at 154. If Hearn is gonna pay millions and make a Benn fight at 150-151 then who knows.

              Slave trader junior chucked Brooke under the bus against ggg to save his show & line his pockets & recently projected his own disloyalty on Brooke.
              Brooke should retire unless he's offered 8 figure's.

                Hearn needs to come up with around the same money for Brook as when he fought Khan and he said he didn't want to get involved with two finished fighters for 'the kind of money they are asking for' which makes little sense but Hearn doesn't often make sense. If Brook takes the fight it will be on his terms at 150lbs for around £4 m otherwise he'll probably consider Eubank Jr for the same amount at around 158lbs.....I'd like Brook to hammer the pair of deluded loud mouths but because of weight Benn would be the right option.

                  Brook looked terrible against khan and am so glad that he won. Now he's about to get paid gate keeping. not mad at him at all

                    Benn said he could go as high as 154 for Eubank, he walks about at middleweight, 150 for Brook sounds fine for both never heard anyone suggest 147.

                      Brook did so well last week, because of the animosity between him and Amir. He didn’t even seem that driven for his fights with Spence & Crawford! I’d rather Kell retires and Conor faces somebody around his own level.
