    Brook needs to get one more big win on his resume to make the Mayweather bout interesting.

    Khan
    Marquez
    Thurman

    If he beats on of those guys, then I think a Mayweather clash is inevitable next year.

      Khan vs Brook is a bigger fight IN THE UK, than Brook vs Mayweather. Khan is a household name here in the UK, known by all the casuals and non-Boxing fans. They have legit beef too, which sells. Why wouldn't Mayweather wait for Khan to win his next fight vs Guerrero/Alexander (potentially) then fight him in May? More money to be made for him by fighting Khan than Brook, despite a title which he does not really care for.

      Brook is also most likely fighting a mandatory this year too according to Hearn.

        The ref told Porter "No hitting behind the head" like 20 times, but never took a point away or even gave a stern warning.

        Also, when Porter rammed his head repeatedly in Brook's chest and rammed his shoulders into his stomach like a football tackle, the ref didn't say a damn thing. He would instead tell Brook to stop holding, when clearly Porter attempted to tackle Brook back to England the whole fight. He thought he was in his football days.

          lol people don't even know who Kell Brook is outside of Sheffield. Lets be honest he's not as popular as Amir Khan, not even close. They think of Kelly Brook the model when you talk of Brook.

          I can still see Mayweather fighting him, cause he doesn't has the style to trouble Floyd while Khan has a Nightmare style for Mayweather.

          Tells you that Mayweather hasn't even fought a fast fighter since 2006.

            I think a lot of people actually think Kelly Brook is Kell Brook lol.

              Bad style matchup. Will be a snoozefest. Both will just stand on the outside playing a game of "tag you're it". Not to mention both fighters have a low punch output. I'd rather see Floyd/Khan. Khan will make Floyd work.

                One of my mates asked me who was fighting and I said Kell Brook.

                His response was "Has she started boxing now?"

                    If it's such a huge fight, you'd think you'd be able to get one of the participant's name right
