Are you surprised Brook is ducking Thurman?

[Outwest Exp 355]

Then don't challenge guys on live TV that you have no intention of fighting. It hypes up a fight in the fans head, then when you don't follow through on it, who's the one that looks suspect? Common sense.

Him being a champ for a week has nothing to do with anything. He's already mentioning weak ass names to fight in his home country. That has Danny Garcia written all over it.

Nobody knows who's next for Kell. Your just being a prick just to be a prick

OMGZ he said Keith Thurman's name!

So much idiocy on here.

You'd be happy with Brook beating up a bunch of cab drivers for his next 3-5 fights, as long as it was in the UK, and in a giant venue like Wembley Stadium.

It always happens like this when it's one of your countrymen.

"Leave him alone!"

He called him out. You're obviously not a bipartisan fan.

Do you think "calling out" actually means anything?

And he didn't call him out anyway. He specifically said the words "I'm not shouting anyone out" before he mentioned the names of Thurman, Mayweather and Amir Khan.

Your knickers got moist at the mention of Thurman's name that you didn't even listen to the whole interview.

Nope, I'm saying don't bring up someone's name, then have your promoter rattle off a bunch of tomato cans for you to look good against in your home country.

How is that even acceptable as a champ? OMG, I finally fought a true test, got the belt, now it's my time to relax and take a soft ball fight. WTF!?

Isn't it usually when you're the champ, that you have a big bulls eye on your back, and you have to train even harder, because of all the killers that are gunning for you now?

He also mentioned Mayweather and Khan...these are fights he wants to have.

He first has his homecoming fight in Sheffield, then probably Khan. After that Thurman/Mayweather could be possible - it's not ducking when there are more important, better and richer fights to take care of first.

No I'm just not an absolute spastic who can't understand that there's a lot more to the business of making fights than people saying other people's names.

Brook-Thurman could be a big fight but right now it pretty much means nothing and the money available for it isn't worth it to make now. It's not hard to understand. No one knows who the *** Keith Thurman is here or in America.

You sound like a scared Brook fan.

And I never said one time that Thurman was going to beat him. It's a 50/50 fight through and through.

OK then, if he doesn't at least fight Khan next, than even you'd admit he's not being a true champ right?

[Lalaland]

Who is Keith Thurman? Is he a country singer?

Cute outlook...but this is the real world.
