Is Brook being primed to be a Mayweather opponent?

[Dr Rumack]

Doubt it. Outside of Manny and Cotto, only Haymon fighters will get a shot at Floyd before his second retirement.

[boliodogs]

They are just promoting Brook as best they can. Everybody is trying to get a fight with Mayweather because of the money it brings and the prestige if they beat him. Mayweather has his work cut out beating Pacquiao before worrying about his next opponent and it's not easy work. Brook has as much chance of fighting the Pacquiao-Mayweather winner as anybody.

How? Floyds going to have to rematch Manny in China.

[have_not]

I hope floyd will fight brook next but I highly doubt it.
I think brook will do well against floyd, actually I would bet on brook.
if not brook i hope it will be khan, I think he also has a good chance to beat floyd if his chin holds up.
they are two athletic boxers that are fast and strong with good boxing skills and have the same size as floyd.
But the fight that would be huge is the relativ small golovkin vs floyd at a catchweight

[zmm001]

I think people really overrate Kells drawing power they were struggling to sellout his home coming fight after coming back from a potential career ending injury even though it was against an unknown you'd expect it sellout real quick and it didn't.

Brook could be a possibility. It all depends on what Mayweather wants to for his final fight of his six-fight contract he signed back in 2013 with Showtime. Could he try and make history by being the only welterweight to hold all four sanctioning body belts? Or could he try and coax a rematch to fight Cotto to garner himself another title in a sixth division and also capture another lineal title? I am not sure but if he wants to be officially called undisputed, Brook would be the guy. Other than holding the IBF, however, there isn't one fight or victory that would cause the general boxing public to say: "Yes, match Brook with Mayweather." Finally, this all depends on the result of the May 2nd matchup. We shall see...

**** all this. Andrade vs mayweAther for money's final fight

Floyd won't fight a guy like Andrade at 154lbs. Floyd will only fight outside of 147lbs. for a fighter that's a draw. Andrade hasn't beaten anyone yet and would more than likely try to price himself out anyway since he's delusional in thinking he's worth more than he really is.

[Fists_of_Fury]

My dream scenario after Floyd beats Manny would be as of right now: Beat Cotto for the lineal middleweight title. Khan fights Brook and then the winner fights Floyd. Then Floyd can retire Undefeated 50-0, Lineal in 3 simultaneous weight classes, and Undisputed Welterweight King.

Think about it...he fits the mould of a Floyd opponent and has all the little selling points that Floyd likes.

He's undefeated - "young strong lion"
He's the only other belt holder in the division outside of Mayweather/Pacquiao.
He would bring his huge sheffield following to Vegas.
He's making a good name for himself in the UK and people will tune in on TV for sure.

but most of all, Showtime have started broadcasting his fights...part of an agenda, trying to get his name out there a little bit more?

I think Mayweather beats him without much problem anyway, i think Brook is too orthodox and predictable for Floyd and they probably know it too. but that's irrelevant to my point which is... you know Floyd and his team know how to grease a squeaky wheel. They could use all those little selling points, undefeated, champ, beat Porter in USA, UK Fanbase etc..they could hype all that up and make it a very sellable fight like they do best.

so they giving that foo Amir another soft touch in Algieri

they clearly tryna save himself for Mayweather in September

good thing Floyd got standards for his next opponent. you gotta be coming off a meaningful victory
