Brook going to fight another bum?

[Ray*]

Brooks team have gone silent for some odd reason...Rios has had no word back from them..

They decided Rios was too good of an opponent and are no going in another direction.

That's would be ****** of them, unless they have a better opponent lined up then they would get major criticism for this, when you claim someone is ducking you then you better have good opponents lined up.

I wouldn't be surprised if he fought Van Heerden. Van Heerden super pumped right now... ranked in the IBf and pretty much everybody busy.
Wale most likely out of IBF ratings by now, nobody would watch a Jo Jo Dan rematch.... Bizier is a goddamn joke and I could see him waiting and hoping for Floyd to drop the WBC.... Ima roll with Van Heerden

Yea funny they're pretty much under paying rios so if it's not floyd then it will be some other domestic scrub. Nothing but tha best beybehh

The number that Matchroom has offered Rios for the fight , according to Eddie Hearn himself, is already in the seven figueres, so I'm not sure about the "underpaying" point.

You add the fact that the IBF is pretty consistent in enforcing the "can only defend the title against one of our top 15 challenengers" rule, so that kind of rules out "some other domestic scrub" as you put it.

Shawn Porter(IBF #5), Fredrick Lawson(IBF #12), Chris Van Heerden(IBF #13), and possibly Sammy Vasquez Jr(IBF#15, replacing current #15 Wale Omotoso) are the likely names in the mix, unless Brook ends up getting the Mayweather fight. Call those guys scrubs if you want.

Change my mind... either Frederick Lawson or Van Heerden. Lawson might get picked because he has that high KO ratio and that comes off as dangerous... but he didn't really impress with Prescott or Narh... Prescott got close and he's faded as ***

He's not fighting Porter again

yes all those other names are indeed scrubs...

and Rios was made an offer, and he said he was happy with it, so Brook and co have backed out

Now unless its Floyd, anything else besides Bradley and Porter, it is a step down....

Vasquez Jr, Chris Van Heerden, give me a ****in break, jesus

Yes the mighty chris van heerden. If he can only fight the top 15 then why is he calling out khan who isn't ranked by ibf

[b00g13man]

If only Khan wasn't running scared...

[Dirk Diggler UK]

The only reason the Rios fight wouldn't come off is because Bum Bum would be ducking.

He's been offered a large amount of money and a world title fight. Looks like he's considering taking the other option Arum gave him which was to fight on the TR PPV card.

After all that **** he talked. He must be realising that Brook will make him cry again.

[HanzGruber]

Roberto Garcia is in the top 15 ibf. Brook will fight him if he can make weight

[Scipio2009]

Yes the mighty chris van heerden. If he can only fight the top 15 then why is he calling out khan who isn't ranked by ibf

... you should probably go and take another look.
