I watched Kevin Bizier's last fight and while Lawson isn't more than a fringe contender, the Canadian didn't look half bad. If his chin holds up, he could give Brook problems. Big if.
No doubt Eddie wanted the fight bad. After all he is a UK promoter looking to make the biggest UK fights possible and Khan Brook is just that.
But let's not pretend there aren't big fights out there for Brook still. Just not Wembley big. But same goes for Khan too in the UK
Thing with Flash Eddie is, he's perfect for the likes of Crolla, Smith brothers etc.
Fighters that are really British Level but he can worm his way into getting them world title shots and then hoping for the best.
He's proven he's fantastic at that, he's already made a few people world champs who IMO would have never gotten anywhere close without him.
However, for a fighter like Kell Brook, who is a world class fighter and doesn't need to fool the British public, Hearn is holding him back badly.
Brook has already proven he can mix it at world level, going to Porters back yard and beating him was a fantastic win. What he's done after that is just basically waste Brook's prime years. He can lie to the public all he wants with his mandatory bs but Bizier, JoJo Dan and Gavin are all awful fights.
Hearn is wasting away Brook's prime years. Kell is more than good enough to mix it at the top level and that's exactly what he should be doing. Hearn has IMO done an awful job with Brook.
Where is all the Kell Brook fans accusing Khan of ducking and being scared lol the question remains is after Kell fights this next bum opponent he has got lined up will he be man enough to fight anyone decent in the welterweight division or will he just do what he has done with the majority of his career and just live off of hype with absolutely no proof to back the hype?
I think Eddie Hearn will see sense in making a Frankie Gavin rematch that will be a huge box office hit and as Eddie says "Its what the British public want to see"
Their cornflakes have been shat on.
Diego Chaves, Thurman/Porter winner, or Danny Garcia are the likely main options. Chaves will head to England and, based on the type of package put together, the other two champions may be willing to travel as well.

As a Brook fan I believe Kell would beat Khan easily if they fought. But having said that I am beginning to have my doubts if Kell has the Mental toughness or the Xtreme self Belief that almost borders on the delusional that Khan has.
Amir Khan has comeback from, defeats, major beatings and disappointments.
I am not sure that if Kell Brook loses he will be able to rise back up....Despite his talent and World class skills there is something wrong here mentally and a lack of confidence. Otherwise he would have dumped this Joker Eddie Hearns a while ago.
