    Brook wouldn't fight him.

    Bizier then onto the huge summer PPV he has been craving with Mike Avacado.

There are enough quality WW's available for high profile fights that Brook doesn't have to fight Cotto.

      Brook isn't GGG who can't get any top tier opponents in his division to fight him.

      it's time to stop having fights that do not advance a division. FFS every division other than HWT is standing still while champions will not fight any contenders in the division.
      Dont think Brook will give up belt but he can move up a few pounds, doesnt have to go full 154, fight Cotto and if he gets the victory then a fight with either of the names you mentioned will be huge.

        Cotto's a bigger name but is also coming off a loss. I'd prefer a unification with Garcia and that would be against two unbeaten fighters and he could in some kinda way get one up on Khan by giving Garcia his first loss. However I rate Garcia highly and he finds a way to win so I wouldn't be surprised of Garcia won; especially considering his very good on the backfoot

          Cotto said himself back in the day that he only moved up because of the bigger fights. Brook has to train for 16 weeks to make 147. He's really a 154er too.

          At the very least they are the same kind of size. Brook is enormous at the weight.

          So either way, I definitely won't feel like size would be an advantage to Cotto in this fight - Brook is headed for 154 anyway.

            Future HOF ok but dont know about legend

              I like that fight a lot too. But I can't help but feel it doesn't make sense for Garcia. Not because of the threat from Brook, but if he could unify vs Porter/Thurman that would be a bigger money fight for him - and potentially less risk . Especially if Porter wins.

              I'd like to see that fight a lot though. Brook would have to travel to make it.

                He's a legend of his era no? I would say so.

                People are just crapping on him for his stint at 160, they forget the beast he was before.

                  He'd offer Brook travel expenses and a sandwich.
                  If it's dual PPV and each keep their own money?

                    Any fight less than solid world championship level in the summer, and I'm done.
