    I wouldn't be surprised if brook beat Garcia as well. People not as good as brook have already nearly beat him.

      I do believe Brook would fight anybody. The problem is the IBF have been making terrible mandatories for him too, and Hearn more than happy to accept them.

      Jo Jo Dan was his first mandatory, so that can't be helped. Same with his Bizier fight. He wanted Khan in the ring last year but he wouldn't so ended up doing a stay busy fight with Gavin. All his after a career threatening injury/attack.

      He does need to step it up again after the Bizier fight though, there's no excuses after this one.

      If the IBF keep giving him rubbish mandatories, he's better off dropping the belt and going on without it. He brings good money to the table anyway and recognised as one of the better welterweights out there, he'll get good fights without the belt if him and Hearn want them. This year is really make or break for him in becoming a big name in the boxing world.

        promoters and belt organizations often work hand and hand to manipulate the rankings to their liking. eitehr in moving their guy up the rankings or making sure bad fighters get to the top. i wouldn't be surprised if that is why brook is getting so many easy fights. either that or the guys getting a shot at brook have very good promoters themselves.

          No doubt.

          Well as i said, Hearn probably doesn't care too much. If Brook is serious about wanting to fight the best then it's probably going to be a case of Hearn not getting it all his own way.

          It will be the same with Joshua if he wins the title. Hearn has already basically said he will defend the belt against the same guys he would be fighting anyway, i.e. not top level heavyweights. Hearn is in tight with the IBF. They will feed AJ a few easy mandatories for a bit.

            Solid fight at 147, I hope it happens Hearn + Haymon= fight. I got Brook winning this one if it happens.

              I'm not sleeping on Kell because of his resume. It's prima facie evidence. Danny hasn't had it so easy, or cozy at home. It's hard to go with a guy who keeps all that "skill" so well protected.

                Really?

                Garcia-Brook doesn't seem to far fetched to me. Al Haymon is matching up his elite welterweight really though (See Canelo-Khan & Thurman-Porter). Danny vs Kelly make it happen, i like that sht. It's been a while since the last time DSG was an underdog. Kid shines under pressure, son.

                    Unfortunately, Brook and Khan's respective fights are not too far apart. Trust me, he'll be back to begging for the Khan fight when the Canelo fight is over.

                      I spoke to Paulie Malignaggi the other day, he told me Brook was the best WW in the world and he could also be the best 154'er.
