Hope he doesn't duck but he's got a very long track record of doing so now - Bradley, Rios, Thurman - he ducked out of negotiations with all of them too. It's insane how many fighters Brook has ducked so far, I'd strongly advise him to stop ducking because he'll just throw his career away and the guy has some talent so it's sad to see ducking this consistent and unrelenting.
    LOL he actually called out Cotto and Pacquioa out in 09 as he was WBO mandatory or high in the ranking.

    7 years on his only big fight was Shaun Porter, which was quite close.

    Personally think he is going for Maywethers record of 49 - 0 but withtomatoes cans lol joke but he really needs to be fighting better opponents.

    As much as Danny Garcia has been called a cherry picker, he has beat Khan, Lucus Matthysse, Petterson, Guerrero etc which is not a bad list.

      I'll be surprised if the fight gets made. Brook isn't built like that!

          They said huge fights and named Jessie Vargas there. I mean he's a champion, he holds a title, but that's not a huge fight.

          Anyway I would like to see Cotto vs Brook.

            I really hope this get's made. If Cotto's next fight is PPV then this is way better then any of the names we been hearing about. I think they realize that Kirkland would be a terrible choice nobody will buy that PPV.

              Great fight but wont get made, hearn mentioned that they have been contacted but at same time states they dont seem interested?? So why did they contact you?? To waste your time? Hearn gonna kill the fight with ****** contractual demands... Rios didnt stand for it, cotto definatly wont! But u kell need to get a massive fight this year... And as someone said... NOT JESSIE VARGAS!

                That loss to Bradley and razor thin decisions made Jessie a non block buster, but Kell has less to show for his zero. Carson Jones beat his a$$ and got robbed. Then they gave Carson the rematch in Kell's living room, after they tightened the mat a little. Jessie is fighting better competition, but it wouldn't sell.

                  Cotto was under the impression Brook's attack was a recent occurrence and that he was still recovering. Naturally any previous interest immediately faded away once it was discovered Brook's leg was 100% rehabilitated.

                    Even though Cotto is past his best, this would be better than Vargas
