    To be honest, his level of opposition is getting ridiculous now. He needs to step it up ASAP or it seems it doesn't have faith in his (good) ability.

    He needs to have some harsh words with Hearn ASAP.

      Kell Brook walks all over him, knocks him out

      I'd favor the following boxers to beat Tim...: Thurman, Khan, Garcia,

      I actually think Algieri has a good shot at beating Tim

      What has Tim shown at 147? apart for beating a washed up JMM?


      Thurman is a much more difficult fight for Brook
      Tim has looked good technically but since the Provo fight his punch resistance has gone down

        He's not cut out for 147.

        He hasnt dominated anyone at 147, his 3 fights with Pac were all losses if we are being honest.

        He beat a faded JMM and that was no easy fight for him

        He went to war with Provo, who he should have outclassed

        Similar thing happened with Vargas

        Financially moving up was a good move, but as far as looking good, he hasnt looked good

          I will dis-agree with some of your points. I agree that he lost all of the Pac fights but he didn't get blown out or came out disfigured like most do.

          He lost only the last round to Vargas, he decided to trade against Provo and the JMM is not a thing to down play, Tim style was all wrong for him.

          Look at Tim's resume and is the best WW resume out there. Tim was fighting heavier as an amateur. Don't let his short height fool you

            No he doesn't the only ranked WW he beat was JMM, the only ranked WW JMM beat was Pacquiao, people say Pacquiao isn't a real WW.

              Bradley is all wrong for Brook in my opinion. Bradley likes to stand and trade leather and Brook has a hard fast accurate straight right and he would hurt Bradley and maybe finish him. Bradley hasn't much power to threaten Brook. Thurman is slicker than Bradley. He punches much harder than Bradley and has more reach. I think Thurman would be the harder fight for Brook.

                Bradley's next fight is most likely a rematch with Vargas. Vargas would leave Arum if he doesn't get his rematch. Thurman vs Brook will not be happening any time soon being One Time vs Porter has yet to happen.

                So I'm not into fights that can't be realistically made at the moment. I'd rather focus on fighters' availability and lacking in promotional issues. Therefore, there's Garcia, Cotto (assuming team Brook wasn't joking), Vargas will take it and probably willing to postpone his Bradley rematch obsession. Who else?

                I doubt team Brook will do anything right now, except to wait for Khan, Khan, Khan...
