    I think he would quite fancy it, like i said Brook demolishes Spence...2 to 5 rounds tops
    I'll bet all my points on Spence if Brook sacks up and takes the fight.

    Fighting the Jo Jo Dans of the world isn't doing Brook any favors.

      This is one of the fights the WW division needs to finally start establishing a hierarchy for the post Floyd/Manny era.

      War Spence!!! Bring that belt home.
      Brook has literally just fought his mando so doubt they will enforce it soon.

      Brook will be looking at Thurman/Porter/Garcia/Broner most likely. Unfortunately for Spence, Brook is in a position where he is desperate for a name opponent. Fighting an up and comer, especially one as dangerous as Spence, is probably not on the agenda I wouldn't have thought.

        If its going to happen, it has to happen this year imo

        After his win over Bizier, Brook pointed out that it's hard to make 147.
        They may fight at 154... Spence doesn't even make 147 regularly -- he was 147 1/2 on the scales.

        It would be a fun fight. Brook would clinch Spence to death...

          Well if Brook does indeed fight Thurman, Porter, Garcia, or even Broner I don't think anyone will still say he is holding the belt hostage.

            Good fight, Spence looks the goods. That said, i think Brook would be too much for him right now.

              They are both huge welterweights.

                Definitely not. I think all of these guys are around the same level (minus Broner who has decent casual following). Spence has just inducted himself into the group, but his following doesnt match his talent yet. For Brook who has mugged himself off chasing a Khan fight (and ending up fighting crap for a year or more) needs an opponent who fans recognize soon.

                  When was this?

                  Did he have to re-weigh for the Algieri fight?

                      Exactly. Spence is a big WW. He'll be a 154 lber sooner than later.
