    I much rather he fight Vargas then at least he gets something out if it. Vargas has fought at the weight and has a title.

    Peterson hasnt even fought at 147 yet...the guy doesn't deserve a title shot.
    Definitely not.

    But I can smell that fight is coming.

      I wonder what Brooks contractual situation is with Hearn

      I really feel Brook would a perfect fit with Haymon and Al would bend over backwards for him.

      I don't feel Brook can carry on like this, it's obvious that Hearn is out of his depth.

      From the vibe i got from Dominic Ingle, i feel they are frustrated with Hearn

      I know Brook is loyal, but time is flying by and there isnt much on the table, its time he re-evaluates his future with Matchroom.

      Brook has the style, and the looks to be a star across the pond

        Of course it is Brook's dream fight.

        Some people forget that boxing is prize fighting.

        'No thanks...I don't want all that money!' said no boxer ever.

        I would go as far as to say that no decent professional boxer between 147-160 would turn down a fight with Cotto. Some terrible fighters would fight him too.

          It will probably take Hearn to tell Brook that he should do a similar deal as Degale, Selby, Frampton etc.

          Not sure if that'll happen, but it would be a real shame if Brook keeps fighting over matched opponents.

            Hearn really has no pulling power at 147

            Haymon and Arum own all the cards

            They don't need Brook

            Haymon may throw Hearn a bone with a dispensable fighter like Petterson, but he's not going to give him Thurman.

            This really does suck.

            Degale did the right thing and it's paying off beautifully for him, thats why he is always smiling

            Brook doesnt seem upbeat anymore, you can hear the frustration in his voice.

              Sorry to say but you guys are talking some truth as regarding how slow Hearn has moved Kell along...I find myself wishing he were 3-4 years younger....

              But a liar? I don't see how you can call Hearn that. Did he protect Kell because of a perceived threat to his cash cow? Yes, but he was new to promoting. They both want the big fights and I think Martin's purse against Joshua proves that Hearn's side is willing to put up the money to get the fights.

                      Freddie Roach also confirmed that they turned the Brook fight down.
