Comments Thread For: Brook: After I Beat Golovkin, Not Sure I'll Return To 147 For Spence

[richardt]

brook didn't choose either guy over the other....spence still had to win a mandatory when this fight with ggg was announced...before that, he was in talks to fight vargas, so if anything he choose ggg over vargas.

now spence is his madatory, so after he loses to genady, brook has to decide if he wants that work, or is willing to drop the ibf and fight amir khan insted.

Brook clearly gave it some thought to decide whether to move up or stay at welterweight where he knew Spence would become the mandatory if he won the eliminator which everyone knew he would and would be facing Spence. He didn't have to read the tea leaves to know he would be facing Spence next if he stayed at Welterweight. So yes, the choice was there as to what his next move was, Spence or GGG, that much is certain.

Pretty convenient time to skip the IBF mandatory. Just saying...

He just said a week ago he was coming back to welter afterwards. I don't know what the hell is gonna happen.

I wonder will Brook jump up another two weights when Spence is mandated to him at 154 or 160.

And you think someone in their right mind would choose to be hit by G than Spencer?

I think it is a great business move.
Nothing to loose, a recognition to gain plus good money.

That's my point, Brook would much rather be hit by Spencer than GGG but the money was too great to pass up.

Dont know why they are letting Andre Ward off for blatantly ducking Klitchko and Fury. If Brook is willing to move up 2 weight divisions then surely Ward should too. Even Kell Brook is willing to show how its done when he beats GGG to go and fight Tyson.

true that, GGG needs to man up and go and fight Stevenson and kovalev and ward at 175.
