    Brook is still a champion at 147, that fight will be on the table soon enough for huge money.
    Amir has never wanted that fight.

      Only because it will always be there (his words, not mind). Eventually he'll cash that chip in, probably next year.

      Brook's 30, he just earned $4-5m, the HBO boss mentioned a Canelo fight to Hearn and there's the Khan fight in the background.

      If that's going downhill, I can imagine a few boxers who would trade places with him.

        There was an article where Amir said he would never fight Brook. I would like to see that fight but i don't think it'll ever happen.

            Lara almost got stopped by a shot Angulo who was throwing punches so slow I had to put my tv on fast forward to make it look like in real time.

            The Jermell fight was decent and Vanes looked hungry but he did what a lot of fighters do and that's stick to making a fight ugly. Thats sort of his calling card. Its why he can sneak rounds.

            If anything Vanes is overrated, with his best win being...I dunno, SMith?

              Best win is probably Willie Nelson. Vanes is pretty skilled he doesn't have great speed or power but he's good at everything.

                GGG looked like **** and he couldn't even go halfway. He gets hyped for landing a couple flurries even though GGG's defense is somewhere in between Gatti's and Margarito's.
                Thats harsh...

                  Assuming he gets a Khan fight at 154, I wonder how much more he'll want to do after that. He's had a 12 year pro career already where he's won a world title and sold out his home town arena several times. What more is he realistically going to achieve?

                    On the UK broadcast, Paulie kept on saying how good of a body puncher Brook was, had me confused as hell lol. I've never seen him consistently use a body attack, he's always been a headhunter.
