Comments Thread For: Kell Brook is Reluctant To Vacate The IBF Title, Says Hearn

[IconBoy]

Brook beats Spence all day long. It makes me laugh, Brook has just fought and you have cum drinkers on here saying he should fight ASAP, or give the belt up. ffs give your heads a wobble

[thack]

Christ there's some nutters on here tonight.If Brook feels he can still be highly effective at welter then he will fight Spence next.In the meantime it would be good for Khan and Spence to battle it out as conntenders (lol). It looks like Thurman will be fighting JJM and then poss. Thurman early next year so these contenders like Spence and Khan and co. need to get themselves in pole position and say they are the best contenders and ready.

Like Khan with Canelo , Brook and GGG only had one ending these guys weren't a Leonard fighting a Hagler and maybe both their welterweight claims Brook IBF champion and Khan no1 WBC ( no idea why!) should have been vacated as these fights are just putting a block on the welters trying to get through.

You think pretty highly of Spence here. I say Brook beats Spence at any weight.

Be really nice if Brook had your confidence!!


Fortunately Spence is the mandatory and is not going any where.
About the only way Spence gets a shot at any title is by being the mandatory otherwise no body messes with him.

If Jo Jo Dan can get a shot so can Spence.

[slimPickings]

The only realistic big money fight for Brook ( with or without a title ) at this juncture that would garner a lot of interest would be a fight against Khan.

If Hearn can pull that off that would be outstanding.

Im sure Spence would not mind a step aside money with the understanding that the winner HAS TO defend against him next.

he should make the spence fight but come in 9 pounds overweight and say he can't make the weight anymore. fight anyway since there's so much money on the line and boom that's how boxing works

lmao. Yeah its about right, every man and his dog seem to be doing that trick.

Not to hate on Brooke, but does anyone think that in the final round with GGG, Brooke putting his hands down egging GGG on was just a signal for his corner to throw in the towel, and make it look like he was in no way quitting himself??

He is kinda in a catch 22

Brook will be competitve but won't be championship material at 154, 160

147 seems to be the only class Brook would be championship material in, but can he make the weight still or over the next 2 years?

[Wicky]

The Spence fight will never happen because there's 'some' risk with very little reward, and it's at 147. The only place for Brook now is 154. The Canelo fight is the most obvious. It's a big payday for both, plus fighting Brook will provide the best opportunity for Canelo's handlers to gauge how he'd measure up to GGG's power. It's the perfect test for Canelo and many will back Brook to win that fight.
