    Thurman, Garcia and Pacquiao are the other champs in the division, holding WBC/WBA/WBO belts between them.

    Khan and Bradley, along with Pacquiao, are the money makers for Brook in the division. Including fights that are possible at 154, with Canelo and Smith (you can bet hearn would love this), Spence is barely the 8th guy in the line for the pecking order of Brook's career.

    Now, if Spence had done great things in his career by this stage, beaten better opposition and/or won a title, then I could understand people's claim of Spence being avoided but Spence is an after thought to the guys in the division.
    Well he's the mandatory challenger for Brook's belt so I don't know how he can get a belt if the title holder doesn't wanna fight him. The IBF shouldn't sanction a unification fight until champions fight their mandatories especially if they kept them waiting this long, Brook fought a string of no hopers for 2 years claimning they were his mandatories, now Spence becomes the mandatory then Brook takes off his gloves and puts on a suit, that's not right. He should either fight Spence next or vacate, no more stalling.

      Brook is bigger than GGG remember? We all saw the 30 & 7 day weigh ins. Why does Sanchez get killed for saying they'd fight Pac at 154 but this guy bigger than GGG gets a pass for picking on itty bitty Pac?😂😂😂

        The dude fought Golovkin, and now wants to fight Pacquaio, I doubt he is scared of Errol (as excellent as he is). If he's going to kill his body to make 147, he's only going to do it for a huge money fight, not a mandatory.

          Floyd can make 154 is bigger than pacquiao so what people wanted to see it because it made sense

          Just as Brook vs pacquiao makes more sense than Brook vs Spence

            Spence is prospect that isn't a draw. There's no incentive for these other WW to target him.

              Yeah man. We should start a campaign to get his Twitter privileges revoked. This bish is outrageous.

                He's a contender. Sold out Coney island. And had the highest rated boxing show since the 80's.

                  He should fight Spence next in my opinion because I don't see him getting Khan or Lac next.

                  I don't get people being dismissive of Spence though, he earned his spot and is a real threat to Brook unlike previous mandatory defences. It's too early to accuse Brook of ducking Spence because a unification fight will always trump a mandatory.

                    You hold a title in a weight class so you don't get to pick and choose who you make weight for. Doesn't work like that unless you vacate.

                    Unless Brook can get a unification fight he has to face Spence or drop the belt. I don't think Brook is avoiding Spence but people being dismissive of the fight are as biased as the OP.

                      HAHAH we all predicated that Bum Brook would avoid Spence his MANDATORY at all costs, he loved mandatories when they were bums.

                      10+ YEARS AS A PRO AT 1 WEIGHT CLASS, 1 OKAY WIN. ABSOLUTE BUM AND ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS THIS BUM IS A JOKE TO BOXING.
