      That sounds good, but the reality is if Brook vacates or is stripped Spence will be fighting a unsexy opponent, most likely, for the vacant IBF strap. Here's the current rankings:

      1. NOT RATED
      2. Errol Spence Jr.
      3. Konstantin Ponomarev
      4. Jeff Horn
      5. Lamont Peterson
      6. Leonard Bundu
      7. Bradley Skeete
      8. Charles Manyuchi
      9. Eddie Gomez
      10. Andre Berto

      Spence vs Peterson seems about the most interesting fight thats possible for Spence.

        SHOULD they strip Brook? No. WOULD they strip Brook? More than likely. Remember, this is the same organization that stripped Fury for wanting a rematch with Klitschko rather than face their mandatory. I can certainly see the IBF taking the title away from Kell.

But at the same time, if we're going to respect these governing bodies they need to have some morals/principles which are adhered to. Errol Spence, Jr. is also ranked #3 by the WBO. I would like to see the Brook-Pacquiao fight, with the winner having to fight Spence next. If a duck move is pulled, why not have Errol Spence, Jr. vs. Timothy Bradley for the unified IBF/WBO title?
          Well with the corruption that's going on in boxing we know that the WBO can't be held by a non Arum fighter or at least not by a Haymon fighter, we all know for a fact that Pacquiao would vacate and would never fight Spence and that Arum will manage to get Tim to fight Vargas in a "highly anticipated rematch" for Pacquiao's vacant belt. I think the WBO would be the hardest belt to pick for Spence since the WBO IS run by Arum.

                Well a fight against Berto for the vacant title AND for the number 1 spot for the WBC (Berto is somehow number 1 according to the WBC) would be a great deal for Spence since he fights for a title and gets a chance to become the mandatory for the Thurman Garcia winner at the same time, but again, does Berto take the fight? I think the only fighter on that list that would take the fight would be Ponomarev and that doesn't do much for spence except give him a title that'd make him a bit more attractive for other fighters to fight him.

                  Peterson already said no thanks too. And those are the old rankings. Peterson & Pomoraev were dropped for turning down the Spence fight

                    It's not surprising though. Part of the reason Floyd stopped going after IBF titles.
