Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao vs. Kell Brook in Talks For The Fall, Says Hearn

[redmish]

i think kell should unify with pac-roid and winner fight thurman-garcia. one fighter holds all the belts.

Decent plan but what about spence? He's earned his shot the right way and then waited around for months. Khan deserves nothing, he struggled against algeiri and got put to sleep by canelo. I'm a kell brook fan but he has to fight spence first or the mandatory position is worth nothing.

Ducking

At this point, I'm just going to call it what it looks like.... Ducking!

Kell Brook has a mandatory challenger waiting in the winds ready to take that IBF strap and his names Errol Spence Jr. Brook has been all to happy to take on overmatched mandatories but as soon as the competition got a bit stiff and he stood something to lose, he jumped up in weight and went on this whole "dare to be great" trip. I for one am not buying it - everyone knew he stood a very small chance against GGG and with his welterweight ranking and title not being effected he comfortably made the choice to fight and now we're talking about Pacquiao!!! Once this IBF extension is up I'll be sitting patiently waiting to see what he decides - FIGHT SPENCE or VACATE!!!

Sucks for Spence but it's not ducking if the guy fights Golovkin and Pacquiao instead of you, it's just common sense.

This would be a great fight for Brook in April! It would be a unification bout, so he wouldn't have to vacate his title. However, if Khan agrees, Brook has to vacate the title for that fight because Khan is not a WW champion. Lastly, if Brook fights Spence Jr. he will have 2 losses and no belt before faces Paquiao! That being said, Brook coming off of 2 losses is still a better opponent than an undefeated Jeff Horn!

Drop the belt and then fight whoever you want..... Enough holding the belt hostage....

sucks for spence but it's not ducking if the guy fights golovkin and pacquiao instead of you, it's just common sense.

if he doesnt fight spence he cant be champion anymore... Sucks for brook....... Lets hope he drops the belt asap.....

[FrankieBruno]

yea right............will never happen

For a guy who used the "mandatory" excuse to waste 2 years of his career, Brook working hard to book ANYONE but his mandatory.

You on this Spence bandwagon too? Do you also underestimate Brook like some of the peeps here? Just wondering.

Pac is @ the stage where he's cherry-picking he'll never take Brooke but he would take Brooke b4 Spence and he'll never take Spence or Thurman... only 1 of the so-called Elite he might fight would be Garcia because he has no pop...

If Brook fights Spence, Spence looses.
