    So now is Brook some kind of a superstar, because he was terribly beaten by GGG?

      That's some next level delusion.
      He was just looking for a big payday and got it. Give me 5 millions and I will fight anybody you want me to fight.

      Kelly had nothing to lose against GGG. Against Spence he can lose everything.

        Spence has been in line long enough...and Brook hasn't been very active himself lately.

        Brook has to fight him or get stripped.

        Seems like Spence has Brook(and you) shook.

          Spence had high ratings because of the Olympics and happened to fight in the middle of it.

          When he fought Algieri it peaked at 1.3 or something like that on NBC - respectable but of course let's not pretend that his ratings vs bundu has anything to do with him being a draw, which he clearly isn't yet.

          The only way Spence gets a fight is if Sky agrees to do it on PPV which they probably will. If not, Brook is off to 154 for sure.
          It doesn't matter what lead to those ratings, the numbers are what they are and the people saw him put on an impressive performance. THOSE PEOPLE KNOW HIM!

              Well if he can't comfortably make 147 anymore, fine... If Brook can't get the money fights he wants at 147, he should go to 154. He's turning 31? in may or something...so yea, it's understandable he's looking for the biggest money fight possible.

              But if he faces another welterweight other than Spence...it'd look bad.

                You must not think boxing is real life.

                    What are the big fights for him at 154? Spence is more known than Andrade, Lara, Charlo's, and Trout. The only fight for him is the Cotto fight and Cotto ain't trying to fight nobody but a bum or Canelo

                      If Brook is only going back to 147 for Khan or Pacquiao he better give up the belt now because he's not getting those guys next... Good luck at 154 Mr Brook
