With Brook Avoiding Khan and Spence - Who Should His Next Opponent Be?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

With Hearn admitting that they don't want the Khan fight even after being offered a very generous 70-30 split where Brook would make one of the highest paydays of his career, it's crystal clear at this point that Brook is intent on avoiding Khan and Spence at any and all costs.

So, who do you think Brook's next opponent will be after he presumably vacates the title?

Rod Salka
Jo Jo Dan II
Frankie Gavin II
Andre Berto
Chris Algieri
Antonio Margarito (154)
Vanes Martirosyan (154)
Liam Smith (154)
Carson Jones III (154)

Other opponent...?

They all sound like garbage.

Khan would avoid Spence too.

Spence would destroy him.

I think you are confused when it comes to Khan.Khan is the one who has consistently turned down Brook's offers to fight for the last 5 years or so. How is a 70/30 split in Khan's favor generous? Brook is a world champion with one loss. Khan hasn't been a champion in many years and has 4 losses. Spence is the only guy Brook should be fighting and he isn't an option on your poll. Khan will almost certainly never agree to fight Brook. If Khan does fight Brook I think you can add yet another KO loss to Khan's record.

Whenever i feel sad i go on youtube and watch Khan getting KTFO. It just always brightens up my day.

Khan's wife.. I hear she has a better chin than Khan, apparently she took shots from Khan's sisters and still didn't go down..

In reality, Khan is avoiding Brook, and has been for a long time.

/end thread.

Khan is a little b1tch. Always has been.

If Khan fought the same opponents as Brook he'd probably have the same record as him. Just because Brook has a belt at this moment in time, doesn't change the fact that Brook has fought easy opponents for the vast majority of his career and doesn't have the same star power as Khan does. Brook's career earnings speak for his actual value as a fighter. A fight with Khan at a 70/30 split would almost double Brook's bank account in just one fight. That is a very generous offer if you look at their actual value as global business commodities.

Nice spin OP

Brook backed himself into a corner, he act desperate and sold himself short in the end, if he wants the fight he can't be seen selling himself easily. He has no choice really with the offer, he has to drop his belt or take less for a harder fight in Spence, if not hopefully someone like Bradley or cotto would throw him a bone.
