Comments Thread For: Brook Aims To Face Thurman Before Leaving Welterweight Division

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) is not looking to leave the 147 ranks any time soon. Brook already has a mandatory defense on schedule against Errol Spence (21-0, 18 KOs), which is being targeted for Sheffield United's Bramall Lane on May 27.

That would be an amazing fight.

... but let's see first if his jaw is fit for top level boxing again...

It would be a hard pick

Man I hope Brook is able to still perform at his best level at 147. If Kell beats Spence, Thurman, then Pacquiao all this year - pow!

I hope the Brook-Spence fight is good enough (and close enough) to where both guys can fight better competition afterwards. I really want both of them to fight the other top guys at 147 after their fight

Yeah, I think Spence is legit. Even if he loses to Brook, I think he remains a top dog at 147. I'm more concerned with Brook's weight cut and eye than anything.

So there goes excuse #1....

it's safe to assume 147 is still a comfortable weight for this guy to fight at, if he's already looking forward to other fights at said weight, after spence.

Agreed 100%. If the weight and eye are not an issue, we're gonna have an incredible fight
