Kell Brook vs Keith Thurman

I mean...Crawford and Spence. That's who everyone, including me, wants to see Thurman fight.

Top guys against top guys.

I agree. Crawford or Spence are who Thurman should fight and Pacquiao would be acceptable. Brook should quit draining himself and fight at his natural weight of 154 and stop trying to be a welterweight.

But clearly both Thurman and Brook are trying to look for "tune-ups" before they step up to the fights that people want.

I think both need to start fighting champions. Brook is in line to fight Hurd, and Hurd wants the fight, but Brook would rather take the Khan fight because it's easier and more lucrative.

Thurman is still trying to get back to where he was. There's no way he's fighting Spence, Porter, or Crawford next, and even Pacquiao would be a dangerous fight.

Whatever Thurman and Brook decide, I hope they don't waste too much time sitting on the sidelines so they can stay active.

Brook is a better fighter. He was beating Spence until the headbutt in the 8th broke his eye. Now Spence is a god and Brook a bum to ****** casuals because of an accidental headbutt.

Would be an interesting fight. Brook is definitely past his best but Thurman has been looking a little fragile in recent times. I would think Thurman could win it but I'm not absolutely confident about that.

Hard to call. Brook is a killer, but beat the hell up after the GGG/Spence fights. Thurman was rusty, but he still has a tendency to pull straight back, and not defending properly.

60/40 for Thurman, because Brook's probably shot to **** now.

Oh you big mad 😂 look at the scorecards, fight was close by the 8th one judge had it for spence, the other for brook, and one a draw. Stop trying to act like you actually know something about boxing

Years ago, this was a fight everyone wanted to see.

Kell Brook is looking for an opponent now that Amir Khan is fighting Crawford. Brook weighed in at 150 in his last fight at light middleweight to prove he can come down to 147 for the Khan fight. He planned on keeping the weight down so he'd be ready to make 147 for the next fight.

"There's a couple of big fights in the States that are available to him," said Hearn.

Brook needs to either step up and fight for Hurd's title at 154, or move back down to 147 and fight Thurman.

If Brook beats Thurman and Khan beats Crawford, then Brook-Khan would be a huge unification fight.

Is anyone interested in Brook-Thurman?

Nah since Kell is going to retire supposedly, stick a fork in him he's done.
