    Carson Jones the IBF No.3 called out Brook last week. Randall Bailey the IBF No.1 meets Mike Jones the IBF No.2 on June 9th.

    Brook is currently 6th with them but since there last rankings picked up there international belt with a win over here no.11 hatton.

    If you win a vacant title with the IBF you must imediatley defend it agaisnt the no.1 contender.

    Haven't seen any of El Massoudi but the fight makes sense with regards to Brook's march to the WBA title. Maidana would not interest me really he looked really bad at 147. Zaveck would be a decent enough fight imo and would come with the 'former world champion' line.

    Why not just hang on and try get a shot at one of the belts.....

    No rush is there, just been 12 rounds good workout, wait till a fight with a champion can be made.

    Kell is ready now, lets stop ****ing around.

    Surely it's better for fighters to keep busy and keep their name out there than sitting around waiting for a shot that may or may not arrive.

    Prescott? Definite link with Khan and they've already had him over previously for McCloskey...

    Although he does run the risk of banjoing him.

    It will most likely be Maidana

    Said Ouali?

    Lost last fight to C.Jones. Brook could also use him as a stepping stone.

    Might be bigger fish to fry but he is a dangerous opponent (albeit for 5 rounds) and the Khan link could be very intersting

    Thats why i dont think it will happen, although anythings possible, whats Prescott been upto recently?
    Bit of a no win situation tho for Brook if the fight did happen. Hes got to be aiming for the big guns out there because a loss to one of the top men wouldnt be a bad thing for him, but where would he go if he lost to Prescott?. Although he would never lose to Prescott.

    Brook would have to wait until September or October to get a crack at one of the titles, pointless.
