    :roll: ****, so Kell's trained for 14 weeks and can't fight beforehand..so if this fight gets pushed back to April, Kell might blow out and not 100%

    Probably a Carson Jones rematch. Only dude that'd go to England to fight him.

    I will say however that just because Alexander has pulled this bull**** on him, this is still no excuse for Kell Brook to go and fight another bum similar to Hector Saldivia in Sheffield.
    His next fight whether for the belt or not should still be a step up.

    Mallignaggi, Guerrero, Berto, Lopez, Christ even Shane Mosely. One of them needs to happen if Devon isn't on

    I really doubt he'll step up now that Devon is likely out.

    He can always rematch Carson Jones or Matthew Hatton and then claim to be the best.

    Carson Jones II, as he kinda kicked Brooks' ass.

    Zaveck is probably pissed after having just signed to fight Thurman. Probably could've gotten the title shot with Brook.

    I must say that I don't think Mayweather vs. Alexander happens, so this might not matter if Alexander simply reschedules the fight with Brook. I wouldn't be surprised if they strip Alexander even if he doesn't fight Floyd.

    Its a no goer in my opinion, its a pointless fight for Mayweather. Devon vacates, mayweather fights for nothing to gain. Surly Mayweather at his current age, (and am i right in saying he is only going to fight twice this year ? , i heard that somewhere) he should be fighting to pull in more belts. He wont get this with an Alexander fight.... However the cash involved is obvioulsy the main factor here.

    From the Devon side, he vacates, gets beaten by mayweather, drops to the bottom of the pile (with some hefty cash i might add) and has no belt. Plenty of time to get back up there im sure. But why Vacate ? His incentive should be, beat Brook, then we go try and get another belt, commence unification. ... Its almoste like 1 big money making shot and im done type attitude. His popularity aint great and i doubt much interest would come from a match with Mayweather.

    I can only feel sorry for Brook, who now has to go through re peaking his fitness for a later date. what a joke.. So for Brook, who does he fight next? i reckon a local war, a GB rip up of a fight. Have a domestic.
