    Now that Khan is set to face Algeri Hearn listed two names that would be options if they couldn't get Khan those names were Juan Maneuel Marquez and Keith Thurman. Imo Thurman would be the better option as Marquez us to small. THOUGHTS ?

    Irrelevant of what Khan does, Brook Vs Thurman will be one of the best fights not only in WW but P4P.

    No its too soon, let it build for a year or two, the everybody wants everything right now mentality is silly, good things come to those who wait. After they both get a lot more impressive wins it'll mean more to both them whoever wins this eventual match.

    We're most likely getting Brook vs Marquez. Thurman should fill in for Amir "The Twitter King" Khan and fight Bradley for the IBF eliminator.

    Everything from Eddie Hearn suggests Brook will fight 'someone in the top 15' and then a 'name' which is likely to be either Rios or Marquez, with an outside chance of Bradley.

    Brook vs JMM should also be a great test for Brook. He can safely go against Thurman after that.

    Bradley wanted to fight Khan, I am sure Bradley would be more than happy to fight Brook. Brook vs Bradley would be good for boxing and the WW division.

    (Khan should have opted to fight Brook or Bradley).
