    Rios has a punchers chance against Brook, and at least he's a credible name that has fought top opposition. Gavin has fought nobody, and the only time he stepped up he lost to Thurman's tune up. Since Khan declined Brook it doesn't give Brook a free pass to fight back to back scrubs like Gavin and Dan. Somehow Dan got a bs title elim so I'll let that slide, but fighting Gavin right after is unacceptable.

    I never heard brook call rios out, hearn name dropped rios as a possible opponent, but not a definite fight from what I've read UK side, and I know people who know Gavin, his gyms 5 miles from me, and I've heard he's getting less than 60k ($100) bare in mind rios got $850k according to google for his rios fight, business wise Gavins the best fight.

    Rios or gavin, I'd rather Brook was fighting someone better and hopefully the khan fight will happen sooner rather than later.

    "Who does everyone want me to fight? Do they want me to fight Khan? Marquez? Brandon Rios? Bring them on. I'm world champion. I just want to entertain all y'all guys,".

    Rios and Gavin are not the same thing. Rios has fought Pacquaio ffs, Chaves, Alvarado, Acosta, Peterson, etc. Gavin has fought literally no one, and the only decent guy he fought he lost to. I'd rather have someone better than Rios, but 99% of the people besides brook fans that want to make excuses rather see the Rios fight.
    I could care less about how much Gavin is making. I guess every world champ should fight guys ranked outside of teh top 10 since they're cheap. They aren't ducks since boxing is a "business".

    I'd give Brook the benefit of thr doubt for now, provided he fights Rios or the winner of the IBF mandatory (Sadam Ali vs Diego Chaves).

    He's still recovering when I put him in his place the other day, he's scared ****less, but once he sees this post he'll try to save face and act like he wasn't shook and attempt to comment on it. The dude is very predictable, he'll probably go through my post history from a year ago and copy paste what I wrote nearly a year ago for the 100th time.

    Pretty heavily glorified indeed by all the Americans who thought he would 'expose' Kell.

    Not heavily glorified, we just underrated Kell. Porter wasn't that overhyped, yes some casuals wer e liek Porter is the welterweight mike tyson, but the dude had only knocked out Paulie so that was an absurd statement.

    I like seeing/reading Garcia interviews because he's totally honest and to the point, I believe him when he says Hearn passed over Rios, hopefully that'll be Brook's summer fight. Rios is a dangerous guy despite the wipe out to Pacman, would he be as effective as Maidana against Mayweather? Who knows.
