    I've given Brook a lot of flak for what seems to be like ducking in the matter of Spence as his mandatory. Well Hearn has come out saying Brook will be facing Spence. This is fantastic news not sure how true it is coz there wasn't any dates given but if it comes to fruition then credit to Brook fighting GGG and then Spence that is a tough tough schedule. He would be a heck of a warrior.

    In my opinion I don't see it happening if Brook can secure Khan, PAC man or winner of Thurman/Garcia. Maybe hearns and Brook have realised Brook just isn't a big name and his belt is his best chance of securing a big fight. What do you guys think?

    I think its pure talk, I don't know why people think he's honest Eddie now?

    The guy always over promises and under delivers and everybody just eats it up.

    Lets see what really happens, I'm still picking Brook vs Eggington/Ogogo killer (Cunningham) @ 154 if the Khan fight falls through

    Lool at glass eye. It would have been a 55/45 fight for Brook but that GGG kamakaze mission has really hurt his chances of winning

    Lool I don't believe Hearns either I think he will try to get any bigger money fight he can before he takes this fight. But ultimately without a belt Brook isn't even a name for the casuals in the UK.

    Great fight.

    Spence looks to be the real deal but he's yet to fight a live body who has pop.

    At least Brook had the balls to actually fight Golovkin. Unlike CEJ who's arsehole started twitching like a rabbits nose once the fight was trying to be made

    How many boxers made more money than Brook this year?

    AJ, Canelo, Pac, Ward, Kovalev, GGG that's it.

    He fought GGG so he aint scared of Spence. Let's see if Spence is eager to fight someone with a pulse

    jr didnt blame his dad...jr said he never saw a contract...and hearn is the one who blamed sr. saying they wanted to control everything from the undercard to the purses....but lets be honest...thats a story hearn sold to everyone so he could make brook/ggg without major backlash....that was the fight they wanted all along they just had to sell you a story to make it look like a last minute throw together
