The emperor has on no clothes and neither does Brook

Spence had made it clear on many occasions he WANTS the belt brook is holding for him. Clearly stated before the CA fight that he's going for that mandatory spot asap, even offered to fight in THE UK, after destroying his last opponent and becoming the real mando he's said again they can fight in the UK.

Brook will HAVE to fight him next or vacate. Spence had known all along brook would be the toughest (really best) fight, yet that's the belt he has been going after for 2 years nowith.

For the last 2 years he's been taking only the fights that would get him the Mando for brooks belt. Probably because he thought (as we all did) Brook would welcome the challenge and at the same time make it a mega fight in the UK.

It's a very great fight but Spence is coming out on top, one way or another

 

Well time will tell. Either way - whether or not he ducks Spence, Khan lost his balls.

Demanding a bigger purse split as challenger who hasn't ever been a champ at the weight and hasn't held a title at the weight below for a number of years, demanding the national stadium be delivered or no fight and now setting up a murderers row of fights he needs to win before 'earning' the fight with him, you couldn't make it up. It's really time for Amir to **** off for good now. If he's not willing to prove he's the best welterweight in Britain then he may as well pack it in.

 

And I think Haymon and co. have always suspected that Brook is the belt holder most likely to vacate as he'd have most reason to do so.

He continually says how difficult it is to make weight. He'd obviously vacate to fight Khan if need be and Spence is high risk for low reward in comparison to all of his other opinions.

 

Spence is going to administer a sound beating that ends in grade A British China cracking.

 

Its well known the IBF are the org most likely to enforce a mandatory,

Brook is only the most likely to vacate because he's the biggest *****

If you thought you were the best why wouldn't you start with the IBF knowing the belt holder couldn't hide?

 

This is real simple. These are facts, you cannot disagree and it doesnt matter if you dont like it.

Spence is brooks mandatory. It doesnt matter if you dont think the guys he koed were enough to earn him a shot. This is especially hilarious considering brook himself only has 2 well known names on his resume.

Its nobody's fault brook cant drain down to 147 anymore, thats his own fault. Move up then idiot. Dont hold the belt hostage and make a bunch of demands like youre a big shot.

He had no problem taking on all his other mandatories and letting that be the reason he didnt have time for the other top fighters in his division.

As long as he has a belt and refuses to fight a mandatory he knew about for quite some time, then he's ducking, end of discussion. It doesnt matter why or how smart of a business/career decision it is (espscially if he stays at welterweight) a spade is a spade.

 

I actually think 154 would be a really good weight for Kell. He'd be a killer at 154.

 

Fight a big name? It was BEAT a big name and that still hasn't happened. His best win was against a guy who is nothing more than a tough slugger with no boxing skill whatsoever. None! He went life and death with him and was lucky to get the nod. Brooks resume is abysmal. 12 years a pro, 37 fights and nothing there. Brook has worked himself into massive hole and it's his own fault. He will only stay at 147 to fight Khan and he will only get that fight if he agrees to Khan's terms because Brook has zero leverage. He's been trying to suck on Khans name for years. Despite what his fan boys will tell you Spence has a rib dinner béfore khtfo. If he goes to 154 there are 6 guys that beat him no future.

 

...You can't call a guy that moved up to fight Golovkin a *****. He may vacate his title because he is too big for 147 and drains himself to make weight. Same for Spence really. They should both fight at 154. I'm sure that is where they would be best at.

 

The problem is brook and Spence want big fights money fights
And the reality is the big money is at 147

 

Yeah, a pity. I think Brook will move up by necessity soon. Spence too, but I expect him to stay at 147 longer even though he's bigger than Brook.

 

He'd be stupid to take that fight when the IBF LMW title was just made vacant.

He could sign to fight Harrison today and the IBF would sanction it.

 

Agreed

 

Brook gets over rated by his fanboys, due to him facing scrubs, and getting a controversial decision over Porter. Brook is an arse whooping waiting to happen if he fights one of the top dogs at 154.
