    Only big money fights would be Eubanks or Benn. Not worth it.

    sky could sell us Brook vs Guerrero, the build up with Ruben Guerrero would be worth it

    He sounds like he wants to retire, however if he wants to continue he has Benn, Eubank or a last chance title run at 154lbs to choose from.

    I think if he could get the Benn fight at 150lbs+ he would beat him convincingly

    Based on what?

    Post fight all I heard from him was that that may have initially been the plan but he thinks he's shown he's got enough left to go on a bit if the match-making works for him.

    But it did sound like he feels he'd have to convince his family in order for that to happen as well

    I tend to feel that he should bow out on this. Neither of Eubank and Benn are deserving of the opportunity to snag a name of Brook's quality.

    The fight with Khan should have happened sooner, and it should've made Kell a star when he was still in his prime, but putting the saga to bed the way he did last night is still a sweet, redemptive note to end on if he sensibly elects to call it a day.

    He should definitely retire. It's not like Brook looked great against Khan. Khan was just completely shot.

    If he does fight again I hope he makes some money which eliminates Guerrero. If the Spanish fans would pay for it, I think going to Spain and fighting Martinez would be a good choice. At this point in his career fighting Benn or Eubank Jr. would not be wise but if he does want to stay domestic, how about Liam Smith?

    If it was volunteer work, this would be his ideal ending.

    But all things considered, I think he should gun for another UK cash out fight. Win that one too? Keep the train chugging.

    If he needs the money and a big purse is offered for a bout with another opponent then go for it.

    However If financially secure enough to retire which i hope he is, then do so, the win against Khan is a good result to end his career on.

    He should retire. He's shot. Benn or Eubank would beat the **** out of him.

    This is a pretty good high to go out on for Brook

    He should retire as he is definitely faded and if he doesn’t need the money why risk it?
