    Hearn wouldn't have the balls to throw Benn in with brook.

    I'll admit, I like Benn, he's great entertainment and comes to fight. How far his ceiling is I don't know, but a brook match up now would be a serious test.

    The Brook who fought Golovkin schools Junior (Roy version and prior incarnations), but six years is a long time in boxing.

    I agree, but only if it got that far. I'm not sure it would if fight was made at 150 or above.

    Unless Eubank went down to 155 for fight as Brook said that's most he would go to for fight. That would balance size out as Eubank never fought at that weight and that would cause him issues.

    He had Greg Marriott for this one who really knows nutrition and weight cuts inside out.

    Eubank Jnr is getting very overrated, has he ever beaten anyone good? Liam Williams went down off a jab, so don't mention his name. A fight at 155, id favour Brook, and it would be another big payday. Difficult decision, I don't know how wealthy Brook is.

    I'd be very surprised if Junior even agreed to 155, let alone actually kept his word and made the weight.

    And lo, just as I was finishing typing the above passage, [url]I catch sight of an article posted within the last couple hours reporting Junior's insistence on Brook climbing to 160[/url]. So there it is.

    Brook is decorated, held a piece of the world championship (which he took from a good beltholder), was the #1 ranked welterweight for a time and had a presence around the back end of P4P lists during the same period, has earned enough money to live a comfortable life in retirement. He doesn't need Junior, going to 160 for that clown would be a silly move.

    Brook v Benn I’d definitely like to see. Maybe Liam Smith. Both would need to be at 154 though.

    Failing that, unless he can somehow bag a title fight against the winner of Charlo/Castano then just call it a day.

    No interest whatsoever in the CEJ fight and it’s quite frankly laughable that CEJ is calling out a WW when it was only a couple of weeks ago he was adamant he’d be fighting for world titles at MW.

    He should definitely carry on if he gets an offer of a million or two.

    Khan was shot to bits so can't take too much from Brook's performance but if the money is right why not carry on.
