    For me, Kell Brook's the better fighter. Kell himself is caught up in the Pacquiao situation - he's next in line for Manny's WBO welterweight title, which at the moment the Filipino has decided to keep hold of.

    Meanwhile Don King has offered a fight with Cornelius Bundrage and Bob Arum has offered Miguel Cotto if Kell wants those fights.

    Also American Mike Jones is in action at the weekend, taking on Jesus Soto-Karass in a rematch. I'm keen on pairing Brook and Jones together - I've already held talks with his promoter, Bob Arum.

    Interesting to hear also says a bit about Murray Mitchell

    I think K9 vs Rhodes is on the cards.

    If Frank has as close ties with King as he claims here and he gets Ryan back on board then definitely could be made. He would undoubtedly have to travel but it would be Rhodes's best shot imo then with all the people knocking about at LMW atm he could be in for a lucrative fight or 2

    I don't think Rhodes will have to travel.

    Bundgrage vs Rhodes would have no major US tv backing or be a big ticket seller. In Sheffield or on a big Warren card it will sell tickets and Sky will back it.

    Would K9-Rhodes and Brook-Jones on a Sheffield card be pushing it? Agreed Bundrage doesnt sell tickets, he's always the away fighter shouldnt be a problem getting him over

    I was only saying he would have to travel because Don has problems putting on shows atm and he tends to have all his champions on one show atm

    U mean the Motorpoint Rob :good;) Could be a huge show, going back to the Full Monty card days. Would Warren finance 2 shows of the size of this and the London 1 in the space of a couple of months tho?

    Not as it stands, true! Frank might offer a few more grand to Kev and get that fight on and we dunno if Degales getting a 'world title' shot yet do we? I think Rhodes-K9 and Jones-Brook for an eliminator is great and feasable

    DeGale vs Groves is happening mate April 9th:good

    I think its more likley we get Rhodes vs K9 and Brook vs someone other than Jones for the WBO interim title.

    I think Warren has a lot going at the moment this could be a very good year for his stable big things are going to happen late Spring

    For me anyway, the best fight for Brook is Jones. I thin he would have a handy nights work there
