    After his next fight which will make him mandatory contender for the WBO title at WW. Do any of you actually think Pacquiao will face him? He's obviously got bigger fish to fry in the likes of mayweather but do you see that fight happening? and if Kell doesn't get Pac who do you think will fight him for the vacant title?

    he'll probly have to fight the m'baye/decarie winner for it although cotto might want a comeback fight and brook may look like an easy title win?

    Pac won't fight him. Waste of time. After Clottey, people will want to see him fight winner of Mosley Mayweather.

    Yeah I just wasn't sure who would take the place to fight for the Vacated title, I actually think Kell would give Cotto problems I know that's a big statement but if Kells as good as I think he is then he will be the next British star. It could be all too soon though.

    I have a hunch that you are right, but I would like to see Brook face Jennings first. He is better getting more experience and build up to the big fights. If he were to fight Cotto and beat him (and I think Cotto is very beatable - he doesnt look the same and has an inexperienced corner) then he would be catapulted into more big fights. Better to walk before you run - so to speak.

    Kell will give Jenings a true schooling. No one in the UK can test him.

    Kell just needs a few more fights against some good opposition to gain some more experience... I feel he has the stlye to even given someone like Andre Berto problems!!

    I want to see the Jennings fight, it would be exciting and Kell would win.

    Jennings would be a good fight for Kell right now... This will enable us to judge how far he has actually come.

    I think it would be some time before he faces the likes of Cotto, who may not necassarily be the best out there right now - but a fight against the likes of Jennings (where he would win) is more realistic.I Like Kell Brook and i think if he wins his next fight it puts him right up there in contention for a big fight.. I think a shot at the vacant title, if he can land it, would be brilliant.

    Maybe he will fight for the vacant against Alvarez? or Decarie, if he manages to beat M'Baye. Whoever he gets i wish him the best of luck and will be following.

    I really want to see Brook vs Jennings even though I think Brook wins convincingly. Brook needs 5 more good fights before moving to world level. Jennings then two euro level guys before a crack at two gate keepers who will all test him. No doubt he will probably fight Jennings for the vacant belt and then Prescott in his first 5 defences.

    he will probably fight for the interim title and get upgraded. Looks like Saul Alvarez would be the opponent, who is getting allot of goldenboy hype in the states but from what i have seen is not all that
