    Bizier up next as a mando, not a great fight but its fight or lose the title so it has to be done. Id rather they had just stuck it on the Feb PPV card and got it over with but hey ho.

    Garcia would also be good but should he beat RG he will have to face Khan so if he comes out on top thatll be a big fight in the later months this year. WBC title to be added too. An undeafted scalp and unification fight are what champions need to prove they are who they say they are. Great fight and a great win should he pull it off.

    Thurman, great fight, unbeaten, WBA/IBF unification. Nothing more to say. Just hope he beats Porter. Just like Garcia it would be a great win on his record.

    Khan is obviously the fight to make. But he will fight Garcia in summer so if he should beat Danny then the Khan fight can wait until next year for a summer stadium showdown. Again this would have the WBC on the line as well as Brooks title/s. When you beat a big rival it propells you as a boxer mainly due to the added confidence you get form it. A big win here would silence any demons that Brook may be carrying.

    Tim Bradley, to me i want him to beat Pac. Manny will be retiring so it doesnt matter to Brook whether he wins or loses but if Bradley should come out on top theres another unification fight to be made against another great fighter who will be coming off a big win. Tim is so strong and very inteligent. A win against him would really excell Brook as a boxer.

    Brandon Rios! Now he is coming off a loss which might be a good thing. They couldnt get him over here before as he wanted more moeny than Hearn offered. Becasue of the loss, Rios' options are limited and it should be a lot easier to get him over here now. With his style it should provide Brook with a decent s****, all action and a tough ophysical fight against a decent name and former world champ.

    Diego Chavez is another great fight. They had the deal in place before so it shouldnt be too hard to get him over again. Took Bradley to a draw and is clearly a decent contender.



    Lots of quality match ups. No reason for Brook to be waiting for Khan or taking 4 months out after each fight. He has lots to get his teeth stuck into and i think he genuinely can win these fights. Most fairly easily on his night.

    I don't understand the criticism of Al Haymon to be honest, he in my opinion made most of the best fights in 2015 and is one of very few promoters willing to put his fighters in with anyone, yes he gives them some very easy fights but that's no different to any promoter.

    I dont really mind who he fights. Im more of the kind of person that just want boxers to fight more often. I hate that some only fight twice a year. 4 times isnt difficult and if that means dropping standards just to get in the ring then so be it.

    One or two good fights with 2 or 3 average joe defences each year doesnt bother me too much.

    So i think if he can get 2 of those guys in the ring along with Bizier and some other mando averge rentabum then hes had a decent year and headed in the right direction.

    We cant expect top match ups every time and they have mandatory obligations and finicial stuff to sort out along with availabel dates, available fighters and also finding a top fighter who willing to fight lett alone come to the UK as going to USA is all well and good but his market is here. Here is where the money is for Brook.

    So its not always about fighting bum after bum. I think people are being harsh.

    The Gavin fight was supposed to be a quick keep busy fight before a Rios fight in september followed by the Chavez one, but unfortuantely neither came off so it ended up being only Gavin which isnt great. Dan was his mando as is Bizier. So people need to just give a little with the hate. Brooks time will come. Potentially millions to be made. Would you honestly take stupid risks? The fights will come.

    I also think Haymon will want Brook to fight his guys. After Brook, Thurman and Garcia have a couple more wins they will be the top 3 fighters and all with titles. There will be too much money in thise fights not to let them happen at some point.

    Hearn can't afford to bring the big names over- I'm not sure why he doesn't fight in the States.

    Cause al haymon makes joke fights along the way. This fact cannot be denied.

    I am not convinced he would be interested in Thurman vs brook to be honest.

    Problem for kell is that Eddie wants to keep him in the UK so for these big fights to happen it is gonna cost a huge amount of money to convince any of them to come over here.

    All Eddie prattles on about is money and how he can make fighters multi-millionaires, and leave legendary legacies... Surely Kell is getting peanuts to fight these mandatories that won't do A THING for his "legacy"?

    Come off it, mate. Kell is still overrated at WW.

    Who has Kell beat bar Porter? Porter's best wins are over LW/LWW's. Kell s****ed by Porter, wasn't a one-sided victory like most seem to think.

    The amount of people who make excuses for Kell is mental.

    If Khan doesn't fight him, what does Kell do then? Kell has to travel, simple.

    Spence would be willing to fight him.

    As would Thurman.

    Porter already has.

    So there's three already.
