If Brook doesn't fight Spence but stays at 147....

Bad idea, should be 154.

 

honestly he should just stay at 160 .. he already skipped 154 just mess your body up with these up n down weight gains. just bring some 154's up for your first couple fights. he can hang with the middle weights he was strong n healthy vs ggg. or just go to 154 .

 

brook will keep throwing spences name in that list of 5 or so guys...but we all know he doesn't want that fight....too risky....not enough money.....brook is chasing money...that's what the golovkin fight was all about....making brook look "tough" for taking the challenge but throwing in the towel at first sign of trouble....now his name looks attractive to the top guys at 147....

 

I know for a fact Haymon wants Brook to vacate .

No way in the hottest pits of hell he wants Spence to travel to the UK for 25%, take VADA testing and fight someone as good as Brook . Or we could see Calzaghe Lacy 2.

Haymon will offer up Khan to get Brook away from that belt .

 

spence will go over there and to what Bradley did to witter

 

i think Brook beats Spence but if he chases the bigger names whats wrong with that?

 

Khan is independent isnt he?

 

Avoiding Spence for a better fight is fine.

Brook v Thurman/Garcia/Pacquiao/Vargas/Khan

Is better than Brook v Spence.

That being said Erol is one hell of a talent.

 

I take your point but, as is often the case, you are looking at it from purely a sporting PoV, which is fair enough from a fan perspective. But match-making is more business than sport and I would argue at 147 Manny, Khan and Thurman/Garcia would yield Brook pay-days which warrant the risk of moving back down to WW whereas Spence wouldn't, and he also represents a genuine risk of defeat. But my take is Brook should move to 154. Moving up two divisions is risky enough but moving up two and then down two in the space of two fights would be foolhardy.
