    Bump this after he vacates and the little g fans make excuses, or if he actually does take the fight. I'll eat crow all day and give Brook credit if he fights Spence, this is the fight us fans want to see. Not glass jaw khan vs Brook. When I say us fans, I'm talking about real boxing fans, not little g fans who don't want to see one of their heroes best wins aka a guy 2 divisions below get battered by someone in his own division.

    Brook had a lot of pans prior to the GGG fight, so I'm not sure what relevance he has to this.

    Anyway - the overall point is right: I think he'll vacate and I would much rather see the Spence fight than Khan. It isn't interesting anymore

    Yeah, but the Great British Public will shell out in the millions for Khan v Brook.

    I think it's the ultimate cash out for both men, but hopefully not next.

    Brook is so terrified of Spence that his promoter keeps making offers to fight him. Makes sense.

    Which would be worst for Khan's career? To be outboxed by Brook or KTFO by Spence?
    I say it's very bad for his career to be beaten by Brook by not the end of his career to be KO'ed by Spence.
    Also, how about Brook. If he drops the belt to fight Khan and loses, what's next for him, but if he fights Spence and loses, he can always fight Khan next.

    Terrifed of Spence but gets in with GGG.............haha oh dear.

    Bring Spence over the Uk best win against a 42 year old, Jeff Lacey treatment waiting for him in the UK.

    Spence cannot lose, he's fought no one of note and has yet to face a puncher but he passes the eye test which is all the "Spence is unbeatable" crowd care about.

    What has GGG got to do with this fight?

    And you a grown man are still referring to him as Lil G like some deranged 10yo fanboy (only fan) of Ward.

    What is this guys obsession with GGG ??????

    Picking Spence over Brooke !! Fair enough can see the logic Spence although untested has looked good so far, but why bring GGG into this discussion ( the second thread I have seen just today you have done this Ellerbe )

    Also didn't Hearn make an offer to Spence for the fight and Spence team yet to respond, one could argue its Spence team that don't fancy this, what will you do if Spence turns the fight down will he get a free pass ?

    You're placing a lot of faith in a fighter whose best win is a 42-year-old euro level boxer...

    Bundu had a SD win over Frankie Gavin. Remind me again, how did Gavin fare against Brook?
