Yeah tongue in cheek. Just like him avoiding Spence will be 'tongue in cheek'. And Rios turned down 4 offers from Brook, Bob Arum confirmed this. He was injured for the Chavez fight.
Of course he would fight Khan first, so would everyone if they earned 10x more regardless of who it was. But I think you are missing the point. When/ if Spence fights for the IBF title he or at least his team don't WANT Brook in the opposite corner. They want Berto for a vacant title. So no Spence, wouldn't sign for the fight right now, and the mandatory hasn't been called yet either.
notice how is never injured for a jo jo dan fight, frankie gavin fight or kevin bizier fight but as soon as somoene with a pulse is there, alexander, chavez, spence, etc he is injured. But he will fight bizier and gavin both in 3 months. bottom line, hearn sees spence as a big risk and will do everything in his power to make brook avoid him
That's your opinion hopefully the IBF strips or makes him champion in emeritus so we can have this IBF title out of limbo.
nah ibf on the line, the bum spence needs to wait until brook is back from injury and has a few rune ups
Btw I'm British so if Kell defends his belt and beats Spence I would be very happy for him. But what's right is right and atm Brook seems to be looking to make every other fight except this one.
Sure he could do that I wouldn't call it a duck since he has weight issues but if he comes down to fight Thurman or Garcia I will be very suspicious
Your not being objective, we both know Spence isn't a bum. If he was we know Brook would be all over this mandatory like a tramp on chips.
your not being objective at all, you want to rush brook into a mandatory when he is injured but dont care that wilder has gone a lot longer without doing a mandatory when you make a thread calling wilder a bum and calling the wbc a disgrace for facilitating he's ducking then you have the right to give out about brook
