    And claim that brook seen him as to much risk then pens triple g contract
    At 160
    Daring to be great
    Not at 155 pretending to be great

    Cashing out is when a fighter has no other options and takes the best deal possible to get a payday.

    Brook has a million options being the man at WW, this is him wanting to be great.

    Khan had lots of options at 147, but ducked the Brook fight as he knew the KO beating he'd have got would have ended his career.

    Brook is ducked by everyone at the weight.

    Massive, massive difference.

    Why we seeing boxers from different weight divisions fighting each other now?

    I ain't interested in watching fights for lining the pockets sake.

    spot on. If brook was struggling to make welter and even skipped light middle and had a challengers Road to the mw title then fair enough. But he moves 2 divs and gets a title shot without even a mw warm up. Its purely a moneymaking scheme and if he wants to do so be it. But he should relinquish the welter strap first. End of story

    Well sorry pal, I admire your optimism but this is no Sugar Ray Leonard moving up or Jose Napoles.
    It's still an argument whether Brook is the best Welter in the world 3 or 4 others would have something to say about that.
    There's only Porter on his resume who could be called world class and that was only touch and go.
    Brook will do well to go 5 or 6 rounds, I don't think he has a chance.

    What are those options and why isnt he fighting anyone in his own weight division, this is clearly for money only. Ffs they are 2 weight divisions apart and the fact Brook said yes so quick means there a good few million in it.
