    Like others I can only assume Bailey vs Jones is for the vacant title and Brook vs Hatton is nothing more than an eliminator with Hatton's IBF International bauble attached to it.

    Brook has Jackiewicz and a dominating win over N'Dou.

    Hatton has Nuzhnenko,Branco and a draw over N'dou.

    Even now Brook has a slight edge in resume.

    Would the boxers' promoters do business for this without the title on the line? Sadly, I doubt it.

    That's my take on it.

    There's no need to **** on either of them here. They're ranked #1 and #2 domestically, Brook is highly touted and Hatton whilst being limited has a bit of form, including a brave showing at world level.

    If Brook wins, which I expect that he will, it's a decent springboard from domestic level fights and knockover jobs into the higher levels of the division.

    Cos you aint set the bar very high sweet cheeks, he probably should have fought Skeletor after Mcintre cos there aint much betwween the two.

    Course i wanna see the British title level clash between fat mans boy and Crolla.

    None of this is world title tho is it

    You should see some of the **** they sanction in Mexico or the Far East as world title fight yet no one mentions anything.

    Hatton/Brook won't even be for the IBF belt but if it is...who cares? Is it any worse than Morales fighting Cano for the WBC belt? Or Clev taking on that Pole?

    A good fight is a good fight regardless of what is on the line.
