    He's sticking the Mayweather/Mayweather fans way of ignoring the Castillo fight then.

    I like this fight. People saying Hearn wasn't getting the right title fights for his boxers (Khan/Martinez) well Brook won't get a handier opponent for a world title than Hatton.

    As Gaz said, if you ignore the fact a title is on the line. You got an experienced gatekeeper-type veteran against an impressive young prospect in his biggest test so far. It's a quality all British fight.

    whether its for a world title is irrelevent IMO, they're all a joke now but this is a top fight, I'd love for this to happen

    I know its a cliche but these days we've got to try and forget about the belts and just enjoy the fights. You'll go mad following this sport otherwise!

    If this is for the full IBF title then it makes an already interesting fight even more worth watching. Nice matchup, Hatton is very tough and resilient but Brook should have too much for him.

    Brook UD.

    I think this is the way we have to look at things now forget about the titles Bellew Cleverly is a top end domestic matchup. So is this along with Burns Crolla though Burns should be legitimately looking towards top 10/5 fighters.

    Totally agree. Clev-Bellew was a good Euro level fight and a great scrap!

    I would be pretty confident in Brook beating either Bailey or Jones.
