    No I'm not.

    Brook, if he fights this dude, has fought a single top 10 WW in THREE fights.

    Smacks of holding the belt hostage.

    You have to be joking! Beating a shot to sh*t Hatton means nowt, mate.

    Algieri's win over Prov > Senchecnko's win over Hatton.

    :rofl
    OK you sound like you are a Khan fan, If so I can understand you are upset at Algieri and feel a little bit of a fool and want to try and turn it on Brook.

    Brook beat Porter in the US and then nearly had his leg sliced off and has been out for 7 months.
    Also Brook fought his mandatory last weekend, not a very good mandatory but it is not Brook doing the rankings but anyway he fought the number 1 for the belt so how is Brook "holding the belt hostage"? And how is he holding hostage if he has offered Khan a shot?

    Forget Mayweather or Pacquiao for a moment and you tell me what Khan has done at WW to even deserve a world title shot?

    I personally think Khan has done nothing at WW to deserve a title shot yet but Khan was offered one and refused it for Chris Algieri.

    Forget Brook and tell me how you seem to have accepted Khan has turned all that down for Algieri?

    Funny thing is that probably less than 12 months ago I would have predicted Khan beating Brook on points.

    Not any more, Khan obviously has no confidence in beating Brook or he would have taken the belt, the money and the ranking.

    I understand what you are trying to say, but the interest is really for a fight between Brook and Khan, and not so much with other opponents for either, even if they are good opposition

    Hold on, Diego is muted as being Kell's next opponent. That isn't a mandatory. So why not fight someone who is top 10?

    Khan hasn't done a thing to warrant a shot at WW, that I agree on. But tell me this... What other champ at WW is fighting no-marks beside Brook?

    I think Khan doesn't want to know because Eddie is involved. Let's not forget that when Khan faced McCloskey, the Hearns were acting like loudmouthed chavs towards Amir. Now they need him more than he needs them - that is a fact.

    some people including this site have chavez top 10 (i personally don't) don't think anyone has algeiri in their top 10.

    realistically the only financially viable option in the top 10 other than khan is a rematch against porter. Marquez may take it as if he wins and has the ibf belt, he's very likely to fight the may vs pac winner and could charge some good money for it.

    Right we agree Khan is not worthy of a shot at WW, fair play.

    Brook wants a fight in May, now for convenience let's use Boxrec rankings, yes they are off in my opinion but it names the names.

    Mayweather Vs Pacquiao (boxrec 1 & 2) forget either.

    Thurman (4th)is coming off a tough'ish 12 round fight, some facial/head damage, I'm sure he would take it but probably not that soon.

    Already beat Porter (boxrec 8th)

    Bradley (9th) is coming off a draw with Chaves (11th), JMM (3rd) 41 years old and lost to Bradley two fights ago.

    Khan (7th) does not want any part of Brook. No good reason not to take it.

    Oh my god Rios is ranked 10th on there.

    Would Maidana (6th) come to the UK for May after his stock rising so high after the two Mayweather fights?

    Brook (5th) wanted to fight Khan, Khan had no opponent, Khan had no commitments but has refused and has chosen to go after Algieri who is not even ranked at WW on there.

    So what should Brook do? You tell me?

    And I repeat I do not agree with the rankings on there but they are just guide to who is near the top of the division.

    He should go for Maidana.

    1) If he KO's him he does something that Floyd nor Khan could do.
    2) If he beat him he can match Amir's best win. Also gives Kell a good name at 147.
    3) That'd be a great fight, stylistically speaking! Deffo ppv.

    I hope algieri beats him i really do, khan has been hurt by non punchers before and khan may think he can walk through algieri because of his lack of power and walk right on to something

    Heard the news and assumed it was a late April Fools or something.

    This clown is becoming a bigger and bigger joke.
