    Thurman. Looks like Brook is the goods, time for Thurman to take a step up if he wants to be a real commodity.

    JMM would be interesting.

    Bundu no, Rios no, Lopez... not sure tbh.

    Think it will end up being Rios though....good enough to get on US TV but not a massive threat

    It will be quite impressive to see him KO Rios, who has a good chin.

    They aren't interested in Alexander because he may be fighting Khan that same night and they think Alexander would make for a boring fight.

    It probably won't be Bundu (he still needs to be Ion Ion Dan to become official mandatory, and US TV are interested in showcasing in and they aren't interested in him) and he might actually stylistically be the most difficult fight so the risk/reward out of the 5 for him is the lowest.

    Yeah. I think Thurman himself is pushing for it but I'm guessing Golden Boy aren't overly keen for him to come to the UK and risk having another one of their fighters exposed by Brook, plus other than Marquez I'd assume he wants the most money- and he's less known in these parts than Marquez or Rios, so a fight with Thurman may have to marinate a bit.

    Who did you expect on it? Do you expect Mayweather and Pacquiao to travel to Sheffield and fight Brook in December? :lol::lol:

    My guess would be Lopez, being that Rios could apparently be fighting Provodnikov- and I think Arum only has Provo for 1 more fight, it's not gonna be Pacquiao, he's beaten Alvarado and I think Marquez isn't interested in much else other than getting a belt at 147.

    from that list either Kieth Thurman or Juan Manuel Marquez

    Lopez is 3-3 in his last six with 2 stoppage losses and knocked down 6 times.

    Rios is coming off losses to Alvarado and Pacquiao along with the messy affair with Diego Chaves . . . do not want to see this fight

    Leonard Bundu recently held a win over Frankie Gavin but also wins over Lee Purdy and Rafael Jackiewicz so he is somewhat a credible opponent with an undefeated record and would also seem he has a fair amount of power that could upset the apple cart

    Kieth Thurman like Brook has been waiting an eternity for a title shot, very dangerous power but he can be outboxed to some extent. he is a very big welterweight so Brook would struggle to tie him up on the inside like he did Porter. Very risky but would boost Kell's stock if he were to beat another "Mike Tyson"

    Juan Manuel Marquez proved he can still put on a masterclass against world class opponents whilst showing the ability to finish a fight emphatically with a single punch. He may get old over night if Kell beats him and Marquez has touched the canvas more than Picasso so is a very lucrative fight with a big name
