Next year are? Brook: Done nothing of note since beating Porter years ago and has regressed, plain and simple. If the Khan fight isn't there then he must fight a top operator. These mandatories are ruining his credibility. Usually having a belt is a bargaining chip - with Kell and his team they would be better off without it if all they are going to do is face pointless mandatory one after the other. Khan: Hasn't beaten an elite name in years. Needs to fight someone that isn't called Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pac. The delusion this lad is suffering from is unseen, IMO. He needs to fight a Porter/Thurman/Bradley/Brook. Anything less and he might as well call it a day due to him already wasting his prime years. Quigg: Needs to unify. Providing he beats Carl Frampton, Scott MUST face Rigo. He is simply masquerading around with the belts and they were either vacants that he won (by drawing!) or because Rigo has been stripped. He needs to go for unification if he beats Frampton (ditto for Frampton, too). Ward: Needs to crack on, sharpish. Kovalev, Beter or Stevenson. Nothing else will do. This diva has made one bad choice after the other, now he needs to make a move on. If he beats all three his legacy would be outstanding. The best around it could be, IMO. Dominates two divisions, cleans them out (more or less) and stays undefeated? Amazing feat. Wilder: Complete and utter farce of a champion. Needs to get a Fury fight on if he beats Povetkin. His resume would look a hell of a lot better if he beats those two. Maidana: Still some great fights out there for him. Man, this guy could be in some modern fights that would be potential GOAT when it comes to wars. Thurman Porter Bradley Provodnikov Canelo (if he chose to move up) Golovkin (step too far, but entertaining all the same) I enjoy watching him fight. As that's what he does - fight! Still, if he's content to get fat and live the good life after his Mayweather pay days then good on him! He's earned it. Still think there's some classic/must-see fights out there for him.
On the surface, it would seem that Brook is using his chasing of the Khan fight -- and the subsequent failure to land it -- as an excuse to swerve top 10 guys, like Thurman, Spence, Bradley, and a Porter rematch. As you correctly stated, there is more out there for Kell than just an Amir Khan fight. And speaking of Khan: his delusion in trying to dictate terms to Mayweather would have been simply laughable, if it wasn't so pathetic.
Frankie Gavin vs. Khan/Brook/Bundu back to back etc.. He can fight overseas or something.. he can still enter USA with affray.. might not need a visa post 2015 now..
Frankie has no hope of getting a fight with Khan and why would Brook give him a rematch after he was outclassed last time?
Boxing is a joke. Fighter's should be in competitive bouts EVERY single time they compete. Only if they are fighting regularly can they justify the odd stay busy/keep sharp type of fight. Very few fighters finish a career of 10-20 years and have been involved in a number of 50-50 competitive bouts.
