    I don't really believe he rejected this fight, but at the same time, he needs big names asap. I'm a fan of the guy but I think if he doesn't fight a decent name next time out I'll assume it's intentional and I ain't supporting a fighter like that.

    I think the trouble with Brook is he see's himself as the heavy A side vs everyone.

    Until the likes of Spence, Bradley or Porter are made mandatory for Brook, don't count on it.

    Brook looks set to fight Paulie Malignaggi in late July; that Paulie was on the undercard of Joshua vs Whyte seems to indicate Matchroom have had him lined up for Brook for a little while now.

    Agree completely. I also like Kell, but, unless there are genuine reasons for these big fights not getting made, he and Eddie Hearn seriously need to step it up. It seems as if Brook's prime years are going to pass him by without getting the big fights against quality opponents.

    Timely. Maybe, he'll fight Mosley after that.

    Brook only wants to fight predictable fighters. He wants no part of a fighter who can change it up.
