    Hearn says HBO offered them the Cotto fight for June 18, but Cotto and his team are looking for an easier fight...

    Good fight for Brook. I got Cotto destroying him, though.

    If Brook was offered the fight with Cotto by HBO-who pays the freight-why does Hearn say Cotto turned it down?It does not make sense since presumably Cotto approved the fight with HBO to begin with.
    Eddie telling Porkies-as usual.:huh

    Eddie mentions the ideal fight with Khan or winner of PAC Bradley and other options as well.
    The Cotto possibility was baited.

    Also mentioned an interest in GGG at a catchweight.

    They're tossing a net for a big name in June !

    He is tossing big names because Brook's next fight isn't shifting tickets as well as he hoped. Always talk of big names and then boom, you get Frankie Gavin

    Hearn is talking complete nonsense as usual when it comes to Brook.

    GGG and Brook would never happen for obvious reasons. Khan is tied up, Garcia/Thurman/Cotto/Marquez won't come to the UK and Brook (bar Porter) has shown no intention of going to the States to fight the best.

    The only option I see for Brook for a decent fight is Bradley considering Tim does have the CV which suggests he would fight all on comers.

    Having said all this, expect Brooks big summer fight to be against Vargas

    No disrespect to Cotto, but his best days are behind him. Kell Brook would wipe the floor with him.
