    Froch had the Super 6. If they do a Super 6 at 147 and invite Brook, I'm sure he'll enter it.

    DeGale has only just fought for a title away from home (just like Brook) He has fought Bute since then so he has only really faced one more top opponent than Brook.

    Maybe that's part of the reason why he is struggling to get big fights?

    Like I said in my previous post, you can't necessarily put it all on him.

    If his team aren't doing a good enough job then that's not all on him (and you can't always just leave either, look at the struggles ward has had since trying to leave his promoter).

    If the opponents aren't willing to fight him, that's also not all on him.

    Even before super six Froch faced Pascal and Taylor.
    Brook would probably be Bute of super six.
    He can say no to opponent instead of facing guys that are not good enough to be sparring partners.
    Degale faced Dirrell and Bute away, and Groves fight was big risk so early, aside from Porter Groves ****s on every opponent Brook had, Brook is UK version of Wilder nothing more to it one decent win all others not worth mentioning.
    Lets hope he does step up but for now its shameful, and he and Eddie are making them self look like idiots cause they literally beg Khah for fight :patsch

    Froch facing Pascal is the equivalent of Brook facing Porter. Froch fought Taylor in the Super 6, not before it.

    Yes DeGale fought Groves. That is the equivalent of Brook facing Khan. The difference is Khan hasn't been willing to fight Brook whereas Groves was actually willing to fight DeGale.

    :patsch Check your facts, Froch faced Taylor prior to super 6, in super 6 he faced Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, Johnson and Ward.

    Easy mistake to make. Seems a bit strange that they would have Taylor in the tournament with Froch after Froch had already KO'd him.

    Anyway, prior to the tournament Froch had fought one more big name opponent than Brook has currently fought and he was arguably a shot fighter coming up from the division below.

    Just saw a quote of Arum saying this fight wont happen, not enough money for him.. would be a interesting one if it came off.

    No, Bob Arum replied to this rumor and said they won't fight Brook because no one knows who he is i.e. no money.

    "Good way of avoiding"? This is the best fight that could be made @147.
