    Whilst I agree with Khan for once Brook was the mandatory killer till Spence came about then suddenly they have to see how he is at the weight and how his eye feels and whether there are better fights blah blah.

    However Khan is the wrong messenger, here's a guy who has been in the mandatory position to fight someone who took one his belts and smashed him to bits yet he chooses to ignore this opportunity and get knocked out cold instead in a fight he could never have won.

    He's been ducking Brook for at least 2 years giving him demands then when he achieves them he moves the goal posts.

    Spence should have been the fight instead of golovkin in the first place. Had no business taking him on at that weight.

    Although now its too risky a fight to take immediately after the defeat to golvokin. Spence is good. Wont pay that well either. If he did beat brook...its a long road back to the top. Bearing in mind hes struggled to get big name fights anyway.

    Needs either khan or an easier opponent. At least if khan beats him hes paid well.

    I agree with you but I don't care what this guy Brook does as long he makes it clear soon coz his stalling Spence's career I don't think he wants the Spence fight so just let the guy fight for the belt and he can carry on chasing Khan for the rest of his career.

    Kind of needs khan to commit before giving up the belt. Its pretty much a business...brooks just looking out for the best oppertunity for himself. He might still take the spence fight.

    Kind of looks like spence isnt in a massive rush for it either if the rumours true hes trying to fight someone else before brooks medical suspensions up

    How's Spence a bum if Brook is willing to vacate his title to avoid him

    He just doesn't want to waste he's time facing a no name fighter when he has bigger fish to fry

    When Spence stops facing bums and steps up he will no longer be a bum

    Spence needs to be enforcing this mandatory if Brook ducks him then he's a joker

    Khan is a ****ing joke. What? Fighting GGG isn't respect worthy, who unlike Canelo was is a full fledged MW, what a piece of garbage little b**** he is.

    A joker doesn't step up 13lbs and fight a top 3 P4P fighter.

    Not sure how many times it has to be said but how has Spence been waiting? The IBF have never called the mandatory. Secondly why has Al Haymon never put up an offer to brook to fight Spence as a voluntary?

    Nothing stopping Haymon making Brook an offer but they never have.

    Spence hasn't been waiting at all!!!

    Golovkin was a win-win for Brook though. Spence is a legitimate threat to his title

    Brook was never meant to fight GGG. An opportunity arose due to Chris Eubank Jnr bottling it.

    As I said above Al Haymon could of made Brook an offer last summer to fight Spence. Ask yourself why team Spence have never seeked to get Brook in the ring?

    I'm a British boxing fan and over the last couple of years I've sort of turned on Brook for the world title defences against Dan, Gavin and Bizier, they were simply not good enough.

    Even before those defences, take Porter away and Brooks resume is wafer thin, even though Brook showed plenty of promise and I believed he could mix it with the best in the division it was so frustrating that he wasn't in huge fights.

    Then Brook went to 160 and fought Golovkin, I have to give him credit for that because while the likes of Eubank Jr, Saunders, Canelo, Jacobs were giving GGG a swerve or making it difficult to make a fight Brook stepped up and stepped in, now let's be honest it was a money fight for Brook with not a lot to lose considering he would still be champion at 147 and he got beaten up but he talked the talk and walked the walk, he stood and fought Golovkin and was stopped by his corner on his feet.

    Now on to Khan and Spence Jr, although I'm British and want to see Brook Vs Khan because it's a big fight here in the U.K. and will finally settle all Khan/Brook disputes I believe Brook should fight Spence Jr next, I want to see it, Brook has had too many soft touches at 147 and I think Khan is a soft touch now, I genuinely believe Khan is now damaged goods, I think Canelo has completely ruined him.

    So for the good of boxing and a much more competitive fight and also the fact Brook still needs to prove himself at 147 I think it has to be Spence Jr.

    Khan really should be irrelevant in the big picture, let's say Brook Vs Khan happens and Brook knocks him silly, what does it prove? What's new? Khan has been knocked silly so many times now it's starting to get boring.
