    If Brook doesnt face Spence its a duck also even if he moves up.

    Im a Brook fan and have said in here he would face spence but if he doesnt its a blatant duck almost as bad as Khan!

    Yeah blatant duck if he doesn't fight Spence. He'd have a better case if he just definitively said he was going to 154 without filing for the extension, but he wanted to fight Kahn at 147. He should do the right thing and fight Spence, and it would make good money in the UK because Spence is an easy to sell threat to his belt.
    It's very weak to say he can't get motivated for a hungry dangerous fighter. Nobody wants to hear these excuses they just want to see the fight.

    He's been doing it for years, first it was get a world title, then fight someone more high profile. Now it's give me 70%. Haha Khan is so delusional, no one comes close to this guys delusional state of mine. Not even Ward

    How would it make good money? It'd do ok i guess but nobody really knows spence, itd be seen as another brook mandatory i feel and wouldnt get much hype behind it. I think brook is just craving those mega fights that gets the whole of the uk talking about it... spence isnt that at all. He has a big decision to make though, stay at 147 and take care of a young hugry fighter for little money then hope for pacquaio/khan/thurman later in the year or just move up now but risk people saying he ducked spence... which is just stupid after he went up 2 weights to fight the most feared boxer..lol but people will say it.

    Brook is ducking Spencer no doubt. I think it's a fight he knows he loses also.

    It is a duck if he doesn't fight Spence. The negotiations with Khan were kind of stupid anyway since he would have had to fight Spence anyway and the outcome of that fight would have changed the landscape of the Khan fight making whatever they agreed upon prior to that subject to change.

    Out of everyone I never expected Brook to pull the "he's not a big name" card.

    From bursting onto the British scene it took him 6 years to get his title shot. He knows more than anyone about how a small name talent can be frozen out so I can't believe he'd do the same to Spence.

    At 147 there's only real Pacquiao, Bradley and Khan you could defend as a fight choice over Spence.

    Other than that it would have to be a move up.

    Brook wasn't rated high enough to be frozen out, he just didn't want big hard fights

    Porter and Golovkin were both big hard fights imo.

    Who has Porter beaten that makes him a bad man, Usyk in the am's lol?
    Devon Alexander is his best win and he barely beat him, Khan beat him 12-0

    I didn't say he was a bad man, I have no idea who he fought in the ams.

    What I said was Porter and Golovkin were both big hard fights.

    Maybe you rate Brook higher than me but I was surprised he beat Porter.

    I'm saying Porter isn't that good, Khan would best him even easier and you would call him a bum

    I would call who a bum?

    You must have seen something in Brook that I didn't because I didn't expect him to win, whereas you did. Kudos to you for spotting talent sir, I hope you made some money at the bookies expense.

    I didn't even think Brook won, and that was against cave man Porter, Brook is worse then I thought
