    It's a rock and a hard place for Brook. He was hiding from Spence behind the fight with Khan but now that Khan has vacated that spot, Brook is just standing there ( naked as a jay bird ) with no place to go and exposed to the world. He got 154 which ain't no picnic (the hard place) and he got Spence ( the rock ). What is Brook gonna do, any ideas? Save Brook.

    Spence has made it clear that he's not chomping at the bit to fight Brook as some of you whackos claim he is. When pressed on the matter he always says he 'would' fight Brook rather than he wants to fight Brooks

    Errol knows it's a difficult fight that he may well lose.

    I think you got this backwards. Amir Khan had no clothes on and was rock hard.

    It's not that. Khan is such a high benefit to risk ratio that Kell is desperate to fight him. He will fight Spence or vacate but he'd really like to knock out Khan first for big money that fight a tough gritty fight for little money.

    Not true, Spence has been calling for that fight for months. As a matter of fact, his wish is to unify all the titles and then move up to 154 and fight Canelo. Actually, he is expecting Brook to vacate, and I don't think that he is to far off the mark.

    My prediction is he will have another mysterious injury and won't fight until he gets Khan at the end of the year and he will get Khan.

    That fight was always going to happen but both have already seen better days.

    Khan will school him and Brook will be
    A) a bum and B) drained

    He was making a pretty funny joke, I am assuming based on latest alegations of Khan's sex tape

    Thing is Khan often schools everyone,I mean genuinely schools folk until he does what he always does and provides the world with another knockout of the year highlight,he's incredibly dumb for such a gifted boxer,he's fought the same fight over twenty times lol.

    Oh, lol, my bad. I missed the joke. I wasn't even thinking about the sex tapes as I only heard about them today.

    You see, your argument would maybe carry more weight if Brook didn't just fight Golovkin at the full 160 limit and have his face broken.

    If you are a welterweight and are willing to move up two weights to fight a man that is regarded by many as probably one of the biggest punchers in boxing P4P then I don't see you ducking any welterweight, sorry I just can't see it.

    The Khan fight was being talked about long before Spence was on the scene and has been talk about for years, it's a huge fight for the UK, for both fighters and probably the biggest payday both can get so it hasn't just been invented to avoid Spence Jr.

    As for Spence Jr, I rate him highly but let's get a few things straight. Mayweather has recently accused Thurman of ducking Spence Jr, never mentioned Brook I believe and Spence is mandatory for Brook but there is a real possibility that if the fight is made then Spence will get a mandatory % pay day and have to come to the UK because Hearn and Sky will really back Brook.

    We will see what happens if and when it goes to purse bids because I have a feeling Spence will take a different direction if Matchroom let it go to purse bids and I won't call it a duck, it makes sense for Spence Jr to target the winner of Thurman Vs Garcia, two belts and a bigger fight in his own country, it makes a lot more sense, then if Spence Jr wins a Brook fight would be absolutely huge.

    I'm not suggesting Brook is ruling the division or is even the best, Brooks resume is thin, very thin all things considered but Spence Jr's isn't exactly great is it? Algieri or Bundu is his best win, take your pick, so as good as Spence Jr looks he is completely untested.

    So Khan went up and faced Canelo a guy who many consider to be a bigger puncher than GGG (hits harder for a single shot). Therefore using this logic Khan has never ducked Brook!!! Trolls on here need to STFU now, I agree now!!!!!!!
