    I figured brook wasn't coming back after that 30 day weigh in

    Hope spence fights Thurman or at least a top 3 IBF contender too often you see tv fighters get a vacancy fight vs a guy in the lower top 10

    With the IBF I don't think it matters if he fights a top 3 guy or not. Sometimes the IBF ranked 13, 14, and 15 are better fighters than the ranked 1, 2, and 3 guys. Look at Brook's mandatorys since he won the IBF.

    True I just hate seeing a 1 face number 10 for the belt?

    Ponomarev has already declined it once he will again, one thing I know is there is no soft puncher beating Spence, to beat him your gunna need some pop or else he will get you at some point. Wouldn't mind seeing horn vs spence to prospects.

    He doesn't bang hard enough although he has skills if he did it would be very competitive, I think horn has more pop so I would prefer that fight.

    I really like Ponomarev, last time I seen him fight against Solomon I was like dang this dude can fight, and like you say, he's got skills. I like that fight for spence.
