    Garcia is a fraud of epic proportions at 147.

    How come Kell can't wait till one of those guys are free though? His career has been stalled as it is, so it's nothing new to wait a bit longer...

    First off, Spence gives me waaaay more reason to be excited than Jo Jo Dan!

    Secondly, If Kell doesn't get Vargas, he's screwed. As there's only killers left after that. That's how it ruins his plans of fighting no-marks.

    I feel for Kell, so many people give him grief for not fighting these big names yet fail to acknowledge that none of the big names have shown any interest in fighting due to him being such a high risk & low reward. Hope he gets the Vargas fight just to give him a platform for bigger fights in the future.

    lol, i like how kell brook is being termed by eddie and his fans as the most avoided figher?

    stop lying to yourself. kell brook was offered timothy bradley and he rejected that. it's on youtube and he admits it. brandon rios fell through. diego chavez fell through, now vargas will fall through after kell brook can't put on his big boy pants and come to usa

    eddie hearn was also quoted saying the brook thurman fight isn't a head turner so basically saying it's high risk low reward.

    they just don't want to risk kell brook because he's hearn's only cash cow. the only time he doesn't get injured and takes 3 fights on the trot is when he's fighting cab drivers. he's a fake, only in boxing to chase khan and khan showing him the finger

    Nobody denies he turned down bradley. Reasons = very low money and he would have lost his IBF ranking. That's fair enough.

    Brandon Rios pulled out of negotiations himself. He got offered the bradley fight by arum so took that.

    Brook broke his rib in preparation for Chavez but you are now gonna tell us that it was a lie and their was no injury. Brook was running scared of Chavez. Lol

    Eddie hearn made that comment about Thurman a long time in the past. You know that isnt recent. If Thurman beats porter that's a huge fight.

    Why do you not mention that brook said yes to cotto fight, they offered Bradley a fight bit Timothy wants to take a rest.

    Eddie spoke with al haymon regarding Garcia and they don't want the fight.

    Instead Danny Garcia is calling out Andre berto.

    Vargas is the only fighter who is willing to fight in he immediate future. Not next year but a fight in the next few months.

    At the end of the day Brook has fought no-one of note in comparison to Khan, hence he is still undefeated and probably a lot less well off.

    If I was Brook I'd be a bit peed off at not having fought anyone other than Porter.

    He wants Khan for the money pure and simple.

    finally, someone who is actually reading what im writing and actually challenging the facts! :good

    you are right about chavez i will say there was probably no injury because based on brook's past you can say it's questionable. he was supposedly injured twice while trying to face alexander too (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/bo...ll-Brook-withdraws-Devon-Alexander-fight.html)

    but the interesting thing is when he needs to fight 3 bums (jo jo, frankie, bizier) in 4 months time he never gets injured :think. s naturally i will have doubts on his injury being legit

    can't blame bradley for wanting to take a break, after all brook ducked him early in his career anyway.

    as for cotto, ok i will give them that. but my point is opportunities have been there but they don't want to leave great britian and risk anything. rather just chase khan while khan headlines in vegas

    Shawn Porter and then you have a whole lot of not so talented fighters to choose from. Why are you asking me this :s

    pot calling kettle black.

    Does one really have to see what Khan was saying on his pursuit for Mayweather.

    He or Khan fans are in no position to criticise Brook chasing Khan when Amir Khan at every opportunity had to mention Mayweather.

    The same Amir Khan who gave mayweather a deadline lol

    Even last week before the biggest fight of his career he couldn't help himself mentioning Mayweather.

    Desperation or just plain dillusional

    I think kell would go to the States for the right fight but for the immediate future what opportunities are their for Brook.

    If you sit down and think about it. There really isn't much he can do right now. Sit and wait for another 6 months would be silly. He needs to fight twice before end of year so a summer fight has to happen.

    Vargas isn't the biggest name but it's the biggest fight he is gonna get this summer.

    Khan doesnt want this fight.
    He feels that if he was to lose this fight his rep in the uk wouldnt leave the legacy he wants.

    I remember when Brook won the world title and told Khan he'd have to get in the queue :lol:. He then proceeds to beg Khan for a fight for the next two years.

    Who cares what Khans reasons are for not fighting him? It shouldn't matter. Brook needs to accept it and fight someone else.

    Khan is not scared of Brook either ffs. Just fight someone remotely decent. Even Algeiri would be a good test for Brook. But Hearn ridiculed Khan for taking that one :lol:
