    2012 looks to be the year for Kell Brook makes a bit more noise in the boxing world, wondering who do you guys feel he should fight next here are some good opponents off the top of my head:

    Mosley
    Loser of Berto/Ortiz
    Loser of Alexander/Maidana
    Mailignaggi

    I'm leaning toward Malignaggi seasoned pro doesn't punch hard (We still do not know what Brook chin is about so its probably a good idea to start him off slow with a somewhat named opponent that does not hit as hard) Thoughts?

    I forgot to mention if he Fights and beats Mosley who is past prime while at the same tine having a name that should definitely boost him up and land him a Khan fight who he seems to want to fight should be big especially in the UK

    He wont get Mosely next for $ reasons, same with Senchenko.

    Berto & Ortiz arent available for his next fight in March.

    My guess is he'll be fighting Hatton or Paulie next, most likely it'll be Hatton.

    His next opponent is announced on Monday.

    I honestly think the Matthew Hatton fight sells well in the UK , i like it , looking beyond that sort of level whats wrong with any of the following ;

    Jones
    Senchenko
    Aydin
    Malignaggi
    Mosley
    Alexander / Matthyse - down the line
    Ortiz / Berto 2 - down the line

    This year Brook will be in a big fight , thats nailed on , im looking forward to it .............. , personally id like to see him fight Khan , theoretically lets say Khan gets his Peterson rematch or rematches Prescott , Brook wins a title by the summer , and Khan regains a belt @40 beating Peterson / Bradley (more likely Morales) along the way , bang you have your big winter fight , by which time Khan and Brook will of both fought twice

    Do you think its likely a carefully built-up American prospect/contender will travel to the UK to fight in a 3k capacity arena against another unbeaten prospect/contender with no belts on the line?

    I'd like to see the fight but there's no way its going to happen anytime soon.

    My bad, I thought it was the same venue as the Jackeiwicz fight.
