    I think h should retire, but if not Taylor at 149ib if Taylor would fight at that weight. If not Garcia or Thurman.

    Eubank at 157 for me if he can get 70% of the purse.

    Wouldn’t begrudge Kell a big payday before he calls it a day and that’s the biggest payday

    He should just retire. Khan hit him plenty but he can't punch above 140. If Benn lands who's younger and fresher things could end differently.

    Benn's chinn would get a proper test then as well so it would be interesting while it lasted probably a 50/50 fight. Connor has improved and he's explosive with a bit of pop, but they are protecting him from anyone with a decent dig.

    No interest in seeing him face Eubank, Brook is just too small. He would give it a go but unless Eubank keeps trying to be a Z list copy of RJJ. Can only see one winner there.


    A Khan rematch, it's a hard sell really it was so one sided. The hype machine would get involved especially if Khan has a soft touch KO when he next fights but even then I just can't see it being a headline fight paying the big money they would both want.

    Garcia and Thurman would have been great fights some years ago.

    Benns chin would get a test? Brook couldn’t knock out shot to pieces glass jawed one armed khan, khan was still on his feet after eating hundreds of flush punches. Brooks power is completely gone at 147 on that evidence.

    matchroom would LOVE a piece of that non puncher 147 shot old version of Brook for that little runt Connor BENNE to feast on and call it a big name scalp

    Still think Brook would be the biggest and most reliable puncher (in terms of getting power punches on target) Benn would face.
    Khan was hurt multiple times and the ref stepped in to save him from a bad KO. Let's be honest Khan was fighting his absolute arse off he just didn't have the pop to slow Brook down but he was giving it everything he had left. Khan's always been vulnerable but if Brook's timing has faded he can still punch hard enough to trouble someone like Benn. Khan was hanging on for his life on multiple occasions.

    Benn might beat Brook that's true the weight is probably favorable for him. He looks fast with some spite and variety but he's been moved away from anyone with a dig. Most of his opponents have around a 30% of wins as stoppages. Brook is more like 65% a big difference.
