    Makes a lot of sense for both sides:

    - JMM is desperate for a WW title, Kell Brook has one

    - Fight would do pretty big numbers

    - From Kell's perspective it's a stylistically very winnable fight plus JMM is a legend: a great name to get on your resume even though he might be past prime

    I'd love to see it.

    It's an amazing fight for me personally but it could prove to be dull at points since both of them are counter punchers but often swap to boxer punchers. This fight would give Brook all the publicity he needs. It's not going to happen because Marquez is 41 and wants one mega payday(Mayweather or Pacquiao) or he's retiring. The last time he spoke about his future he said he's interested in a fight with the winner of Mayweather vs Pacquiao. I personally think he's going to retire soon.

    Brook is fighting Rios next. His team already sent him the contract and Rios' manager said that the fight could happen on the 29th of August.

    Wants a mega fight with Mayweather or Pac? :rofl Pac was begging him for another fight and he said he had closed that chapter! The irony of Marquez. And now he wants a fight. I doubt, Floyd will fight him again.

    Brook v Bradley would be better

    There's only one fight left for the Fighter of the Decade

    Marquez vs Morales in Mexico

    JMM only wants big names for big paydays Brook doesn't offer that. I can't see it happening.
