    Ah ok didnt know he was tied up! I still feel that McCloskey is a weak choice

    Could the same not be said of Mcloskey tho?

    A Brook fight could still be used as a keep busy fight whilst also testing whether Brook is world class or not...i think it actually makes sense now. It would sell decently over here

    On paper its not that bad a choice. Hes staying active by givivng an oppertunity to the undefeated european champ whos worked his way up the ranks.

    Reminds of Hamed vs Ingle a few years back, although this wont be nearky as competative as that. In reality we could be looking at another Salita job

    Yeah it would sell great overhere, but, give Kell Brook 12 months and hopefully he will be a lot more well known stateside and fingers crossed the fight will happen.

    Unfortunatly I see this as a fight that Kell will chase but Khan wont entertain.

    Nah hes not gunna entertain it really, whether its actually true or not in 12 months, Khan will toe the line that he is too much a league above Brook in terms of money and recognition in the states and that he will chase bigger names instead.

    Il tell you what tho...we all better hope for the good of the sport that Bradley beats Alexander this saturday, because if Devon were to win, from the noises hes made recently i can imagine him pissing about and not trying to unify with Khan. Whereas Bradley will happily go right ahead with making a Khan fight

    What?

    Did you see Brook's last fight?

    Oh. My. God.

    His opponent was a ****ing joke.
