    ...and also has no intention of avoiding his mandatory challenger, Errol Spence Jr. According to Brook, it's a tasty fight. Let's hope the fight gets made. We all know that Spence wants the fight badly.

    If Brook isn't permanently damaged, it's a good test for Spence. Brook is fast, has a good jab, and a powerful right hand.

    I still take Spence to win. He's just better. But his chin will get checked and we'll learn more about him.

    Spence is Brook's MANDATORY Defense...He'll Be Stripped if he Doesn't Face Spence....

    Brook Isn't a Big Enough NAME to "Coerce" the Sanctioning Bodies into Prolonging This Much Fuuuuurther...

    He'll be stripped. Hearn will spin some yarn about 'not being able to reach fair terms...Brook is a mainstream PPV star...he deserves the biggest cut' etc and blame the OBF in full when Brook is stripped.

    If that happens, nowhere to really go for Brook. He isn't a bonafide ppv star at all and his options are limited. I doubt Khan will come calling for a fight.

    He could move up to 154 but I don't see any YUUUUGE fights for him up there either.

    you can call it cashing out or whatever you please, but to step in the ring with golovkin is far more dangerous than to step in the ring with spence.

    Brook isn't necessarily 'scared' of these foes. He just knows he will lose against these foes, so he will choose not to fight them. GGG was an easy, albeit certainly doomed, 'risk' to take in that regard. An easily explainable defeat, with his team waiting in the wings to call a halt before it got too messy, and a shitload of cash banked.

    That he could afford. This he can't. He'll not make this fight.

    Losing to Golovkin meant nothing, he even gained from "being competitive" for a handful of rounds...losing to Spence at his own weight would be a lot more damaging, and that fight will not happen, v skeptical

    none of these other guys are keen to face Golovkin, for career high paydays. brook got his face broken. spence is not a big money fight for him either, so the risk vs reward dicates hearn probably wont let it happen. if it were up to brook i see no reason he wouldnt take the fight.

    It's about the Hearn business model, not questioning Brook's cojones

    All you got to do is ask.

    Down here, the heavyweight champion, really is - playing football.

    If Brook isn't scarred from the Golovkin fight, he'll give Spence a good fight. Just think Spence will prove too savage for him.

    I don't think Brook is scared of Spence.

    But that won't stop him from getting beaten down.

    I really hope this comes off. Time to settle this welterweight debate once and for all.

    Winner of Brook-Spence fights winner of Thurman-Garcia.

    Of course, I'm confident Spence will come out on top when the smoke clears.
