All good fights for Brook.

Maidana, will move back down to 140. Hes very crude and doesnt have a skillset to match Brook, and at 147 his power is diminshed imo, he was horrible against Alexander. Brook v Maidana would be a mismatch imo.

McCloskey, again, a 140 fighter. lost to Prescott imo, and against Khan (even though it was a joke of a stoppage), in the time we did see him against khan he lost every round. I think this would also be a mismatch, the best i could see McCloskey doing is making things akward and ugly for a while.

Malignaggi, he already had the crap beat out of him against Ricky & Amir. Althoug he does have a title shot though aganist Senchenko - if he happened to pull it off then Brook should certainly go after him for his belt - he'd stop paulie imo.

My pick Jones seems up for the challenge.

Its not that bad of a fight, for the simple reason is we dont know how good brooks chin is at least we will find something out about him. Its not my choice but i wouldnt be completely against it if they cant get any other fights set up.
Prescott now calling Brook out over at the Scene...

He ranked high but lost 8 times would he help sell the place out.

I think either Mcloskey, Maidana or Prescott. Winning any one of these fights will push him much closer to a big showdown with Khan. Especially if he could win Maidana more convincingly or stop either Mcloskey or Prescott. Exciting times ahead for British boxing :D

I think they'd play on his recent 7 KO wins , and he's now found his correct weight at Welter. Where he seems to be alot stronger than when he fought at light-middle. I really think he'd test Brook.

I agree that this maybe the only one with the crudentials that hasn't been ruled out or has a fight in the next month or so...

I think id the ticket prices remain same as before £30, £40, £60, £100, £150 get Frampton a decent opponent as main undercard then other matchroom prospects/fighters, Lee Purdy, John Ryder, Ryan Aston, Scotty Cardle even Kerry Hope european defence think would sell same as before over 9000
