Just saw an interview with Eddie Hearn saying brook will not vacate and will defend against Errol spence unless a unification can be made which is unlikely, how does everyone see this playing out?

Spence will not, I'll repeat will not fight Kell in the UK

Can't see it happening, but I would lean towards Spence on points.

He won't have a choice, unless you know something we don't?

this fight I want to see

He's possibly the next golden American
He won't risk it fighting in the UK
Hope I'm wrong as it would be a great fight

If Spence won't come to England then surely a huge pay day for Brook, no wonder he ain't vacating.

I still don't believe Brook will take this fight and I won't believe it until I see him in the ring on fight night.

He's said numerous times that he's willing to come to the UK to fight Brook.

I'd fucken love it. I think I would actually pay camp Eddie to go and watch this.

Probably one of the best fights which could be made in boxing right now, hope it happens but it won't unless there is serious cheddar for both fighters.

It will be a draw.

I'd probably favor Spence on points, but I'm still not 100% sold that he's the 2nd coming like most Boxing fans already see him as.

Spence is good, but with all the predictions that he'd run through people like Thurman, Brook, and Garcia he strikes me as being overhyped at the moment. Let's see him beat people better than old Leo Bundu, featherfists Algeiri, and van Heerden....

Gone Spence Ko purely because I think it's dangerous Kell making the weight now.

A year ago I would have had it close.

Another factor I would question Brooks desire now he got that big payday to get smashed by GGG.

Hope it happens as 2016 has been awful

Errol spence k.o,errol spence is a special fighter,i know kell is good but i just think spence is on a different level

That's exactly how I see it as well.

Spence looks good but still in the "lots to prove" category, for me.

As ever, that doesn't mean he won't go on to prove himself, he may very well be a special fighter and future p4p top 5 type but I'll reserve my judgement until he beats the likes of Brook

I know what your saying but apart from porter who has kell beat who is WORLD CLASS? I dont rate him as the top welter out ther id put thurman garcia spence pacman bradley and even porter above him in the division based on who they have fought and beat

I still can't see Brook making 147 again. If by a miracle he does I see Spence winning a competitive fight on points.

He will need to give up his mandatory position then.

Or win purse bids?

I said it during the rbr thread at the time and when I re watched it the following day.

I did not have Brook winning that fight I had it Porter 115-113

Yeah in terms of welterweight rankings I would certainly have manny, Bradley, Thurman and At a push maybe Garcia ahead of Brook.

It just infuriated me during the sky build up by them labelling Brook no 1 at welterweight

Brook on points
