Maybe Keith Thurman takes one more bout before for a title challenge- might it be Brook ?

Can't see Brook at 147 again at this stage of his career personally, if he carries on I'd expect it to be at 154 or a similar catchweight.

He's been giving it the large on Twitter, apparently.

I reckon so, the biggest money out there for Brook which I think is his goal now.
For Eubank a smaller, older guy with a name.

Eubank has been saying that Brook stole the GGG fight from him?
I took it that Eubank pulled out and Brook stepped in at short notice.

No one mentioning Taylor at all? He’s due a move up to welter and Kell could make 149lb again for a couple of mil.

Kell is in the position to dictate for once. He either needs to make Benn fight at 154 or weaken Eubank with a weight stipulation.

Eubank Senior messed it up. Junior was not involved in negotiations.

Prob right but I never heard anything about Brook nicking it.
Also while I'm sure Brook got paid well and put up a fine effort, it effectively ruined his career.

Junior would have had a big enough say in it if he really had wanted to fight GGG back then - but he swallowed it. Its quite telling that he is chasing Brook instead of the world title. He is smart enough at his age and after all these years as a professional to know its about making money for him .. he is never going to be remembered as one of the top British fighters, so grab as much money as possible about now.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Eubank fight.
It will be a decent fight and I think Brook beats him on points.

Can't see it ,, i just see Brook going at Eubank the same way , and just bouncing off him , Groves , and Saunders lot bigger than kell but did'nt stop him , Eubank just too big and too strong much the way Kell was over Amin ,, and Eubank is'nt shot and finished like Amir was , , then again i'm usually wrong
Far better fight for my money is Benn ,, Kell seemed to come down in weight for Amir and retain his strenght , he obviously done it proper , he could do it again
