I don't dislike Brook, he's a decent fella but his career is being criminally mismanaged by Hearn. You're spot on he should've been fighting Peterson 3 fights ago, but they had to pick someone now to avoid Errol Spence!

its not like is a shortage of big fights out there for him either, hes in one of the most stacked divisions in boxing, he needs to swerve hearn
 
He needs to forget this obsession with fighting Khan as well. Like you say it's not like there's a shortage of fights that would make him money.
 
cant see the Peterson fight confirmed anywhere at all?

I'm also confused as to why he'd fight Spence now when he'll make much more money fighting him when he is mandatory for the IBF, he's hardly avoiding him

He's made 3 defences 2 of which have been mandated, Liam smith will have had 2 easier voluntaries by the time Brook fights next yet he doesnt get anywhere near the same amount of stick.
 
I'm not hardcore in my boxing knowledge but follow most weights, albeit not amateurs.

Anyway quick question to any aficionados on here: British heavy weights:

- is Tyson fury a nut bag / awkward boxer playing the press / both?

- is haye back again to scrape some of the Joshua / fury limelight or a serious match for either?

- how far off is Joshua from being the real deal?

Fury is a loon, but would kill Joshua at the moment.
Yes.
4 fights.

a lad on a boxing forum posted it as rumour . He has a friend working at the IBF.

It ticks all the boxes for Hearn

Beat Khan (officially anyway)

Not a proper welterweight

A fairly well known name

A lot less risk than top welterweights .
