When he gets the opportunity of a big fight he bottles it. Lopez would be a good choice for Hearn. If Brook can't cut it against Lopez there's no point investing in getting him another world title shot. I think it's going to be somebody with more name value but past it. Some former 140/7 world champ who won't cost too much. Suggestions anybody?
It seems to be the consensus that Brook isn't actually fighting a top opponent, I haven't followed his career enough to know why I guess. After Hearn announced a big fight next I just assumed either Alexander was back on, or possibly Maidana would get the fight. Neither of those guys have anything lined up, why not? Old Mosley would've made business sense but that doesn't seem likely, same with Zab Judah, who would cost more than they'd hope.
Judah took the Garcia fight for 300,000 and he fought on NBC Sports last year and I can't imagine they pay well, they could afford Zab.
