Donaire Quigg would be great and if Quigg beats him (which I think he can) It takes away the dumb idea of Framptons team, that they are the 'A' Side. I know Carl pulls in a lot of punters back in Belfast, because he is a big fish in a little pond, but I could see the Quigg/Donaire fight selling equally well, if not better, providing Matchroom stack the undercard.

Quigg was decked good and proper by Jamie Arthur. Donaire could chin out anyone in this division (even in defeat he had Rigo on the floor and turned Walters into a stumbling drunk)

Are Donaires best days past him though? I think that's what makes this so interesting...Quigg was pretty impressive though the other night, realty didn't expect him to win like that. Frampton fight was very exciting but it has made it clear Frampton isn't too much of the heavy favourite anymore

How old is Donaire now? he seems to have been around for years, he must be knocking on.
A quick google tells me that he is 33 in a few months, I would have had him down as being older than that.
Brook-Chaves Looms, as Bizier-Lawson in IBF Eliminator - Boxing News
I would love Brook v Bradley, but according to this , it's more likely to be Chaves. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Would absolutely love this fight. Has a Hatton Tszyu feel to it.

Glad I said almost. This is why I tend to take boxingscene with a grain of salt. Because a day before this article they printed this:
If I were him I'd make the Bradley fight. Arum should push for it also since Donaire is already going to Britain should the Quigg fight get made. Maybe Desert Breeze does not want to travel? Maybe he knows he cant win. Beating Bradley would really put the pressure on Khan to sack up. Beating Chaves takes that pressure off and he should be making a better fight for his optional. He will have a mandatory next so that just stalls his career until late 2016 for a chance at a big fight.According to promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport, he had a very positive meeting with Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank, regarding a fall unification between IBF champion Kell Brook (34-0, 25KOs) and WBO champion Timothy Bradley (32-1-1, 12KOs).
Hearn is looking to stage the fight in late October in Brook's hometown of Sheffield. He is also going to continue discussions with the promoters of the current frontrunner Diego Chaves, and there will also be talks regarding Ruslan Provdonikov.
Bradley, who went to a draw with Chaves last December, came back earlier this year to capture the vacant WBO title with a decision win over previously unbeaten Jessie Vargas. Bradley lost the WBO title last year to Manny Pacquiao, who then dropped the belt to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May. Mayweather was stripped of the belt for failing to pay the sanctioning fee among other reasons.
Brook has made two dominating defenses this year, with easy knockout wins over Frankie Gavin and mandatory challenger Jo Jo Dan.
Hearn told Sportsmail: "Kell wants to fight Bradley. I had a good meeting with Bob Arum. There are plenty of names available but we would like to fight Bradley. Of course we would like to fight Amir Khan, but outside of that fight, this is the best one for us. Style-wise it would be an absolute belter."
"I am still hopeful that fight fans will see Khan and Brook fight each other next year but for now, with Khan wanting to fight Manny Pacquiao, Bradley looks like it would be a top fight for Kell."

Kel Brook needs to be active , Khan is just hand picking fights now , so if Brook keeps beating big names the khan fight will have to happen.
