Brook linked with 154 Horn fight

Waste of talent. Better than Naz they said. I give him credit for the Porter win and taking the GGG and Spence fights, no matter how badly it panned out. At the end of the day though the sum total of his career is one good win, two bad losses.

Brook was supposed to be some sort of wrecking machine at 154lbs but I think that was before Hurd, Munguia and the Charlo's came to prominence. Now, I don't think he wants anything to do with those bods and will finish his career with a whimper against the mangled mess Crawford leaves of Khan, or even worse Liam Smith.

Decent match-up. I got to back Horn at this stage.

I actually like Brook-Smith, i'm glad that will happen now, obviously the Matchroom/SKY hype merchants will make it something it's not but I like that matchup.

Brook might have beat all these current top 154-lbers, however, you can't have as many "joeys" as he does without accepting he's never really fancied the job and that's why he can't be out of training without getting fat, fucked and carved up.

I like Brook/ Smith also.

I think that's the problem I have with it, the fact that it appears to be a good fight and one I wouldn't be confident of predicting the winner, when I want to say Brook all day long. Decent yardstick I suppose. If he does get beat, might as well jack it in. If he wins and wins well, it might be the confidence boost he needs to mix with better company.
