I will take the puncher, since the supposedly well rounded boxer has no defense.

Brook is being severely underrated here.

Yes he gassed against Jones and shipped some punishment, but if he's to be believed and has now addressed this issue he'll win a world title at the very least. He's a talented boy.

It's hard to seriously downgrade a prospect based on one bad performance. However, since Jones is a recent performance, and the best test on his resume, it is even harder to overlook it.

Thurman is on a better roll right now. It is natural to pick him.

I wouldn't really label Brook a prospect, though.

This might be a good fight to determine which prospect is better sorta reminds me of the Cotto-Quintana matchup
