    Which is why Brook's resume is poor compared to Thurman's. All Brook has worth mentioning on his resume is Porter. Thurman has Guerrero, Karass, Bundu and Chaves. Diaz is also worth mentioning considering he gave Khan hell.

    Only if people who fight on HBO and Showtime count as fighters to beat on a resume.

    Fun fact- Brook has beaten 3 ring rank contenders at the time he fought them (Jackiweiz, Senchenko, Porter). Thurman has beaten 1 (Guerrero).

    I find it hard to believe that old man Senchenko aka Paulie's victim was ranked, and if he was he clearly did not belong there. Fun fact, Thurman has fought far better competition, chaves, guerrero, bundu, karass, diaz, quintana, zaveck are far better than Porter, Jackiewiz, and the guy Broner's victim Paulie stopped.

    An entertaining one sided beat down. A better fight than Thurman - Collazo or Khan - Algeiri.

    Well Brook stays busy against an acceptable opponent, why not? Rios is a decent name to have on your resume. I love when fighters stay busy. Hopefully he'll fight again in December. War Brook!

    I don't care what network they were on or if he was fighting on undercards either. You can pay attention to that nonsense to look alive in a discussion you have no place in. Thurman clearly has a better resume and all it takes is a sober mind to easily see it.

    What a shock. To you Thurman's resume consists of fighters that have previously fought on HBO :lol::lol:

    You try to argue Brook's resume is garbage yet you bring up guys like shot to pieces Quintana & Shotto-Karrass :lol::lol::lol: Jo Jo Dan and Frankie Gavin absolutely butcher them guys, same with Thurman's next opponent.

    Well because you only watch on US TV like your alt ellebe, you don't know the level of competition Brook has fought. Hence if you did, you wouldn't have picked Porter to destroy him like you did

    I don't need a different TV in a different continent to watch and judge fights throughout the world. Ever heard of the internet?, do you know that you're using it right now?, idiot.

    Senchenko is a good fighter worth mentioning on Brook's resume and that's about it unless you're drunk enough to bring up Mathew Hatton. I'm thankfully sober and can judge coherently. Give it a try.

    Brook by shuttout. Rios is too slow, no defense, and doesnt have size advantage.

    What a joke Brook is mastering cherry pickings 101 from the great Jo Jo Dan to a guy who's never been a good welter ..Thanks Floyd for showing guys how to cherry pick !

    Naw, you still got Maidana,Khan, and don't forget Erroll Spence and Imir Imam, those youngsters are on their way up and the welter weight division will catch fire again.
