    That's why I said "at best Brook goes on to become a great fighter" right now he evidently is not a great fighter. But if he goes on to be one the victory will clearly improve legacy wise.

    According to TBRB he's number 1 WW.

    Well the fight is real, it just doesn't mean anything right now.

    You're speaking in terms of "what if". I'm speaking in terms of "what is". And right now the reality IS that Brook isn't a great fighter. This fight IS meaningless.


    Pacquiao and Thurman both have better resumes @ 147.


    You're half right. :yep

    I know I am and I know you are. I'm not disagreeing with you.

    Pac would be my choice had he not retired. I trust their rankings anyways.

    :good

    Pacquiao just fought in April and is fighting in November. IOW, he's not retired. Brook is, at best, the #3 WW in the world...

    As I said, whilst I disagree with TBRB from time to time I bow to them as those with greater knowledge than I.
