    Canelo, Saunders, Jacobs, Eubanks, Andrade, Lara would I pick them to beat him no, but they have a shot and it is a closer fight and he's getting on age. Brook no chance.

    Yes. He ducked an unproven welterweight for the most feared fighter in boxing 2 divisions up and the moon is made of cheese.

    The point is he's clearly outgrown WW and there's big fights at LMW for him.

    Yes he could have fought Spence last time out but instead he fought Golovkin. If that is to be labelled a duck it would be the stupidest duck in boxing history.

    Firstly Brook fought his last mandatory number 1 contender in March this year against Bizier so it's not like he had any mandatory due any time soon.

    Also Spence IS NOT THE MANDATORY. Yes he's currently the topped ranked contender but he is not ranked number 1 like Bizier was or Dan Ion were. They were both ranked number 1 when they fought Brook unlike Spence who is ranked 2.

    So we have a fighter who is not the mandatory and a champion who doesn't have to fight his mandatory for 6 months or so and your first reaction is he's ducking. What a load of bull, if Spence did become number 1 or the IBF mandated a fight you have no idea how Brook would of reacted. You've just chosen to see a situation how you want to see it when the facts do not back up your opinion.

    I could do what you do and say why hasn't Spence's team paid the inevitable bribe to get the IBF number 1 spot? Is he ducking Brook? Of course that's ridiculous, not based on actual reality or facts. But it's easy to twist things to suit an opinion.

    This.

    Anyone who thinks it wasn't a great fight really is missing the point.

    GGG could of fought a 160lbs fighter on Saturday and the fight wouldn't of been as good as GGG V Brook was.

    Spence beat bundu to become mandatory go check it out. Second of all as soon as Spence was on the ready they started to talk up a 154 with smith after they had been fighting mandatory after mandatory. Do I think Brook is scared of Spenxe course not, do I think he's uncomfortable with the risk for the money he would get? Hell yeah.

    Are you telling me If GGG fought the Saunders, Eubanks or Jacobs, the fight wouldn't have been as good? That's complete nonsense.

    Happy about a mismatch, I'm assuming you was also happy with Canelo-Khan instead of Brook-Khan or Canelo-GGG :risas3:

    He's the real deal at WW maybe Jr MW that remains to be seen all those guys I said are too big for him at MW. I'm not falling for this narrative he was winning on the cards, he had great moments where he would fight well off his jab, I wonder how many of you would be singing his praises if Golovkin finished in the first round.

    He proved A LOT in his fight with GGG. It's safe to say he'd be a force at 154 just the same.

    Saunders? Nope. No way as exciting.

    Eubank? Possibly but that was the original plan and Eubank Jnr didn't sign. Blame him for getting that fight.

    Jacobs? Again I'm not convinced you would get the same exchanges we saw between GGG and Brook.

    Plus Jacobs is next so what's there to moan about?

    I beg to differ I think Andrade and Lara beat him comfortably. I would pick Canelo, Jermall Charlo, Soro and J-rock over him. I would make Brook favourite over Smith, Jermell and Cotto at this point. So he's gunna be no.7 going into there but I fully accept he couldnbe wrong and beat some of the other guys coz he's a sound boxer.

    Doesn't matter what skills Brook had coz GGG was gunna walk straight through, maybe not as excited but more competitive. Don't see the Jacobs fight happening because if it goes purse bids does GGG fight on PBC, gunna be the Stevenson Kovalev situation allover again
