    Munguia is solid and a Middleweight, but it took him 4 rounds to finish off a glass jawed Welterweight.

    It took Brook 2 rounds to ravage a full fledged legit Light Middleweight with a good chin in Rabchenko. Which is more impressive IMO.

    Brook's chin is solid as it could be, Munguia seemed a little rocked when Ali connected clean, and has very porous defense, this could be a very winnable fight for Kell, because I think Brook's power is far more significant at LMW than it was a WW, I doubt Hurd, Jermell or Lara could have done to Rabchenko what he did to him, hell Harrison who is very handed couldn't stop him that quickly.

    For the record, I'd have picked Brook to do the same to Ali at WW and definitely do it to him at LMW, in fact I called the Vargas KO win.

    Personally I would like to see Harrison vs Brook. Brook won't fight a tough contender until after Khan pay day.

    Harrison appears weak enough that Brook might just be tempted to fight him. Harrison is huge and it will be a much harder fight for Brook than many expect!!!!

    Yeah, because Brook likes to take on safe and soft opponents like Spence and Golovkin, you really are a reprehensible twat.

    GGG fight was a win/win, just like Khan vs Canelo

    Spence he was backed into a corner and he his only option was to pick Spence or vacate and look like a coward.

    Look at the rest of his career!

    You seriously think he won't fight another soft touch yet. Harrison isn't a soft touch by any means IMO but it could easily be perceived that way on paper.

    Harrison would be one of the best fighters in the world if they only fought 4 rounders

    Brook would fight anyone, that's pretty apparent, he fights who Hearn puts in front of him, and no I don't think his opposition is all that softer than a Spence, who aside from Brook, his opponent's have been featherfisted non threats.

    Harrison isn't a soft touch, but you implied he was, and think he's only a threat because of his size.

    Regardless most fighters would have still swerved Spence. He had an easy excuse for it - just move up to 154 lb straightaway.

    I don't know about most, but its all circumstantial really

    You could say most A side diva's would and I'd probably agree
    A B-side fighter would probably just fight who they have to fight.

    Also Brook took a hell of a beating from GGG yet when the cards were made public he was ahead at the time of the stoppage? He probably thought all he would have to do is make it to the end and he would get the win!!!

    Brook is a much better fighter than Ali, and could provide a true litmus test of Munguia's worth. But I suspect Mun would be too strong and heavy handed for Brook in the end.

    Munguia is good and he has a great trainer, but the guy should be fighting at his own weight.

    No I don't think Harrison is a soft touch, especially not for a short stumpy Brook.

    They match up well, and it would be an interesting fight basically a 50/50.

    I think many people probably do though. Harrison is very underrated, he just needs to put it all together in the ring he has the talent.

    Brook should have a stronger record then Spence (he clearly doesn't!!!) he is near retirement and Spence is just entering his prime!!! Different stages of their careers
