    Dude has been a pro since 2004 he is 30-0


    He still has never fought for a world title.

    Dude should have been fighting elite fighters.

    There is no excuse.

    what is holding back?

    His handlers realize he wouldn't beat any of the beltholders in the 2 weight classes he campaigns around.

    Yup I think Hearn knows Brook needs to be managed very carefully. Alexander was a good fight which he had a decent chance of winning a belt in a 12 round decision so they took it.

    ducking opponents is his game... he ducked Alexander and Bradley..

    he has stamina issues and is untested obv.

    he will be exposed soon

    Usual bull**** being spoken, watch the interviews with Hearn or just shut the **** up. Alexander canceled the fight through injury the first time round. Hearn said the money they got offered for the Bradley fight was a joke. Boxing is a business.

    Brook has issues with training and commitment. If he had Froch's work ethic and drive he'd be miles ahead of where is is now. May have had a couple of losses but big deal. 0's mean nothing unless you have a decent résumé.

    Waste of talent Brook is so far

    He has talent but seems to lack the commitment needed.

    I think all of the top fighters at 147-154 would beat him.

    i think the time is now for Brook. he can't let it pass him by again. i know the injuries weren't his fault, these things happen but, he has to focus and make a push for a title. he's definitely one of the best in the division so fights shouldn't be hard to make.

    the next 12 months will let us know just how much he'll be a part of the top 147 lbs pile.

    oh, and stay the hell away from running machines.

    Most of them would, anyway.

    There's just nothing special about this kid. Nothing, in other words, that makes one conclude he'll be anything other than a "B" fighter when he hangs 'em up.
