I think Brook is a bit hyped But he is no Paris... Needs to fight at world level first... Dunno why everyone was going crazy after he beat Hatton in a decision....
Since when has he been hyped, apart from by the haters? Everyone thought Sweet Pea would beat him he proved them wrong! when he fought Poland's national hero he proved them wrong!! He then faced the next Tito he proved them wrong!!! Even after beating Hatton the haters still talk ****.
Well... It's not because I like the guy particularly, but he looks like a huge talent. He's got the speed, athleticism and skills to give a lot of guys problems. I know that he didn't stop Hatton, but he could have if Hatton hadn't been in survival mode from the beginning. Hatton's defense is actually pretty solid and he's grown as a boxer in the last couple of years so there's now shame in a wide UD for Brook... Hatton is hard to look good against, but Brook was at least as "dominant" as Saul Alvarez in that fight. Besides that he stopped Rafael Jackiewicz. I know that he's not a big name, and he didn't have the speed to cope with Brook - for sure - but he's still very tough. I mean, he took Zaveck's power as well as Berto. It's still very hard to say how good Brook is because of the lack of big fights, but don't blame Brook... He's been calling out Amir Khan for a long time. I know that fight is not gonna happen any time soon. I'm not saying that Brook beats Khan, but Khan is not gonna take any risks by taking him on as long as he is a minor name. That says something about Brook's potential in his eyes as well, because Khan had no problem defending his title against Paul McCloskey which was a no-gainer in the eyes of the american fans. Let's respect the european fighters a little more and let's not be ignorant towards boxers... I will be following Brook for sure and I'll be excited when he meets a guy who can really test him. I don't think he's a new Mayweather or anything, but he's got the talent to hang with a lot of the best guys in the division in a couple of years. He would not have problems with a guy like Jesus Soto Karass, sp don't be surprised if he ends up fighting a Mike Jones or something - that's a winnable fight for him in my opinion...
i think iron chin is that same dude who a year or 2 was dissing john murray and joe ghallager for being racist towards khan i think taco bill was the name, all the time posting racially motivated **** against murray calling him a chav and him being jealous of khan purely on him being a successful british asian, Iron_chin=Khan nuthugger 2.0,
Brook is hyped but he is doing ok for this stage of his career so why not. I really doubt that if he was fighting Zab he was going to freeze after being hit hard for the first time
Brooks clearly a few levels above Paris and has fought far better opposition but he is overhyped and doubt he's the next thing at 147 or 154.
