    I don't agree with that and I don't intend to engage you on the reasons why. Whatever you think about Brant is your business and don't concern me.

    No doubt. Brook is the one with the different levels to go to. Rewatching the GGG fight if you watch from the moment Brook gets hurt in the first round to around 3/4 of the way through the 3rd when it's obvious the eye is really bothering him, Brook fights with real vigor and intensity, landing some absolute peaches, and against a mere mortal he would've either stopped them or completely took over the fight (and maybe had the eye not gone GGG wouldve been in for a torrid night)

    Bare in mind this will be in Brooks hometown in front of 30,000...And people think Spence wins easily.... LOL.

    I'll say this right now. If Spence can beat Brook easily at Bramell Lane, then he's the best fighter in the world already. Better than Gonzalez, better than Ward, better than Kovalev, better than Golovkin, better than Crawford, better than Pacquiao.... Safe bet is, he's not.

    Sure, but he hasn't fought any southpaws as good as Spence.

    Spence hasn't fought any orthodox as good as Brook. Point being is that Brook is used to Spence's style and will deal with him

    Coming off a stoppage loss and dropping back down in weight are bad omens for fighters by themselves let alone dealing with both at the same time/fight.

    That last part is very telling. I've not heard of Brant either. I don't think it's necessarily a good thing
    to fight a bigger guy, because they're not gonna have the hand or foot speed of Kell. Kell's big but
    he's also a fairly quick guy with a variety punches. Spence isn't ready.
