    Don't agree.

    That's two world class fighters going at it, not mismatches like Lockett/Pavlik and Jennings/Cotto. Brook was more than competitive before the injury.

    Ali v Richard Dunn and, arguably, both Ali v Bugner fights. Joe always likely to go the distance but don't think anybody thought he could possibly win.

    Clarke v Vargas, without a doubt. Howard had 71 fights after, and won one. He should never have been allowed anywhere near a world title fight.

    I have to admit I thought he'd do a lot better than he did. Then after the fight I realised I must of been daft

    I personally didn't give brook a chance before the fight. He lost but did do better than I thought he would.
