    What evidence do you present, to back up that claim?

    would favour brook, fights unlikely to happen though, brook will keep safe waiting for khan.

    Brook takes this. Smarts and better technique.

    Thurman has expressed a willingness to fight Brook in the UK. Sadly, this does not fit in with Eddie Hearns conspicuous plans to match Brook with Khan. In an ideal world these two would clash later this year after Brook deals with Jo Jo Dan.

    Kell's precision or Keith's flash? Neither has faced anything like the other. Thurman would have to be careful about loading up in this one. Sharp counters would be at the ready. As things stand I'd give the edge to the Floridian. You don't find many boxers who can punch hard and skate around. It's the perfect combo to dictate. Provided Thurman straightened that right, tucked up when need be, he has the edge.

    'American'beating haha. Easy there mate, Brook hasn't recovered from the last 'American' beating he took from Porter.

    This is 50/50 for me. Both talented guys at the weight and a good clash of styles. Can actually see this one happening

    Thurman, and Thurman's resume is way better than Brook. I mean the only win Brook has is Porter ffs, why is he this overrated? Yeah he also stopped a guy Paulie did as well, and lost to Carson Jones in their first fight. Thurman is levels above.

    Brook.

    Smarter, more skilled, better chin, better timing, decent power.

    Thurman.

    I'm a Brit myself, but I'm still not sold on him as being top level. He's decent, but I draw the line there. Good win against Porter but I feel Porter threw that away as much as anything. Still, I think it's a good fight for both either way and hope it gets made

    The main variable in this match-up is Kell's Glass Nose. Will it hold up?
