    What fighter can you remember that's had the easiest route to a world title?

    Imo Gavin Rees became Was lww champion without boxing anyone with a pulse.

    Quigg and Thurman were gifted a title, easier than having to have fought to win it

    to be fair his win over Murat wasn't too shabby and it isn't his fault Braehmer jacked it.

    One semi decent win over Murat is a pretty **** build up. At least Brook eventually fought Porter.

    You're right about Braehmer bottling it. It wasn't his fault. The Murat win was a reasonable win. Still a pretty easy route to a title imo.

    Brooks lead up to a world title makes Clev look like a throwback fighter mate

    Not saying Clev is great and prob wont win a world title, but lets not kid ourselves Brook has any intention of ''kicking on'' Jo Jo Dan and Gavin and now looking to box Rios.

    Don't think Rios is an horrendous fight to be honest.
    Dan was fine after the leg injury. Gavin was a bit of a pointless fight.
    I hope he's in some big fights soon.
