    Things are really getting bad for the triple duck when even you're turning on him.

    It was a year ago, don't blame yourself. I don't think Tom would try to get this fight done. It would turn even the most devoted fans off the GGG brand.

    Although, there is a good chance the non-boxing fans would tune in and increase his viewership. Bradley is a fairly big name.

    So Brook is acceptable, but Bradley is not?

    Yes Brook is much bigger than Bradley. He's massive for a WW. The size difference won't be as big as people think. He's also unbeaten and in his prime.

    While Bradley is a 140 lb fighter that's shop worn. Fighting Bradley would be a discrace.

    And Eubank,Canelo,BJS and Jacobs all backed out against GGG so his options were limited. There is Lara but is that really a bigger fight than Brook? He's got 2 losses and isn't a huge name.Brook is undefeated and brings that UK fan base.Also probably the same size as Lara

    Not long ago Bradley was favourite to beat Brook.

    Hagler did it twice and fought a LW.His 3 best wins. Hopkins did it twice and it shot his career to new heights. They're both atg's and it worked for them. And GGG doesn't have many options when the other top 4 in his weight class won't fight him

    Bradley is way too small for GGG and is out of his prime. Brook isnt

    After I watched Tim try yo string sentences together post his Provodnikov bout I knew I never wanted to see him in with another heavy hitter. The thought of a man I have tremendous respect for ending up with brain damage and/or Parkinsons is excruciating.

    Brook on the other hand is fresh, he hasn't been in any wars and he shows all signs of a sensible man. I have a feeling that should be get hit with a clean shot early and feel it's damage, he deliberately won't get up. Both guys will get paid, Brook will go back to 147 with little or no damage sustained. Bradley would keep getting up until he dies.

    Oh, and Brook is much bigger than Bradley. He is built like a LMW, Bradley has the look of a man that would be able to comfortably make 140.

    What do you think would happen if Duran, Hearns or SRL fought Kell? Or Trinidad or DLH for that matter.

    These were proven elite level talents moving up to face a guy who walked around at his fighting weight. Kell Brook is at best unproven.

    If he doesn't fight someone difficult next. I'm no longer a fan. This Brook fight is an insult.

    They would all beat Brook. I was just making a point to Drenlou since he said GGG shouldn't fight any WW for any reason. He didn't have many other options since all the top mw's ducked him. And since Hearn already negotiated the fight for Eubank it was easy for him to just offer the same deal to brook

    I lost it somewhere between bum number 20 and bum number 30.

    It's a pitty, I remember when I thought that he could be great. But nah, he loves too much to smash tomato cans to be great.
