    People are giving slack to Thurman for fighting Collazo, but Thurman is coming off fighting a top 10 opponent in Guerrero. People give slack to GGG for fighting so called "bums", but all of those guys besides Monroe are ranked in the top 10. Now Brook is fighting back to back guys who aren't even close to being a top 10 caliber guy in Gavin and Dan, why aren't more people criticizing him?

    Didn't Khan pubically ***** his way out of fighting Brook this summer to concentrate on the highly regarded Algieri?

    Khan isn't rated #1, and yes he deserves slack for ducking Brook, but just because one guy ducks you doesn't give you an excuse to fight 2 guys out of the top 10 back to back.

    What, after being stabbed in the thigh?

    How many professional fights have you had?
    Brook got a legit injury to his thigh, still called Khan out for this summer and Khan declined.

    What where Brook's other options?
    Are you his manager?

    Damn the brit**** in you is screaming in anger. If his injury is so bad why is he caling out top guys like Khan/Marquez/Rios, yet when one of them(Rios) is available he fights Gavin instead. If you're coming off an injury and need tune-ups keep your mouth shut and stop calling top guys out if you're not willing to fight them.
    He could have fought Bradley before the Vargas fight was signed(which was extremely recently) as a Mando, Rios, Chaves.

    And no I'm not his manager, :rofl. But as a fan, I find it ridiculous how every other boxer gets crucified for fighting non-top 10 guys, but when the #1 ranked WW which is supposed to be the most stacked weight fights back 2 back guys who aren't ranked top 10 no one gets mad.

    "Slack"

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    When i say give slack, I mean not cutting any slack. Should have worded it better, do you agree with my post though? Is Brook the only one not fighting top 10 opposition, or are you an angry fan boy?

    Frankie Gavin is P4P caliber guy. Kell should be heralded as a hero for taking this fight. :nod

    brook gets a pass as he almost had his leg chopped off. 6 months from now he won't get that same leeway if he doesn't get in with the big names in the division.
