Just how good is Kell Brook?

Brook wouldn't see the final bell but glass chinned Austin Trout did. OK then.

If you mean, Brook wouldn't see the final bell because he'd already be doing his victory lap, then you might be onto something. I can pretty much guarentee you WOULDN'T rate so highly Charlo if he fought Brook. In fact, from the bits of I've seen of J-Rock, I doubt you'll be rating him that highly in 10 days

 

brook is very good, but banging away at GGG wasnt a good idea, in his natural weight class, those shots down most fighters. he can beat pacman.

 

Brook is one of the best 147lbers on the planet and he is big, strong and powerful at the weight.

Spence is mostly hype atm, but I personally feel he is the best fighter in the division. If Kell beats him he is the man IMO @ 147.

Nobody wants Spence because they know he's the truth.

154 is a different ball game altogether because most of 147s top talent actually comes from lower weight divisions and grew in to the division. 154 is full of giants in comparison and Brook would be a weak small guy, he would have to use skill and not brawn to beat them and I don't think he has it (atleast I don't think he is that much more skilled than them that the size won't matter, we have weight divisions for a reason)

 

About the same level as Keith Thurman. I don't think it's a given that he's going to hold up physically against the top guys at 154

 

Pacquiao is still on top of his game, although it isn't as staggering as it was years ago. And you should look more into Williams, that guy has real talent

 

#1 WW in the world. A fighter the rest of the division top guns avoid.

 

I'll watch Williams next week against Charlo.

Think Brook is just two big for Pacquiao, plus Brook is even better and fighting southpaws than orthodox. Something like 70% of the trainer they do in that gym is based around fighting southpaws

 

Brook ain't beating pacquiao

 

Agree. I think Brook beats today's Pacquiao. Great timing, good jab, very good shot selection. I think his all wrong for Pacman

 

Reckon you said that about Marquez before he put Pacquiao's lights out.

 

That's an interesting statement. In what way is Brooks style totally wrong for Lara?

 

I respect Brook's skill .

Excellent chin.

Massive heart.

He needs to move up to 154 ASAP.

 

Brook is more adept at fighting southpaws than orthodox, uses his jab better than Lara, among the best at judging the distance in the sport and creates good angles , cuts the ring off well, so Lara's style where he tries to get in and then well out of range would see him getting tagged more often than he tags Brook.

Basically Lara wouldn't be able to make Brook miss enough, and wouldn't be aggressive enough.
