    Bradley will go down in history as the greater fighter no doubt but at that time especially at 147 I reckon that it would've been a close competitive fight.

    Tim's one of my all-time favorite fighters but his best weight was at 140 and he literally had no pop at 147. Brook, on the other, was hurting GGG in stretches with his power. Speed wise, I don't see that much difference. Maybe Tim was a tad better at just boxing and moving but he almost always had a tendency to forget to box and get dragged into a brawl (sans JMM). Plus, he tended to throw wide punches and wasn't quite tight with his D either.

    Probably Brook UD, possibly with a KD or two.

    On paper Bradley will but pound for pound, I'm not sold on the idea. Brook never got enough 'spotlight' fights. To an extent, he will be unfulfilled as a fighter.

    Tim Bradley never beat a legit 147 fighter so I don’t give him much of a chance to beat Kell Brook at 147.. They both have huge muscle mass only Kell is 3 to 4 inches taller..

    Bradley’s WW resume:
    Pac x 3: 2 Ls 1 dubious W
    Marquez: Not 147 fighter
    Jessie Vargas:career 140 fighter
    Brandon Rios:Career 135 & 140 fighter
    Diego Chavez: Draw
    Provodnikov: Career 140 fighter

    Because he was: 1. Unprofessional at times 2. Got stabbed as he entered his peak years 3. Was badly-managed in during big stretches of his career 4. Fought GGG and ultimately got his face smashed in by a middleweight, Brook has suffered a big dip in reputation and rating. As of now, although not quite 'cooked' he's in the oven and we're waiting for the 'ping'.

    But a in-shape, injury-free 2013/14 version of Brook would be way too strong and skilled for Bradley...

    H2H brook. Bradley the better resume.

    honestly kell brook might be in the top 20 champions who never fulfilled their true talent. The guy was truly special but GGG ruined him.

    Special K all day. Too big, too strong, too much Sheffield Slickness.

    I take brook the one before GGG, he be to accurate for Tim and hit him more cleaner. I see a close fight brook winning on points.
