If this is true, then choosing Chaves is the epitome of high risk, low reward. Not to mention the fact the guy is hard as old boots. Big challenge. Even if he chose Provodnikov he would get more credibility among the general consensus but Ruslan has a higher reward. Id have clamored more a Timothy Bradley fight. Because... Well higher reward
I agree with Khan's lawyer here, Brook's power is very overrated. He doesn't have that "one time" power.
He will get the KO earlier than Thurman did, then a top 10 fighter in one of the most stacked divisions will be called a bum.
Brook wide UD with a higher chance of a stoppage than most probably think. Chaves is a better opponent than Rios or Brooks' last two defenses. But not exactly "high risk" as thread starter says.
I like this fight. Chaves is a tough guy, power, athletic. He'll give anyone a hard night. Clearly I wanna see how he compares to Thurman but also Bradley as well
