I hear what your saying but who has brook beat that makes you feel that are so much better then pauile and Alexander?
Ridiculous question. One can judge a fighter on his style and merits without needing the 'confirmation' of seeing them take out half the top ten. This triangle theory nonsense is pointless. If Brook had beaten both Alexander and Paulie M in the same fashion his chances in this fight would still remain exactly the same....
Brook simply cannot pull out unless he has to have a limb amputated... Eddies as well as his own credibility is at stake here.
He's going to need to be. The last time I saw Brook and Jones in the same ring Brook was spanking him. Brook, is a much better, much stronger and much more accurate than Julio Diaz- a fighter I haven't seen Porter distance himself from by much in 2 fights.
Brook has pulled out of one fight injured due to a broken foot. What gets forgotten here is Alexander also pulled out injured with a "bicep injury" yet two days later Mayweather was tweeting about fighting Alexander. That sound like a legit injury to you? :think
The difference though is Alexander faked the injury to fight Mayweather whereas Brook faked the injury because he was scared.
All to best to Brook, I enjoy watching him fight but I think it's gonna be a hard one for him to win. Land some power early to make Porter respect him, keep the precision jab in his face all night and ride out the early storm that Porter always brings. Personally I think he could be steam rolled out in 5 or under, but if it gets past that, he's got a good shot.
