Well I voted Kell Brook so I agree too. Still think Tyson is the better prospect. They MUST know he has a good chin otherwise wouldn't put him in with someone with a decent K.O %. Brook, he sometimes looks straight up when pulling away, might have a good chin, but moving his head like that against a puncher is a no-no. He could find his career derailed with just that silly mistake. He ain't no Naz. But it sounds like I'm putting him down. I already think he's got Bertos number, HE'S the prospect the Americans are making Berto out to be.
****, apparently I voted James Degale?!?!?! And explained my reasons for doing, must not have seen Brook there?!?! Anyways, Brook is so much more advanced, he's had nearly 20-fights lready hasn't he? Degale, Gavin et al are barebone rookies in the pro game. Out of THEM I'd say Degale. But in terms of young prospects oin the cusp of Worldclass, I'd say Brook.
I like how Kell Brook's career is being managed as well. Making small but significant steps, building blocks, he has good people around him.
No doubt. If Berto was beating the likes of Collazo and Forbes on route to a World title shot, I would be very impressed. But the fact he's being marketed as a 'Champion' makes me resent the kid. I know it's not really is fault, but he's believing the hype and wants to fight Cotto. It's a bad choice, he will be splattered. Brook on the other hand, is content to fight the best of the domestic fighters and European level. He has seen what happens when, like Khan, you try to push Frank Warren. I don't nessecarily agree with the way Warren brings up prospects, but for some it is the right way to go about it. With Brook, his style and the fact he looks very skinny for a WW, it'll do him good to fit into the division nicely, get a chance to try out a lot of different opponents before he moves up. For Berto, he has a much steeper learning curve. When he falls it may be impossible to come back from e.g Jeff Lacy.
that was a little random, but hey, thats what you get if your out of partisan jokes about norfolk or it could just be your mental incapacity showing through ps my dog has more witt than you, and he doesnt make jokes YAWN MORON
I wouldn't worry about it, Gavin, Jeffries, DeGale, Saunders & Sutherland are recently olympians, Kell Brook is relatively unknown apart from UK fans, he's the British Welterweight Champion, Jamie Cox is unknown to really all but the most hard-core UK fans like the guys in the Brit forum, again he's a welterweight who looks like a very good prospect.
