he was definitely a better fighter than josh clottey. clottey didn't have offense like that. i just don't think he had clottey's chin
i agree that brook was never great or going to be great, but he was definitely a solid fighter in terms of his talents, skills, and also his willingness to take on challenges. he was a top fighter, a divisional elite, whatever you want to call it. top 25 pound for pound is pretty damn solid, and he was probably that
i'd call brook "very good." clottey was just "good."
spence has limitations and i expect them to catch up to him eventually, but he's strong, has a great chin, and he'll make up for it. he wasn't eating a ton of clean punches in spite of the fact that he was coming forward and throwing bombs. when he did eat big shots he took them, got his composure, and fought back. he has a style and an offense that's going to make him a handful while he's young and has the legs. i'm very excited about his career.
the eventual fight is spence and crawford. i think it can be built into a ppv. the problem will be promotion and networks.
He's basically the British Joshua Clottey. I.e. a solid B/B+ fighter but he was never 'special' .
I don't have a problem with how you judge brook. It rings hollow because when bigdramacuck and others were calling brook a top tier ww you never questioned them or offered any rebuttal. Silence =agreement .
I understand why you are doing this now. How about next time you post it prior to the beating.
I was joking man, I had no real opinion on who would win.
I never rated Brook.
Oh now you were joking? If Brook had won I GUARANTEE you would have been ripping me to shreds for backing the hype job Spence.
Yes yes say Spence is a hype job and that he will get his ass whooped by Brook then after Spence wins discredit his victory by saying Brook wasn't that good to begin with. You literally have no shame
