Rhodes is 32 years old, 33 in a months time. Has a loss to Lockett as well as 2 TKO losses against crap opposition. His best win is Moore, who isn't really above European/domestic level. Rhodes has tried to get to the top before and failed, what makes you think he can go far enough?
Where as Brook is an up and coming fighter who is showing a lot of potential. He's got a big test against Jennings in a week, but if he makes it past Jennings then he can certainly do better than what Rhodes has done. He's 10 years younger than Rhodes.
I'm not sure on Brook's' amateur pedigree, but I'm sure it's better than Rhodes'.
You look familiar...
Men are measured by their achievements. Rhodes has achieved more than Brook to date, who still hasn't fought a name yet.
I wouldn't say they are **** but can't see us having many world champions within next few years. our best hopes are Brook, Haye, Rhodes, Froch and Khan to keep and bring titles back to the UK.

Brook - Still naive, leaves his chin in the air and gets caught too many times. Good counter puncher but still nowhere near completed.
Haye - Questionable chin and stamina. Relies on his power and does not have the ability to outbox.
Rhodes - Too old, too ****.
Froch - Has no defense whatsoever, his punch resistance is noticeably declining. He'll be finished before the tournament is over.
Khan - Great speed and stamina. Has no chin whatsoever, as soon as someone who has decent power tags him - he'll go down.

Agree with that on the most part does look bleak when you put it all like that. Come 7th November we will have a new HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
