    Yeah, I rate Brook very highly. I wouldn't be surprised to see him reach the very top.

    I want to see him fight 5/6 times in 2009.

    I'd like to see him win the lonsdale belt by beating someone like Tony Doherty, then let's see him in there with someone like Alfonso Gomez or Jose Luis Castillo.

    I think fight JLC is good because Brook has not gone 12 rounds before, and it'll be a fight that is very winnable, but that he would learn from because it's against a veteran.

      Seconded. And Cleverly.

      Brook's the one prospect that excites me.

        I'm a buzzing as you are about brook! but appleby is a very good fighter. Throws a lot of classy punches from different angles and looks to have a good chin, i'm quite optimistic about appleby.

            yeah it's all about how active he is.

            He must be a little bit of a twat outside the ring to be fair, though he comes across very well in interviews imo.

              I bet this ghanian isn't ferocious puncher who is facing Ricky Burns!

                How come? Does Burns have a dodgy chin?

                  That fight happened earlier.

                  SPOILER...





































                  Burns won TKO 7 so he can't be as good as his record suggests.

                    nah he's never been stopped they said, but I remember a guy who had a similar KO record who fought Dean Francis recently and it was like they picked him off they streets. lol

                    He didn't look bad in that first though.

                      I reckon a fight with Daniele Petrucci(European champion) would be the fight that makes the most sense at the minute. Failing that, Craig Watson wouldn't be a bad choice either.
