    It's not debatable, Brook won.

    The only reason it was so close was his lack of stamina. I don't deny Jones is a hard-working fighter who gave Brook a good fight, I just feel that without said stamina issues - the fight would've played out differently.

      But the fact of the matter is he didn't. Jones didn't do much the first half, if he had better stamina he could have pushed the action all 12 rounds and won.

        I'm sure it was in Jones' gameplan to allow Brook to win the opening rounds then pressure him late on. But he wouldn't have ever come on so strong if Brook's stamina was good.

            I'm not if'ing and but'ing, what happened in the Jones fight was great and should've happened earlier. Hearn was absolutely furious after the fight and looked sure to rectify Brook's stamina problems.

            All I'm saying is that when I watched that fight and knowing what I know now, I see the potential for a big change. Much like Khan with his non-existent defence, it can only get better.

            If Brook had come through that fight, looking like such with a strength & conditioning coach and everything right - I'd be worried.

                In other words, I got no heart and balls and only want a chance at a second rate "title" instead of a true world championship, and i don't want to fight the best.

                  And your evidence for this statement is what exactly??
                  Bradley's fights don't do big numbers anyway (a reported 850,000 buys against CashCow Pacquiao) so what makes you think they would offer Brook a lot of money when he brings no title and isn't known in America at all????
                  It was a business decision plain and simple. If Arum could screw Pacquiao out of the clearest decision win I've ever seen what do you think they would do to Brook? Absolute idiots on here talking about ducking and being scared.
                  He will fight Bradley when he is ready and on terms that are good for him financially.

                    Who the hell is Brook to talk about who he'll fight & when? Answer that one. And why not fight Bradley in the UK for the belt? I'm pretty sure Bradley would have no problem going across the pond, for he can't get a fight anyway. You have 2 undefeated fighters fighting, with one that would be the hometown favorite. You're saying that there's no $$ there? The venue wouldn't be sold out? GTFOH. So you're saying that the correct business decision is to scrap a title fight for a title eliminator to fight for the title, right? Even if he wins, as history has shown doesn't mean that he'll get that shot. So, that's real ******. Hope Saldivia beats the brakes off of Brook. GTFOH with that "idiotic" ***** you're talking....

                      how is it not debatable? lots of people had jones winning or a draw.wasn't a robbery but it was super close and jones certainly looked better and exposed brook's lack of inside fighting.
