Would Kell Brook be a Good Tune-Up At 147 for Garcia?

Brook is a solid fighter. Natural to 147. Has very good handspeed and throws short compact punches. He can fire inside of Garcia's shots. I'm not saying Brook (will) Win, but he is no slouch or no tune-up to any division newcomer.What has Brook shown to make you think he would give Danny significant issues. I don't think he's a slouch, but I haven't seen anything that makes me think he is on the same level as Garcia. At least not yet.
I don't know if Garcia would destroy Brook, but I would expect him to get a clear win. TBH, I haven't seen Brook fight much, but from what I've seen he doesn't seem to be "special".
I'm open to hearing other out though.
Lets go find dis guy that told you Brook will outclass Garcia. We'll go set him straight.Comment

I think if you have a realistic shot at Mayweather in May then Kell Brook is something of a tune-up unless he proves himself against top competition. As I said, I don't think Brook is a slouch, but I think Danny could effectively counter him and potentially even hurt him badly.Brook is a solid fighter. Natural to 147.

I also think that the expectations of a division kingpin should be high when they move up.Comment

That's like saying who had Mickey Garcia beaten to show he can hang with Orlando Salido.....and we know how that turned out. Same thing when Mosley fought Oscar coming up from Lightweight and many other examples. Resumes don't fight resumes, fighters fight. Brook is a natural 147, a concise, powerful fighter and I see this as a 50/50 fight based on styles. The type of fight that headlines a Showtime/HBO card.Last edited by richardt; 09-15-2013, 10:04 PM.Comment
