I'd expect a competitive fight.
I used to think Brook had potential but over the years I've grown to think I might have been overstating it. I never thought he had "great" potential but I thought he had good potential. Not so sure now.
Hard to gauge IMO because he's competition is not very high and he's had a few shakey moments against not so stellar opposition.
I still think he's decent though.
I'd love to see this fight with Porter.

I don't think that's really an accurate statement.

Tough fight to call. Porter is more proven since the Alexander win, but I'm not sold yet. Brook has all the tools to be a World-class fighter IF his head is in the right place, which I seriously question. It shouldn't have taken this long to get to this level and it shouldn't have been possible for him to come into the first Jones fight in such bad shape. I'm reaching a bit, but I have a feeling that Brook has mental problems, in terms of dedication and confidence. I hope I'm wrong, or I hope Brook has got past the problems, but I need to see him beat a World-level opponent before I'll believe that.
If I had to put my life on it, I'd back Porter at the moment, but Brook has the skill-set, athleticism, speed and power to trouble anyone - I just need more evidence he knows how to apply his gifts against a World-level fighter before I can back him.

Yes i think porter beats brook,,,, Porter just out-hustles guys and i think he would do the same vs brook.. It would be closer than the alexander fight, but in the end i think porter takes it

Good speed and decent power. He's well rounded and versatile.

Jones had about a round or two in which he looked alright. Brook hurt him in almost every round as far as I remember it, and though he took a breather for a few, looked the dominant fighter through the fight.
