Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Thurman Will Travel To UK For Brook Shot

so hard to pick

I desperately want Thurman to be the real thing. Brook looked so classy in there though.

How about we put Danny Garcia against either first? I would hate Brook or Thurman losing this early in their potential star turn.

It's a good thing you aren't a manager, sounds like you would be all about protecting a fighter from real challenges and would have the audacity to not be ashamed of it.

Gotta favor the special one. The new champ won me serious e points. Been on the wagon for a while. #allofthelights. #m8ties

ODLH wants to be part of the mix, but with Eddie Hearn already talking to Arum about Froch/Chavez a Brook/Pacquiao fight might be more appealing than Thurman.

I'd like to see Brook/Thurman but how much money does it bring for such a risky fight? Khan's a much easier and more lucrative prospect for Brook.

It's not that simple.

I don't think Thurman can beat Brook. I'd be rather surprised if he did.

I think Thurman's style of having his hands down will be exploited by Brook via counterpunches.

It won't happen. If Al Haymon has his way it'll be Amir Khan vs. Robert Guerrero, Keith Thurman vs. Devon Alexander & Shawn Porter vs. Luis Collazo. Kell Brook is going to end up fight one of the Top Rank trio in Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez or Tim Bradley.

Brook seems very ordinary to me outside of his great timing.
Pacquiao/Mayweather would school him.
Bradley/Thurman would beat him easily as well.

WAR BROOK!!!!!!!!

Is Oscar throwing Khan under the Bus;
or does he want to save him from a Brook Beat down???

I actually kind of like those matchups. Man, Hearn is raking in the dough now!

I think Thurman is a free agent. He's not signed to Haymon, unlike Khan. Thurman was Schaefer's boy and has no choice but to work with DLH.
