    Bradley's another impressive looking fighter that lacks power. He's similar to Porter but with slightly slicker skills. I see Brook winning that, and against an ageing JMM. Maidana would be more interesting. I'd like to see Bradley & Porter fight.
    I strongly disagree on the comparison between Bradley and porter. he is significantly better than him. Porter's skills are lacking IMO.

    But yeah, I liked what I saw in Brook. Look forward to his next fight.

      It looked like he had the potential to be good before, but he had never really proven it.

      Brook earned respect with that win.

        Maybe I wasn't clear. The comparison I was making is: stocky, muscular, quick fighters who look very impressive but fail to convert their mass to tangible power. Bradley's more skilled, but not amazingly so. He came unstuck against a far less skilled Provodnikov, and looked terrible against Pac last time around. Bradley's faster and more accurate than Porter but don't confuse speed with skill. Bradley's a step up, nothing more.

            Bradley is on another level to porter for sure.

              Kell Brook, please...

              Kell has not fought or defeated any elite fighters. Porter who? Fight Keith "One Time" Thurman. Then maybe.

                What makes Thurman an 'elite' fighter.

                Brook's win over Porter is 10x better than any of Thurman's wins so if he hasn't beat anyone elite, what has Thurman done to be considered elite?

                  So much on another level that he passed on a title fight with Bradley to fight an eliminator, SMDH

                    He's got a lot of potential but Thurman's untested. He's certainly not elite. You're just buying into the same myth that surrounded Porter until last weekend.

                      Jesus Chavez vs Thurman was exciting, Porter vs Brooks was boring,
                      and no, Thurman isn't elite yet, on his way, as for Brooks I'm keeping an eye also, we'll see, so far pretty good,
