Are you surprised Brook is ducking Thurman?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I'm 8 years old, because I want the champ to fight worthy opponents, and saying what most fans know in their heart to be the correct way of going about as the champ. You know it too, but it's your fellow countrymen, and obviously you have to play defense attorney.

Good, that fight would be good.

You have to distinguish between what YOU want and what is actually realistic.

[CatchAndShoot]

Lets say your argument is valid. Wouldn't brook have to wait until Thurman wins his Oct. 18th fight before the fight could be made? Thurman wouldn't get it with a loss, right?

So is he really ducking, or is he waiting to see if Thurman wins?

You see, you'd have a point, if his promoter didn't rattle off no namers, and tomato cans. My point is, as a champ, there shouldn't be any "show case" fights at that point.

And I let Danny slide with Herrera (I knew how good of a boxer he was, but he was a backfire on Danny's part), because c'mon. The man went through a gauntlet of tough opposition. Brook, not so much.

[CatchAndShoot]

As hardcore fans, we'd all like to see Brook-Thurman right now over Brook-Rios or Guerrero. Of course we would.

Thank you for admitting what I've been saying all along.

Don't tease us hardcore fans by bringing up Thurman during a post fight interview, then rattle off tomato cans as your potential next opponents.

Brandon Rios, Robert Guerrero, Andre Berto and Josesito Lopez are tomato cans? They're not the top top welterweights but they're not bums.

But you were ok with a shot Malignaggi who has zero power?

[gmc_rfc_06]

Malignaggi at least has a name and skills.

The names I was hearing were tomato can level, and nothing but "let me look good for my people" level fighters.

Paulie was done, and never a real welter. It would be like Brook fighting Judah next.

Hearn has said he would like to make a fight with Rios, Berto or Guerrero next...all name fighters and solid fights. Much better than Paulie.

You're a moron for being "teased". Mentioning Thurman doesn't mean he has to fight him next.

It's not realistically viable.

That didn't take long.

Place needs to change it's name to "Nonstop Trolling".

I didn't know he brought up The Ghost. OK, my fault.

But let's be real, he's not fighting the Ghost.

It actually is. They both fight under Showtime, and fans would love that fight. Brook has a big fan base.

Brook doesn't fight under anyone. That's irrelevant though. The money is not there to make that fight.
