      What he meant to say was that he struggles against black fighters when they are naturally 30-40 pounds bigger and a decade younger in their primes.

        No chance Marquez comes over. Drug testing will be far more stringent in the UK.

          Marquez will take a bad beating in this fight, its going to be hard too watch.

            Fan of both fighters, Marquez more so but I don't see how he wins. Brook is bigger, taller, younger and punches hard. Only positive I see for Marquez is that Brook has slower feet/movement than Bradley.

              I've got Brook having a fairly easy time dismantling Marquez. Possibly dropping Marquez when he catches him attacking. Stylistically it looks like a pretty bad match up for Marquez.

              Brook will keep Marquez at the end of his punches all night, Marquez has to make his opponent play offense, at this age I don't think he has the speed at this weight to deter Brook while coming forward.

              Brook isn't a dummy and he showed he has the patience and calm mind to pull out a victory against this old Marquez.

                Said it before but if Brook can't get Khan then this is the fight to make.

                I think Brook takes it.

                  Sounds good to me, 2015 is already looking better than 2014. Make it happen Hearn and TR or Beltran or who ever Promotes him.
