Brook easily beat senchko and Porter, both were better than any of Thurman's opponents...

What makes you think Thurman can deal wi brooks jab and skill?


It's pretty clear to me that thurman is a good fighter but he is versatile and limited at the same time..

He can box or ****, but he isn't excellent at either,,, thurman would eats brooks jab all day long and lose a decision

Brook has faced better competition....

I know thurman is the flavor of the month on NSb, but in reality he is a good versatile, but limited fighter...

Thurman will have no answer for brooks jab, and that will be the difference

Name a world caliber technical boxer that has beaten Thurman?

And name a world caliber boxer-puncher that Brook has faced and beaten?

Name a world class boxer that 114 out of 114 boxing experts picked to beat Brook (most by KO) and who almost killed Paulie Malignaggi.

Here's a hint: It's Shawn Porter.

It would be higher rated on the American circuits. Here is a good example Geale has a major following overseas, Geale fights GGG and they get low numbers for a GGG fight at 758k at its highest peak. GGG fights Rubio who doesnt have as big a following as Geale yet GGG vs Rubio does the second best rating of 2014 (so far) with a 33% rise in viewer ship compared to the Geale fight. No doubt Khan vs Brook is major over seas but the hype would not reach these shores. I would watch either fight to be honest any match of the three should be a good fight.

Well that's all that really matters. Thurman is not major anywhere. Whether it's in the UK or the US. He has no belt and no real fanbase. There's no real reason to fight the guy.

Dude, you just said Thurman beat the no 3 WBC contender, and now Kell Brook's win over no 1 IBF contender doesn't mean anything?

You can't have it both ways. Fact is, both wins didn't mean anything at all. And yes, Brook does have Porter. Who does Thurman have?

No, Brook was mandatory. Do your research. They had to fight Brook or be stripped. A fight with Thurman was definitely on the horizon if Porter beat Brook.

lol what alphabet titles?

I'm beginning to realize you don't know anything about boxing at all.

The Lonsdale belt is worth 100 times what an international title is worth.

Your a fool bro. Read my post i clearly wrote that all those wins mean nothing except for Porter, and except for Porter the Resumes are alike. Brook was Alexanders Mandatory, Brook got injured , and after Alexander lost there is no indication that Brook was a forced Mandatory for Porter. A lot of times after a boxer wins a world title for the first time they have an option to defend that title in a voluntary defense before they fight their mandatory. Being that Porter turned down a fight with Thurman saying that he wasnt happy with the money offered for that fight and subsequently went on to fight his Mandatory would indicate that he may have had a voluntary defense option. From what i remember there was never an order from the IBF for Porter to defend against his Mandatory.

Brook didn't "easily" beat Porter. That was a close fight that Brook barely got the win.

It's pretty clear to me that thurman is a good fighter but he is versatile and limited at the same time..

Brook has never fought an opponent like Thurman before. You say Thurman is limited but how? Thurman has power in both hands, good boxing skills and can even switch between southpaw and orthodox.

Like I said, I don't see Brook handling Thurman's handspeed either.

Malignaggi was his voluntary defence and Brook was his mandatory. He had to fight Brook.
