    If you look at Bradley's opponents they've all been 140ers or below - except for Chaves. He should have gotten the nod against Chaves, but he still didn't look good.

    Fighting Brook would not be one but two weight classes above his normal fights, as Brook is really closer to being a 154 lber as opposed to a 147 lber. Bradley literally has nothing in his arsenal to keep Brook at bay. He's neither as strong or as heavy handed as Porter and Brook is a better boxer than Bradley too. As in, way better.

    Bradley would walk into Brook's 1-2 all night long and probably get beaten up. He's neither better than Brook on the outside or the inside.

    Needless to say I pick Brook in a relatively easy fight where he smacks Bradley all over the ring and probably stops him in the later rounds. Bradley is faster than Brook for sure - but that's really the only thing he has. Ring IQ, power, strength, size, skills - all in Brook's favour.

    Easy fight to pick.

      Under normal circumstances Bradley, but at this point its literally a mismatch, as Bradley has wear and tear and taken bombs from Pac, Provodnikov and JMM for years now. Brook never fights anyone and is fresh like Floyd was after his layoffs and fighting once every 12 to 18 months. Having only fought Porter and fighting Mexican roadsweepers ever since then.

      Like khan said he has wear and tear and wants brooks head to be snapped back a few times before taking on Brook.
      Im saying this tongue in cheek of course, with a little grain of truth.

        It's a good fight. Competitive. I'd pick Brook to win though, he's too big IMO.

        Bradley is starting to look like his technique unravels as the fight goes on, and that would allow Brooks crisper boxing to take over.
        Bradley's all heart though, so he keeps it competitive.

          Bradley is not "clever" or "crafty". Clever fighters don't almost get KOed in the last round repeatedly.

            I'm surprised by the poll results, if this was 2012/2013 I could understand. A fresher Bradley may have been able to dog Brook who struggled to fight 12 hard rounds and less proven but now Bradley is damaged goods while Brook is a prime world class fighter.

            Bradley's face always swells up these days, don't see him being able to to outbox Brook so he will eat a lot of jabs and rights on the way in.

                  If Bradley can compete with Manny Pacquiao, he would at least give Kell Brook a good fight. I think people are crazy to say Brook beats him up easily.

                    He won something like 5 or 6 of 24 rounds with Manny. I mean..

                    The reason why I pick Brook is because styles makes fights. Brook is way bigger and stronger than anyone bradley has been in the ring with.

                    For what its worth I also think Brook would smash up Pacquiao at this stage.
