    Though Thurman still has some serious holes in his game and Brook is the more complete fighter, I think Thurman's offense is too strong for him. Kel's defense is good but he doesn't work off the back foot enough to win against Thurman. I just don't see how Brook scores enough points here without putting himself at great risk.

      They won“t fight soon. After Floyd and Manny retire, Brook and Thurman will try to take over the division in separate ways.

        I really do wonder who will be the man at WW when Floyd and Manny are gone. Hmmm


        Obviously Floyd is the man at WW now.

          People need to stop mentioning this fight. It's clear they not going to fight any time soon. They'll avoid each other. It's obvious.

              Lets break it down

              Strength - Brook, strongest 147 lber in the world
              Power - Thurman, great puncher.. but Brook is also very heavy handed
              Speed - Thurman .. again just about. Brook has quickness.
              Defence - Brook, Thurman gets too wild in there and leaves himself wide open
              Skills - Brook. He's the much better technical fighter by far with a much better jab.

              How does it go? I see Brook being in control for the majority of the fight, style wise it could be similar to a mini Kitschko - Haye (only with obvious more drama), with Thurman trying to leap in and do damage and then circle the ring. I see Brook winning this one guys. He's just the better boxer and has more intangibles. I honestly think Brook is better inside and at mid range, Thurman may only have an advantage way on the outside.

                I'm going with my boy Kell, but I think it's pickem fight, and I'd be happy with whoever wins.

                  All Thurman has to do is land "one time", if Senchenko's right hand was strong enough to make Brook do a little dance, there's no doubt in my mind that Thurman is capable of doing the same; and then some.

                    Brook looks great but the criticism of his resume is fair.

                    Brandon Rios would still be one of the best fighters he has faced and people see that is a mismatch.

                      why couldn't Porter then? you don't think he'd be more turned on and raise his level vs likes of Porter and Thurman?

                      Chaves gave Thurman hell!
