    Not sure why Porter is being painted as some kind of beast...

Brook - padded out CV, one alphabet title in 35 fights, modest fan base nationally and not much interest outside of Sheffield, desperately chasing the domestic payday and sounding desperate and bitter the longer he chases...
      I thought you were much better than that Ezekial! Tell your permatanned promotor to get some more hair plugs, stop mentioning Khan and get you some big name 147lb fighters to beat and create your own legacy..
      Did you not hear, Brook is going to face Brandon 'Punch Bag' Rios.

        Brook is so concentreated on khan hes not concentrating on his own career and choice of opponents. He wants Rios next? Why not fight someone decent, rather than Pacs used goods?

        Dont get tired of hyping the fight, otherwise Pac v Floyd wouldn't have happened. Once Khan thinks Brook is off the PEDS then im sure the fight can happen when Khan is 30.

        In the meantime, Brook needs to fight Thurman or someone better than Porter

          Maybe because he almost left a man with a solid chin in a coma?

            He also got a gift nod over a semi-shot Julio Diaz

              Well he's trying to get someone decent in Khan Rios is more or less the next best thing with everyone else bar Maidana - taken.

              Brook and Hearn have said since Jo jo Dan that they're getting tired of the whole Khan situation and I understand. It is tiring hearing someone make one excuse after the other not to fight.

              Anybody remember this plonker from Khan:

              "If Brook really wants the fight, let's do winner takes all"

              Brook:

              "Ok let's go"

              Khan:

              "You don't deserve it"

                People like to bring that up for some reason. That was 3-4 fights before he fought Brook?

                Should we bring up Diaz' performance against Khan? I mean, who embarrassed themselves more vs Diaz? At least Porter went straight back and fixed it in the rematch and took his game to a new level and beat Alexander when he was a world champion and almost killed Malignaggi who was according to many coming off an almost win vs hype-job of the century Adrien Broner.

                Everyone was saying he was a beast. A mini mike tyson. He had found his style, Brook would go within 4 etc. Hell, I was worried myself.

                But of course, as is with boxing, when someone loses they are just sht and never was anything.

                  I didn't say that. There just seems to be no middle ground on NSB - either a fighter is a 'beast' or they're a 'bum'. Porter is neither.

                    Yawn.....

                    No Khan fight so we will fight Gavin instead

                    No Kahn fight so we will pretend we will try and fight Pac, Thurman but are just going to fight Rios instead.
