    Bradley? I don't see that myself.

    Bradley mauled inside against Alexander and beat him up, similar to what Porter did to him. I also thought the Marquez fight was much closer than some suggest, a couple of rounds max. Bradley is good, but I don't rate him as a top P4P fighter.

    Peterson was down 3 times against Matthysse, down a few times against Victor Ortiz in a fight he clearly lost and got gifted a draw, down against Khan, down against Bradley....Going up to fight bigger, better and stronger opponents is a bad idea IMO.

      Brook vs Peterson would be a good fight. Peterson is a skilled opponent and would be a decent name on Brooks resume if he can get the win. Make it happen Hearn.

          All that is true, I had Khan and Ortiz winning. Bradley's victory over was pretty clear imo. Nonetheless Peterson made it tough for all of them. He always gets up and presents a stern challenge, not necessarily a bad defence for Brook He was also very big versus Danny. Same height as Brook and also has a three inch reach advantage.

            No ****** comments as I'm being serious. Kell Brook is in the elite and 147 and Lamont Peterson planned on moving to 147. Stylistically this is a very good match up in my opinion. Peterson is a tough durable guy who can put the earmuffs on and pile the pressure or he can be slick and make you miss as he did vs Garcia. It would be a tough fight and also an entertaining one. You'd have to rightfully favour Kell but Peterson is tough and looked good in his last outing vs DSG which he could have won if he put his foot down earlier. Would anyone be interested in this fight? A step up from Dan and Gavin who's been in with a lot of good names and would be intersting to see how Kell deals with someone slick (which he hasn't done yet) or someone that's in your chest, same height as you as doesn't smother his own work. Also, I don't see Brook stopping Peterson, Lamont has a lot of dog in him.

            When did people start rating Peterson as good? I mean seriously this guys best days were at 140 when he was roided. I dont even care for Garcia (because of his fans) and I thought Garcia clearly beat him 7-5 because Lamont was running around like a jack @$$ the first 6rds. He dont deserve a Brook match, he really didnt even deserve a Garcia match. He was only relevent because the IBF loved him for some reason. So to add to your thread this is actually a terrible fight. Lamont should fight guys like Hank Lundy.

              Did Frankie Gavin "deserve" a title shot? No way in hell would he have won the eliminator vs Bradley. It's a solid defence and 7-5 either way was reasonable in Peterson-Garcia. A lot of people thought Peterson won as did I on first watch.

                And what the **** is your problem? I'm talking about Brook so I'll talk about his other performances if I want dork. The same way I've mentioned Lamont's performance versus Garcia.
                You make a thread and tell people to not veer off-topic then you randomly bring up scoring Brook-Porter because you're intention for this thread was to try and dig out Brook, not to have any actual discussion about Brook-Peterson.

                I wish you'd stop the "I'm not a Khantard" act, it's stale.

                  Peterson might be all wrong for Brook.

                    absolute idiot. How many actual bouts have you been in? I'm closing in on 40 and have actually been in the ring unlike you keyboard warrior. And Bradley's resume is stacked you ******. Stop the dumb **** act you bellend.

                      First of all Pacquaio is hardly a skilled boxer and then to say Bradley is only behind him and Mayweather in terms of boxing skill is beyond laughable.

                      Bradley didn't "box circles" around Alexander - have you even seen that fight? He mauls and smothers Alexander with barely any clean punches being landed.

                      Although I guess that sort of thing impresses you since you scored so many rounds for Porter against Brook. That must be what you think "skill" is.

                      You've been in the ring? You must be ****.
