    I'll be impressed when Keith and Kell fight someone with a pulse.

        I give Chaves more credit than fans. It's sad to see boxing fans act like Chaves is not a top 10 WW. He had a draw with TB and should have beaten Rios but was too dirty. He's not an elite but he is a top guy.

            It's not a good point? Porter clearly wasn't at his best in that fight and corrected it in the rematch.

            Chaves is not a journeyman and you're an absolute imbecile if you think that.

            Brook would beat any WW, no WW wants to fight him blah blah blah. Why don't they go public with their offers like they did with Frampton?



            You're such a promotional fan-tard.
            Coming from you, the biggest fanboy of all on this forum, I'll take that with a pinch of salt. I've criticized Brook's fights on many occasions, you can barely muster a single negative word about Khan.

              If he outboxes him, I'll be more impressed. If he can avoid a war like none of the other guys did, it'll show more IMO.

                Box-Office is calling him a journeyman.

                Tell Tim Bradley and Keith Thurman he's a journeyman and they'll cringe.

                Even Seckbach was trying to play the whole "he's fighting your leftovers" to Thurman and Thurman was like "dude be serious".

                  Yeah, Tim Bradley was clearly not at his best in his fight with Chaves. See what I did there?

                  Then what is he? All of his step ups have resulted in failure. "oh the guy who drew with Bradleh". He is certainly well on his way to becoming one for sure.

                  Imbecile? You hide behind superficial rankings, top 10 this and top 5 that to make up for the fact that Brook has a pi$s poor resume. Just like calling names makes for a compelling argument.

                    Is Box Office still trying overly hard to salvage some shred of credibility?

                      brook has a reputation of having no inside game whatsoever so he has no other option but to try to outbox chaves

                      I agree tho , chaves is a decent fighter, prolly even better than a guerrero at ww
