Kell Brook: "I want Thurman. I want Bradley"

[Box-Office]

But Bradley thought he won the fight. He didn't think it was a draw so why would he feel the need to praise Chaves? Why would Thurman when he stopped him? Why would Rios?

I think you're the one clutching AT straws.

We all know that you'd be reciting the alphabet with your tongue around Chaves' ringpiece if he was Khan's next opponent.

Like the cringeworthy "Damn guys Chris Algieri is a hellava fighter" thread you made as soon as Khan cherry picked him over Brook.

I don't remember the last time a pro fighter at World level called the guys they beat "bums" or slate them.


Name me another guy who is a World champion in two different sports? Alistair Overeem with MMA and Kickboxing? And?

He doesn't need to slate him but he doesn't need to say that Kell Brook doesn't know what he's in for, it'd a much tougher fight than expected and that he's underestimating Chaves etc etc.

The bottom line is in his performances. Going neck and neck with top fighters repeatedly (hell he was beating Rios clearly) shows you are at or just below that level.

Yeah, he is good, has a good chance at beating Brook, the point however, is that it is not a good look on Brook, cuz the version Kell is boxing has lost to all the names he fought and was never even a World champion, coming off a long azz lay off, but of course this opens a new can of worms with the whole "who else was available?" debate, which we've done a few times now.

He was the best choice available.

If my memory serves me correctly, Maidana is the only one who has pulled out of fights with Thurman and Bradley

[LacedUp]

Was Bradley gonna say he Drew with a mediocre fighter let alone a bum? Not that Chaves is a bum, but you get the point.

You see in the real world we go by facts, facts are Chaves has never beaten a name nor ever win a World title, 0-2-1 in his real fights. Not by what the guys who beat Chaves thought of him. Stop clutching on straws.

You sound like those Khan fans who big up how Amir was battering Garcia before he got clipped as if that means anything cuz the end result was Khan lost.

and what about Keith Thurman? His words were: "I'll be highly impressed if Brook stops him. I'll be very very impressed if he stops him earlier than I did".

You've got two world level fighters saying Chaves is a top opponent, but I should take your word over it because "he aint got no world title wins doe". So what? What does beating Jose Rivera mean? Nothing. It just has a trap attached to it. If he beat Ismael El Massoudi for the regular WBA title as opposed to the interim - would that make him a better fighter? No.

What exactly is the difference between Chaves and Collazo? Of course other than Chaves has been fighting top 5 guys recently and been competitive and it wasn't 10 years ago, and of course that he's ranked within the top 10. Collazo is known for giving Mosley and Hatton problems a decade ago.

So what else?

So what the hell are you complaining for?

Imagine Thurman vs Porter comes off and Brook vs Chaves. Then Brook/Thurman will have two common opponents. That'll be sure to ****e things up.

Brook will then also have common opponents with Tim Bradley.

It's called covering all bases.

He'll be praying over his copy of the Quaran that Chaves can pull off the win but then he also has the list of reasons to discredit the win if Brook is successful.

I can imagine all the Khanturds coming out when Brook finally loses.

"See, he didn't deserve Khan!" either that or "Now we can't get the fight we all want" forgetting they were the ones who said Brook didn't "deserve" <- lol? a fight with Khan.
