Brook is a known ducker. This shouldn't even be in question.

Interesting that Arum would offer Brook the fight back then.
But just a couple of weeks ago he said that Bradley wouldn't be fighting Brook because "Nobody knows who Brook is!"
So people knew Brook back in 2012 but now he's a champion who beat Porter in the USA and nobody knows him? Does that make sense to you?
Bob doesn't want to do the fight now because he'd have to give up more money that won't be going in-house. And, as a champion, Brook doesn't have to sign future options to Top Rank.Last edited by Dirk Diggler UK; 12-17-2015, 05:42 AM.Comment

I think Bradley forces a higher pace against Brook than Brook is comfortable with. Unlike Porter, Bradley is a very comfortable boxer who can use his jab intelligently, and he won't be running straight in wind-milling and giving Brook an easy target. Brook's size and strength is certainly a factor, but by itself it's not enough against Bradley.
For Brook to win I think he will have to show a much better ability to pot-shot and score by leading from the outside than he has done to date. Only if he forces Bradley to be reckless can he win. And if he forces Bradley to be reckless he will have to win a dogfight against a much craftier dog than the one he faced in Shawn Porter.
Brook's good and of course he can win, but Bradley has a lot of different angles and is a difficult fighter to shut down with just one thing. I honestly think Brook would have to show something new to get a win over him.Comment

Bradley is a fine boxer no doubt about it, but i feel that the size and strength difference will be too much for him to handle. I can't see Bradley outboxing him on the outside, and i can't see him being able to rough Kell up.I think Bradley forces a higher pace against Brook than Brook is comfortable with.

However, i do feel that Bradley has more heart than most other boxers in the game, with an iron will to win. I'm not convinced about Kell's heart and imho it could be a big factor if the fight goes into deep waters.Comment

whats that supposed to prove or disprove, if i offered pac 5 dollars to fight me would he take it? look at what degale took home recently vs bute, both champions, he got 2 million dollars, 500k is nothing and brook is also a champion same as bradley so like i said your post has no point apart from top rank not wanting the fight and i say that because you dont offer ****** unrealistic money to people.
Yeah..........don't think so.
