    Bigger loss of momentum; Thurman or Brook??

    Here we have two guys who looked to have bright futures and swelling fanbases. Now, without having a suffered loss, both are hugely criticized. Who threw away their momentum (with the public) worse?

    Thurman, no one expected much out of brook to be honest but his countrymen fans.

    thurmans have looked average in his fights and vulnerable and appears to be ducking porter, after all that dont duck me talk he just takes the bigger L here imo.

      Both equally lost momentum
      You had thurman crying saying everyone is "ducking me thun"
      Sounds alot like gg, accusing everyone of ducking him, but when a tough boxer challenges them then there nowhere to be found

        Brook has a local fanbase. Thurman doesn't. He has to be way more active and win way more impressive.

          Good, thoughtful responses. I think there's a big spotlight searching for the next Pac and May (not just the fans, but the industry/networks) and these guys dropped the ball at the worst possible time.

            Neither has suffered defeat and both still at the very top of the Welterweight Division so I don't think either has lost momentum. Thurman is likely fighting Porter next, not sure what more people want from the guy

            Brook on the other hand, if he is fighting Kevin Bizier then his critics will really come after him and rightfully so

              Don't think any have lost any traction I think in the last year both have raised their profile. Thurman / Guerrero has been the most watched fight on TV this year so far and I want to say the debut PBC card on Espn he fought Collazo .Brook has fought 2 nobodies at home and building up his UK fan base.

              Probably hardcore fans are frustrated because they havent really stepped it up and have lost some momentum among them ,but here's hoping they do in 2016

                Brook for me.

                At least Thurman seems to have Porter lined up.

                  At least Brook has Khan's name to use to hype up his bum fights.
