    He's a special fighter.

    He will beat anyone at 147 who accepts the fight. He is that good.

      I think he is really one of the top WW's however, his level of comp is pathetic.

      He and Hearn need to put in more effort in making these bigger fights happen. The IBF are also at fault but at this point in his career, he needs a big win.

      The Porter fight was 2 years ago. Enough is enough.

        I also think he's the goods.

        If he had a sense of urgency he would have been Floyd's #49 or #50 and faced manny.

          He won't fight any top fighter. If at all a fight is signed he will find a way to get injured only to turn around and fight a 'manadatory' who can't crack an egg

            He barely beat Porter and needed a Wlad-jab-and-hug strategy to do it, I don't even know if he beats Porter in a rematch honestly, who's improved and would be more ready for his style.

              Post fight he said it's hard making 147, wonder what will happen when he faces a genuine challenge and i'm not talking about a light hitting lightweight like Vargas or a small pillow fisted Tim Bradley

              Garcia and Thurman will cause him some problems

                Brook showed he was already higher than the Porter level of fighter. It's the same level that DA once occupied and Thurman may be at.

                He can certainly beat Garcia imo.

                Khan is a very tough fight, depending on how Khan looks next and doesn't suffer too much.

                I reckon both Bradley and Pacquiao beat him. However, Pacquiao is at that stage when he can age drastically in one span of 36 minutes.

                  Porter is old news

                  Let Kell fight Keith and Timmeh

                    Whatever talent and potential he truly has is not being realised.
