Comments Thread For: Hearn: Brook vs. Vargas Possible, Peterson Still in The Running

[-GDS-]

Peterson's resume is light-years better than Brook's, 140 pounders or not. He basically has the size of a welter, and would have a 5 inch reach advantage. I don't know why people are crapping on that fight, Peterson's debatably better than anyone on Brook's resume because Peterson is IMO more skilled than Porter. Not saying he'd win, but he's worlds better than Jo Jo Dan. But Brook vs Bradley is what I'd truly prefer.

****ting on Brook's only career win? Doesn't seem like a good idea lmao

Would you rather 5 more Gavin & Dan's, or a rematch with Porter..

Of course a rematch with Porter. But that's not what you put out. Now you're putting one extreme against the other.

I'd rather see Brook face another top guy rather than Porter and rather than any of the bums he's been facing.

But saying Porter is better now - I'm just speculating where the evidence is?

No mention of Errol at all? What's wrong, Eddie?

Hearn is making up lies that apparently Spence doesn't want it, Hearn completely forgets that Spence was willing to fight Thurman last year but suddenly he isn't ready for a weaker opponent in Brook... Okay.

Not fooling anyone.

Hearn never said Spence didn't want anything.

IMO the problem lies in that Brook is not as close to Elite as he (or many Brits) thinks he is. He beat Porter, but Porter is just a guy really. Peterson is a good challenger but Brook wants that elite level fight. IMO he's using Peterson's name as a bargaining chip for the lesser Vargas. He knows he wants the belt to validate his elite status and if he has belts champs will have to fight him in theory.
