    His defense is not good, his movement is not good.

    I know you are a Brook fan, but be realistic, he's a sucker for the overhand right, he gets hit flush by smaller men

    Canelo ain't Carson Jones or Porter
    I think you'll find being realistic is never a problem I have. You are rarely ever realistic about Brook, its usually bitter, which has now carried over to your posts about Canelo since last night.

    Brook has much better footwork and defence than Khan, is much more skilled offensively, much more disciplined and diesnf walk into shots. He's generally a much better fighter than Khan.

    Canelo would rightfully be the favourite, but that's a good fight.

      I am realistic about Brook, i'm one of the few who says he beats Spence on here.

      but Canelo? no chance.

      Brooks defense revolves around clinching. He gets hit flush a lot, there is nothing Brook has that will trouble Canelo. He can't move around like Khan.

      Brooks never been hit by a man like Canelo, he's never felt power, also Brooks lack of experience against top level competition will play a huge part.

      Khans fought 12 world champions

      Canelos fought 10

      Brook has fought 1

      Canelo's will destroy Brooks body and take him out with a overhand right.

        Thurman gets stopped.

        He panics far too much when he gets tagged. Good thing he has heavy hands to make his opposition think twice but at MW I doubt it would affect Alvarez. Canelo closes the distance,works on the body and begins feinting to set up rights to Thurmans head and its game over.

          A fun fight but you couldn't pick Keith on the evidence to date. Maybe he proves himself as a top tier operator this year, but he's not there yet.

            That's not saying much, Spence is untested.

            Brook's defence involves plenty of upper body movement, leaning and range. He's not a clinch type of fighter, no matter how much you try and convince yourself.

            Brook doesn't over extend on punches, he judges range very well and he is skilled; he has plenty to make it interesting.

            The bigger man would be the rightful favourite, but that's a good, tactical fight.

              Brook and Spence are big enough to move up at some point, Brook is also a very, very good fighter. The rest of the WW's would be easy work.
              this. it would be another brutal KO

                  I honestly think Thurman puts up a good and maybe wins despite the size. Not super high on Canelo and Thurman also has skills and power.

                    Canelo has a similar style to Chaves who gave Keith a good fight, Canelo is a lot bigger and better than Chaves, so...

                    Thurman would definitely win some rounds though

                      Canelo is practically a MW who walks around at LHW and fights at Caneloweight.

                      Pretty sure he stops anybody under 154 not named Manny or Floyd. I'd also give Bradley a shot given how analytical Atlas is of Canelo.
