        I was just saying Duran was smaller than hagler by the same amount brook is too GGG. So if Duran did well no reason brook can't do well agauinst GGG.
        Your reply was Duran is greater than brook. My reply is GGG isn't as good as hagler so it evens itself out. Also brook isn't former lightweight like Duran
        So what I'm saying is no reason why Brook can't do well against ggg

          Brook was supposed to fight Chaves. Then a mysterious injury and Brook didn't postpone like everyone else does. Nope, he realized he could fight Bizier instead and so Brook simply canceled the Chaves fight. Now he was supposed to fight Vargas in an unification bout. Two gatekeepers at ww and Brook chickened out. Add to that the fact that Thurman said he was very interested in facing Brook, if Brook got by his agreed upon fight with Vargas. Add to that the fact that Spence would gladly fight him right now instead of another lop-sided eliminator. Chaves, Thurman, Spence, and Vargas. But yep, Brook is right no one wants to face him...

          Every promoter makes some easy fights, some in-house fights. But that is all Hearn does. Its not that no one is willing to fight G or Brook, it is that Hearn offers some bs and walks away every single time. But after he walks away he keeps saying no one will fight either one. I bet Porter would be happy with a rematch with Brook too. Hearn is even worse then TR and GB. By far. Since winning a title Brook's toughest foe was... Gavin? G's toughest foe as a pro... Lemeiux?

          Brook is only taking this fight so he can have an excuse to vacate his title instead of having to fight Spence. Win or lose against G, no way does Brook defend against Spence. Guarantee it. Lose to a young, unproven lion or to the best MW in the world. He already has an excuse, G is too big and Brook should be praised for taking the challenge. That is Hearn's line anyway. This is an in-house fight for Hearn and he is building an excuse for avoiding Spence.

          Spence and J-Rock are the two most avoided fighters. Would throw Rigo in if he didn't challenge Lomachenko, then demand a cw when Loma accepted, and then Rigo demanded a rehydration clause too! If Rigo is afraid to move up two pounds for the biggest fight he can hope for then he automatically forfeits any right to whine and cry about others avoiding him.

              It'll be a good fight but Brook clearly has the disadvantage. He would have had a much easier time beating Thurman, and he'll still be considered an Elite fighter.

                Duran was a greater fighter than Hagler, are you saying Brook is better than Golovkin?

                  One thing I do know is that Brooks comes across as a guy who will go down swinging. I'll have respect for him win, lose, or draw if he brings it!

                    It's not like the difference we saw on saturday, where santa cruz had a 7 inch reach and 3 inch height difference
                    He has got no chance. He hasn't even got a punchers chance.

                      Brook is an excellent fighter which i previously didnt believe he was. He will make it competitive but i saw the 1st carson jones fight and cant see him worrying GGG. I know fighters have off-nights but to beat GGG, which i dont see any fighter doing around the 154-168, you need to be seriously good all the time and even that would probably not be enough for the G man.
