    I think both these guys have a bit of a yellow streak in them. I know that will piss off a lot of you idiots but I said it about Matthysse years ago, I said it about Ortiz years ago and I'm saying it about these two right now.

      I can't recall a guy getting so much positive hype with projected future W's after getting his face destroyed lol. Never understood this Brook hype. He's fought 20+ bums & journeymen while almost losing to one of them (Carson Jones the first time around), beats his first respectable name guy in Porter & then gets his face destroyed by the 2nd respectable name he fights & now he's f#cking up everyone. Thats f#cking nuts. I still say Spence beats him & he probably loses to half of the top 5 or 6 at 154.

        Good fight. I'd like to see it.

        Think Brook would win.

          Love the way you describe GGG.

          "2nd respectable guy".

          Now that's a ***ing hilarious way of taking credit away from someone.

                Brook is just a better boxer, has a better jab, faster(which is crazy because Thurman is fast). I think it would be a good fight but Brook is a bigger guy as well. I think Brook controls the fight from distance and wins relatively easily.

                I don't think GGG and Thurman need to be similar fighters for this to be valid.
                Brook is less agile,has less hand speed and foot speed, is not a counter puncher, and probably has less power as well.

                  Ive said many times Brook would school thurman and garcia.

                  After last night im only more confident with that showing of heart, chin and courage.

                    If you can look at Brook's resume & see more respectable names than Porter & GGG fair play to you, but I don't see it. And I'm not dogging Brook, who I've already said I was impressed with & thought he was even a lil more competitive then I expected, so much as saying cmon with Brook beating everyone now like I see wayyyy too many mfers saying.

                    If I came to this site this morning without seeing the fight & without seeing spoilers I'd assume Brook had won the fight with all these pro-Brook threads & anti-GGG threads & thats a lil f#cking nuts when Brook was seeing 3 GGG's by round 2 & is probably gonna be out 8mos+ cuz of his destroyed face.

                      Brook's feet are way too slow. He would be forced to come forward for most of the fight and catch powerful counters. Thurman would take advantage of that all night.
