    This was the fight Brook should of waited for. A win over Spence would have solidify him as the best Welterweight in the world and maybe even a top 5 P4P'er. But can't blame the guy for daring to be great..

      "Cotto don't have to do shi.t...his resume is studded with named fighters.

      If anybody MUST fight a named fighter it's Brook".


      If he wants to get paid ala ppv Cotto NEEDS a name he's never had the power to do it on his own.


      motorcityC.........It might be a ****ty situation for Spence but the way I see it he's in a bigger fight with Cotto, a safer fight and a winnable fight.
      With Spence he losses two in a row!

        He sure as hell isn't beating too many people at 154.
        Arthur Abraham and Glen Johnson are 5'9" too, it's not about height, it's about your body

        I think he can beat guys at 154, he was already way underrated vs Porter and we saw how he handled him. He also did a lot better than most people expected vs GGG. 154 is stacked as hell but Brook can definitely handle some of those guys, I think he'd give Canelo, Lara, and Cotto really tough fights. The other guys, I still have to see more of them, they have limited resumes and have fought limited amount of styles in the pros so I can't predict anything with them

          Please let this fight happen although I don't see how Brook can go down to 147. But if it does, and Spence has one or two fights in between...what a match.

            So does Brook.

            Sure he can beat guys at 154.....if he is very careful picking who.

              Kell was hurt by a guy that Malinaggi previously destroyed.
              Brook went up 2 weight divisions and was getting the better of the best Middleweight of our era AND he didn't go down once. If you think his power and chin are doubtful then ydksab.

              Also in the first sentence when I said Spence I mean't Brook my bad.

              How does Malignaggi destroying a guy have any significance on that fighters power?

                From the comments on how Brook looked in his last fight, I'm really hoping this one here gets made

                  You mean best current middleweight? I'm not sure of our era is quite the right term.

                    **** outta here.

                    Brook went up 2 divisions and lost..

                    That won't help him against Spence..
