    Absolute atrocious lie. He was slightly buzzed and that was it.
    I wouldn't bother trying to talk sense with that lying troll.

    Whatever happened with Senchenko, Brook was strong enough at 160 to take GGG's best punches, to head and body, without going down, and he landed more clean shots on Golovkin in than anybody else has done so far.

    After seeing that I would give Kel a chance of beating anybody at 160 or 154, and I think it's time for him to move up from 147.

        Really hope he gives Spence the shot he has earned but I will still be happy if he fights any of Pac, Danny, Thurman, or Khan.

        Just hope he doesn't end up letting us down and fighting some random European fighter that we haven't heard of

          I've said it before and I'll say it again. BROOK WILL NOT FIGHT SPENCE. Brook wants a payday against Pac. If he has his belt, that makes him a lil more attractive for Manny. They would probably let the fight go through and not strip him anyway and order him to fight Spence after that. If Pac doesn't choose Brook (which he probably won't) then Brook will vacate and move up to 154.

          Of course he's saying he will, but he won't. It might end his career if he did. Go up to 154, but I doubt he can cut it against the elite jmw's too. Williams, both Charlo's, Canelo, Andrade, and Lara. I don't know if he could beat any of those guys. And I guarantee Spence would put a hurting on him something bad. Brook desperately wants one more real payday.

              Nope, the champ is recovering. I hope Brook moves up to 154, picks some of those ripe Haymon cherries - Lara, Charlos, etc, then fights Spence at 154. Brook vs Spence would be a better fight without the weight issues.

                Spence can still be tagged fairly easy though, he's a beast no doubt, but his head movement doesn't appear to be the best, he keeps it stiff on the attack meaning it's always there to be picked off by a counter. He has a tendency to overthrown at times as well, I could see him getting outboxed by a clever fighter in the mould of Lara. Would he beat Kell? Difficult to say- I don't think Kell would handle Bundu that easy but I don't believe in triangle theories.

                  Not as easily as Brook....now that's a guy that gets hit fairly easily.

                    Brook should better look for properly healing his orbital bone first... and talk fights after...

                      Here is hoping the recovery is successful.

                      Those "ripe Haymon cherries" might just be biting off more than he can chew especially Lara. That is just my opinion. You obviously feel differently.

                      In any case, Spence is biding his time for his shot at the WW belt.
