      Hype is good and human nature. It happens in every sport. Fans get excited when they see someone who looks to be the real deal. Sometimes the athletes live up to the hype and sometimes they don't. It's not a big deal.

          Who says he's more than a prospect? And Brook only has one higher calibre opponent on his resume.

            The people who say he's the best Welterweight already, the same people who say the likes of Thurman, Brook, Porter, Garcia would get destroyed by Spence and are therefore running away from him. Keep up!

              You'd be surprised, man. Had a discussion with a dude had Errol in his top 5 P4P recently. He claimed to base his decision on resume too, which puzzled me.

                  Who exactly are all these people though? Yes, there are a bunch of trolls that you'd expect to spout bull****, but they should be known to you by now.

                    Like one poster said, fights are hard to make when fighters are overhyped. They think they're worth more than they deserve.

                      No, no, I wasn't claiming it was a common opinion, and I wasn't sure before but have quietly filed the poster in question as a troll (or possible ******), but was just pointing out that it has been said. That is an extreme example though.
