    It is like you're trying to convince YOURSELF more than anything else which is why you just keep posting the same stuff but just rewording it lol

    It is OK to admit that you don't know WTF is going to happen none of us do! Sure it could be Calzaghe vs Eddie Lacy all over again...it could also be Bradley going into the UK and dominating Junior Witter, it could also be Terrance Crawford going into the UK and beating Ricky Burns, it could be Andre Dirrell vs Froch with controversy, it could be like Oliver McCall going into the UK and knocking out Lennox Lewis.

    If they fight WE FIND OUT it is simple as that! Neither is a "HYPE JOB" neither is OVERRATED or any of that BS that you guys want to label them NOW. Your a GGG fan OF COURSE you cannot AFFORD for young Spence Jr to somehow DESTROY Brook making GGG biggest win thus far in his career look like a Complete JOKE so I get why you're all of a sudden a BIG Brook fan lol

    Styles make fights! Spence Jr was able to Stop Algeiri when Pacquiao couldn't and stop Bundu when Thurman couldn't because of STYLE because of how he mix up his punches, because of how he was able to cut the ring off vs Algieri and not allow him to SURVIVE like he was able to vs Pacquiao. The Ability to go to the body and just be unpredictable with where he is going with his punches. But lets find out, Brook is a good fighter himself and has improved on the inside since the 1st Carson Jones fight.

      How does a mandatory challenger avoid the champion? .... that's a rare scenario indeed.

      Plenty of people said Brook would duck Porter. First after his destruction of Malignaggi they said he would find an excuse or fake an injury, then with the VADA issue which was actually a Porter issue. Then the dates took a while to get confirmed - another thing that led a lot of posters to say Brook was ducking.

        Okay come to think of it, I can definitely recall the part about him faking an injury or pulling out so you might be right on that note.

          There were threads like that and you posted in one that Brook would announce a 6 month injury to get out of the fight https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/s...d.php?t=635787 post #10

                  In regards to that Brook Vs Porter fight, i remember the Ring magazine prediction thing they do. Out of the 21 boxing media guys/trainers they asked..all 21 picked Porter.

                  Similar was said about Alexander, who IMO, Brook would of walked through.

                    At least you can see that several people claim Brook would duck.

                    But how do we know you weren't serious? You are saying the same things this time around again

                      Look until people show me posters that are genuine post not trolls, am not believing thing here. Even the people sceptical about Brook now is due to his own long history of fights falling through. Like I told you last week show me one post where I have accuse Brook of ducking Spence. I still would hold my hopes up until I see them two in the ring. If that is your idea of me or anyone else claiming Brook is ducking then he is ducking then.
