Brook is better than Thurman

[Damn Wicked]

It's hard to say which guy is better but I can understand someone making a case for either guy. Time will tell who truly is the better fighter....or who is luckier.

Brrok has better footwork, a better jab, and better defense. I think Brook may not hit as hard, but has plenty of power for 147 and throws accurate unches.

He might be the better boxer in some aspects. They need to fight each other to find out who is actually better though.

I also think Brooks victory over Porter was MUUUCH more impressive than thurmans. I just want to put this to rest before the Spence fight.

I don't think it was more impressive. Brook definitely boxed better but he spoiled the fight quite a bit by wrapping up and clinching so much. Some will say it's good boxing, and it was, but I don't necessarily think it makes his win over Porter more impressive.

When you can't pick a winner you're in for a good fight. Both good fighters with something to lose. Can't wait.

Hmmm..Thurman fought better opposition. I wonder how Kell handles a real puncher. That is why i am looking forward Spence fight.

Does Gennady Golovkin not count as a 'real puncher'?

Brook is an old school fighter, he is well schooled and does all the basic thing quite well. This is why I see him knocking out Amir Khan. Brook is very intelligent and technically gifted in the ring, when you have a ring brain the only thing left is to get your body prepared for any battle.

We are talking about 147 competition.

And, if you ask, we saw how Brook handled GGG`s punches. Pretty bad.

Still makes no sense given he's fought far harder punchers than Spence has at 147. Why you not questioning his ability to take a shot?
Algieri, Bundu, Van Heerden, what a murderous row.

Pretty bad? lol
He took GGGs power better than most MWs have.

I mentioned that Spence hits harder than anybody Brook faced at 147.

Do you think Jo Jo, Bizier and Porter hit harder than Spence?
