    Exactly.

    People are missing the point. The guy has been a professional for 13 damn years, and the only notch in his belt is Shawn Porter.

    If Spence wins, he will already have a bigger win on his resume than Kell Brook, and he's only been a pro for 4 years.

    That's Thurmans point. Kell Brook has looked great fighting cans, but hasn't proven much himself at ww....i keep trying to tell everybody.

      Well, he beat the piss outta Porter and Thurman arguably lost to Shawn.

        Thurman said Brook hadnt proved himself at 147 so what does he think of Spence then?

          People claiming that Spence hasn't proven anything fail to realize that Spence is in his 5 year as a pro, Brook has been a pro for over 13 years and hasn't proven much other than beating one legit fighter in that time. It took Brook 10 years to finally face a legit contender in Porter.

            Yes. It wasn't close. Brook schooled Porter.

              At this point, I think it would serve Keith Thurman correctly if he started worrying more about his own future in the sport of boxing rather than concentrating on someone else's.

                What Thurman says is definately true, Kell hasn't made any noise at 147. His biggest win is against an mma fighter Shawn Porter lul.

                  Brook wont beat Thurman. The top two in the division is Spence & Thurman. Its going to be a showdown between them two in a couple of yrs.

                    I swear I don't understand the logic sometimes.

                    Brook might be a ***** who trjes to get butt sexs on the low from random dudes, but he's gonna beat Spence down. And I'll quote and bump this thereafter.
                    Errol "The Truth" Spence Jr. wins late T.K.O.

                      This coming from a goofball who has shown many cracks in his game in recent years. Smooth sailing til he started fighting elites. Now? Thurmos is the one who's questionable. Brook isn't the greatest, but he'd certainly demolish Thurmos easily. And IMO he'll teach Spence some lessons.
