If I had to make a guess about who wants it more I'd say Brook. Brook has more to lose as well. Spence can come again if he loses, no shame and he'd be mandatory again within a year.

I'm so surprised that in a Ring pick of the experts Spence was 21-4 winner - I think he could well win based on the weight and orbital eye issues of brook - otherwise,, if Brook hadn't gone up to MW I'd see him as a 60-40 favorite as this stage in their careers.

This a whole does nothing but enjoy listening to himself speak there are so many far better commentaries that are put on the media ways I know more than this guy and I challenged him to it... he thinks just because occasionally works for broadcast he knows everything if he could have fought as well as his mouth portrayed himself he would have been leap and he was only average nothing more than average

That and the hype. People are really taken in by the hype surrounding this kid.

You pretty much nailed it at the end with 'if Brook hadn't gone up to MW'. A later post mentions 'both in prime'.

Brook is well past his sell-by date at WW. Brook 2 years ago vs Spence today would be different. Spence is on his way up, Brook on his way down, neither prime right now.

Brook will suffer because of the weight fluctuation he's put himself through. No matter what his mental state and how much he wants it, his body will let him down.

I like both fighters but if I had to I would root for Spence. I didn't like the way Brook approached the Golovkin fight. I'm not sure he went into that fight expecting to win. I think he just jumped at the opportunity and wanted to put on a good show, knowing he would lose. Now he is in with a hungry young fighter that's looking to capitalize on a somewhat diminished fighter coming off an eye injury. It's hard to buy his claim that he's now motivated when it's the same talk we heard when he fought Golovkin.
