    Who are we kidding? Spence can’t beat a prime Brooks.

    Watch the fight again then you will see who was the better fighter. By the time Brook fought Spence he was really damaged. He was coming off a meaningless fight. Bigger fighters like Froch were a avoiding GGG yet Brook went straight for him and took a beating. His face was basically reconstructed and his eyes could hardly see. He then took Spence the so called Boogeymen and pushed him until his health failed.
    If Brook was with Warren the GGG fight would never have happened and Brook would still be fresh.

    Love him, Hate him but Brook has the fundamentals right. He has a great jab, decent defence and moves well. He has some pop in both hands and softens opponents before knocking them down. Even Amir Khan had enough sense to avoid a humiliation by avoiding Brook. He is also a big lad and most of you guys would have loved him had he been well managed. See how he termed Potter? Let’s be honest, prime Brook beats Spence.

    Brook had the potential to be the Welterweight king of our era.

    Getting stabbed in the leg and the jump to MW ruined him.

      Exactly how did Froch avoid GGG? Dude was retired.

      GGG said he'd fight Froch, JCC Jr., and Ward at 168. When Ward accepted the fight needed a catchweight (something GGG said he didnt do lol).

      GGG wouldve done the same to Froch. And by the way Froch batters GGG

      People are big on Spence ONLY because he has Floyd's backing. Spence wont even fight Crawford who is small-average size WW

        Brook was incredibly talented, defo underachieved in his career. He got his face smashed in by GGG just because Khan trolled him into it.

            I think it's a 50/50 fight based on skills..... nothing much between them...... Brook's weight issues and 14-week camp to boil down, coupled with the injury done him...... that wasn't a 100% Brook.
