just bcos he hits harder doesn't mean hes in their class.....and bcos brook isn't a devasting puncher, it means even less....mexicooo wrote:palooka wrote:no they would love it if they prepared for the kell that fought....erm....hold on......erm....kotymexicooo wrote:I imagine that Brook would love it if Porter and his camp prepared for the Kell Brook that boxed Jones.
Herol Graham was world class for years and got messed around no end, he didn't get a shot till past his peak and gave the great Mike McCallum a real argument. Woods developed into world class and beat some men who were supposed to punch holes in him.
There's no need for the insults; no one here is 'retarded'.
Countries like Mexico, the Phillipines and the USA have populations of 100's of millions and have grinding poverty. The UK is a small relatively affluent country and boxing is a minority sport and interest - the countries culture and sports popularity obviously sways the promotional angle.......my point exactly
herol graham never beat one man that was world class...who did Clinton beat that was world class?
It works both ways....the uk has the funds to educate, etc.....but the majority of trainers through to fighters don't really know too much about the sport at the top end....like they do in these other countries.... I mean tell me one fighter from mexico to the phillipines that would select Gallagher as their trainer for example. obviously people like tibbs, and booth, are the exception....maybe even lee beard
as I say brook will prove the old saying ' you can fool some of the people some of the time, but not everyone all of the time' true....he fights porter anywhere, he gets exposed, and the 1000's of bandwagon jumpers will suddenly jump off, and say they 'knew it all along'
I don't think Brook has 1000's on his bandwagon, there are people on here that know him personally and are close the gym he trains at. Many are agnostic about Kell and/or frustrated with the long winded approach to the title. When he is on form he is very good and if the prospect of a world title doesn't fire him up then nothing will. Porter won't have it his own way and Brook hits harder that Devon or Paulie, he'll not be able to just walk in.
you mentioned that clinto woods beat Johnson....man lost ALL 3 times, I don't care what the cards said. He beat Gonzales...big sh!t!....like I say no one world class......herol graham....again hes best known for a youtube video courtesy of Julian Jackson....fringe world class, but not true world class[/quote]
What is your definition of world class?

Is there anyone you dont pick a fight with Mexicooo?
