Brook vs. Bradley

[Badhusker]

I'll refrain from starting a thread on it, (more rumors) but recently read there is a possibility of Garcia vs Guerrero and Porter vs Thurman for this fall. Khan will wait I guess and say he will have to face so and so, because the better guys all have fights scheduled.

If this comes off, it's a good matchup.

I want to see Brook defend against someone with a pulse!

Me too. I remember a couple of years back Brook turned down the chance to fight Bradley. His confidence has always been a big question mark. I suppose he knows Bradley is not a huge puncher, and has shown slight vulnerabilities in recent fights though. Bradley isn't an easy win for anyone though. I would guess it will be close, something like when Brook fought Porter.

Been really impressed by Brook. The guy can box! 116-112 type decision. Man I really wanted Floyd to fight Brook.

I reckon Brook would stop Bradley a pretty easy win.

Bradley's proven far more, challenged himself far more, and beaten more top fighters than Brook has even negotiated with much less manned up and fought.

I reckon Brook gets out boxed, pretty easily

Bradley definitely more proven. I'm not saying Brook will definitely win easily or even win at all but what have you seen style or ability wise that makes you think Bradley could easily outbox Brook?

In my view Tim is great at making adjustments, basically seeing what the opponent is showing him and executing the best game plan possible. His footwork is very good, much better and quicker than Brook. Hand speed clearly goes to Tim as well.. Conditioning is another advantage, nobody is going to outlast Bradley he is like a machine. Brook barely ever moves his head, it won't take heavy punches to beat him it will be volume. That is Tim's game, outwork em break them down. Kell is good, partly because he is a Jr. Middleweight draining to stay at 147, so he's strong as hell. Maybe it won't be easy, but a knockout is Kell's only shot and I don't see it happening.

exactly. marquez was old and around 2-3 division over his favourite division.[/quote]
He didn't look old in the fight before Bradley [/quote]

i mean timmy is good no doubt but he aint top top level.....okay he had a good marquez, okay he is athletic, but there is just something i dont like in feather fisted fighters and he is totaly feather fisted....that guy with this kind of athletic ability and condition, had he on top power, he would brutalize everybody.

Out of all the fights out there been mentioned for Brook, Thurman, Khan, Marquez, I think style-wise this is the one i'd be least confident of Kell winning. Bradley's work rate is incessant, he adjusts mid fight, is totally confident in his own ability and has just been there and done it,has under rated strength and boxing skills (see marquez fight). Also think he slightly favours being the underdog, which, if the fight was in the UK, he would be - Or at least that's is how he would be billed.

That being said, wanna see Kell step up and take it. He could beat him, he could get beat - not enough of that happening at the moment. Khan fight should still be there no mater the outcome.

I think Brook's much heavier hands would make it very difficult for Bradley.
