TBH I don't think Jacobs, BJS and Canelo would do better than Brook. :OhYes:

Brook isn't close to the level of Canelo.

I expect better from you Horse. He's certainly overrated by some, but boxers who suck don't beat Shaun Porter.

Based on if you are going to claim that a boxer "sucks," who has one loss in his professional career, to 3G two weight classes above his career class, back your silly Mr. Ed talking equine twat trash up.

Is that crystal enough for you?

Brook fought well v 3G. If he lands the kind of stuff he did on Gennady v Spence, it is going to get very interesting.

My question was about such high expectations from Horse, and it was sarcastic :lol:

Brook showed a lot of skill and speed in the G fight, but he wasn't used to the size and power of G. To be fair though, full fledged middle weights have issues with G's power.

As far as skill set is concerned, the OP could possibly be right. But it's close.

:maybe: Sarcastic or not, I answered your question.

If Brook "sucks" 99 plus % of professional boxers "suck." But, just because a horse can talk it does not confirm intelligence.

He sucks as far as being an interesting boxer to follow.

His 12.5 year career has been an absolute bore.

He's a bottom-feeder, he stinks and I don't like him.

You didn't understand again. I was asking about Horse, not Brook. Why would one have high expectations of Horse if all he posts is stupid p4p or HW lists.

Again, there should be minimum expectations, even for Mr. Ed.

Brook's a good boxer, as is Jacobs and Saunders.

Don't think any of them need discrediting, they all have a good win. However it's a fact that both Saunders and Brook haven't fought as good a competition as we'd all hope!
Not always their fault, but that's boxing, gotta get over it. Hopefully things change this year, we're getting Brook/Spence and GGG/Saunders (supposedly)....that satisfies me for a while!

There's two levels to look at it. There's best opponent faced and best opponent for a certain boxer to face. If GGG cleans out MW, Kell Brook would be the best overall opponent GGG faced but not the most impressive that GGG has beat. It's like Hopkins DLH. Even though DLH is the best opponent Hopkins beat, DLH wasn't a middleweight and I was more impressed with Hopkins beating Tarver, who is no where as good as DLH ever was.

Pound-for-pound, I'd say Alvarez > Brook > Jacobs > Saunders. In the absolute, I'd say... Alvarez > Jacobs > Saunders > Brook.
