He's a better boxer than Spence and more proven. Spence hasn't faced anyone with exeptional speed or power and only gets hyped because of a rumored sparring session with Floyd where they leave out that Floyd almost stopped him.

Re: Spence wants to go to 154
By his 22nd fight Kell Brook was fighting Rick Dishwasher, and washy dishy man was a step up. Dozens of people came to see it... So lets not debate who's the actual ambitious fighter in this match up. Kell had nowhere else to go, he was forced into this fight or vacate. Kahn played him again, his money grab at middleweight almost ended his career thank goodness he didn't have to face the true ending, this guy's arrogance combined with Hearn's mishandling has left Kell in a bad spot. You will all undeniably see why this was the last fight the Brit wanted. After this fight all anyone is going to hear is "like Jeff Lacy huh? lolololololol yeah.."

I'm hoping for a classic and then why not! Im nervous but so looking forward to the fight. Most in ages! Could be the tommy - ray Leonard of this era!

Brook & Spence both said "I'm not taking a step back" which means fireworks.Ossyrules wrote:I'm hoping for a classic and then why not! Im nervous but so looking forward to the fight. Most in ages!

...Only If I have to...
In other words I expect a tactical fight. I'd be surprised if they both went Hagler Hearns on each other.

How do you see him against Thurman.Pac.Charlo bros..Lara.Andrade?
Can he become the top boss @ 147 & 154, coming into consideration along with guys like Loma or Crawford as the best boxer in the world?
He hasn't beaten anyone noteworthy at 147 yet, never mind 154.
He's obviously a great prospect I have tipped him to win, but I think the massive hype might be going to his head.
Even if he does get past Brook, there's a world of trouble out there at 147 if he truly wants to rule the division.

There's no need for them to go Hagler/Hearns at all.
Hagler v Hearns was only like that because that was the only way Marvin could win his fights by 1985.
This is not the case with Brook & Spence.

The proof is in the pudding, we'll see soon enough who's the man and who isn't. The funniest part is everyone, even the oddsmakers, think Brook is gonna fail in his own hometown. Everyone except a few fluffers no big deal.

It's not because spence got to the top quicker, or has shown more ambition at any stage of his career etc etc
He'll be the better man on fight night. End
Re: Spence wants to go to 154
Actually it's a lot more relevant than you think. Brook the long time welterweight chose to never face a real puncher, in his own division, before his promoter threw him in with a middleweight that hits like a light heavyweight. That complacency, as a long time top WW & champion and not once facing a top puncher, is a red flag. The only guarantee is that he's gonna wish he had faced one before today, because today is going to hurt. Cheers

The fact that he got in with golovkin shows he isn't too concerned about his whiskers
You can call it a red flag if you like. To say the only guarantee is he'll wish he had been in with punchers prior to spence isn't a guarantee at all, it's just your bias for spence, who coincidently has been in with no punchers. Red flag?
Long story short, you want/think spence will win. No problems.
Biased arguements are easy to counter though
Re: Spence wants to go to 154
Now everything is more real. He beat an world class ww and after unifying titles he should go up like he said for bigger challenges. Charlos, lundy, lara and andrade all will welcome him with open arms.
