So Brook punchers harder shorter and has a better stance? Has BATB ever been dropped by a straight punch man? Timmy has better D, better footwork, better lateral movement, better inside fighter, better body punch, better intangibles etc etc. It's laughable to compare Brook to someone like Bradley because you don't know what happens when he's in the lions den. Because he's only been in there with Porter, who like I said is a bootleg Bradley. You comparing a barely above Euro champ with 1 good win to a time over and over world champ :yeshrug: Bradley UD's Brook

timmy doesnt have better footwork tho. it was improved in the rios fight again because he was fighting a heavy bag. hes constantly making big steps and getting out of position, twisting his ankles and injuring his own feet. just because someone has faster feet doesnt make that good footwork. good footwork is always having your feet in th right position to fire hard punches. not just movement. better d? not really. he doesnt pay mind to defense a lot of the time when hes on offense. he differentiates the two which is why he constantly gets caught in wild exchanges. brook is defensively sound while hes throwing punches because hes always in the right position. and brook will make you miss by a couple inches and counter immedietely with a hard jab, ledt hook or right cross. bradley will go into pure slipping mode moving around erratically and getting himself out of position to where he cant fire back. its why pacquiao neat him. he has shown he can have good footwork and counterpunching but its not consistent. when he gets tagged he wants to start brawling.

brook vs any of these welterweights are all great matchups regardless. i think brook has the easiest time vs garcia and bradley. garcia throws too wide and bradley will get bullied by the bigger man in brook. thurman is a problem for anybody with his athleticism. we got to see at least 1 of these fights for brook.

AB embarrasses him. Same reason Herrera turned down a fight with Crawford.
Crawford presents a whole different set of problems for a guy like Mauricio that I doubt he would be all that worried about seeing from Broner.
Plus at this point in time Crawford is way more likely to be seen as a much tougher opponent than Broner by just about any boxer.

I couldn't disagree more breh :yeshrug: Bradley uses lateral movement and a swarming style so his footwork is based on getting inside. From the outside he boxes well, and can get inside pretty easily on everyone he's fought. Only thing I agree is Bradley has a tendency to brawl and he doesn't defend well then.

Again you're taking about Brook doing this that and the third.....he fights non top 10 ring guys with the exception of one. I'm sure Bradley would UD those euro scrubs as well. To say that Brook would have the easiest time with BATB and Swift is :heh::heh: your boy doesn't bring his jab hand quick enough to avoid getting the swift left hook from hell. So on and so forth, Brook shouldn't be talked about these dudes until he steps back into the realm.

what do you mean bring his jab hand back quick enough? hes not in position to be hit when he jabs so its irrelevant where his hand is coming back to. he doesmt use his left hamd for defense. he pulls and slips and deflects with his lead shoulder but he never blocks with that left hand. its always free to counter with stiff jabs amd hooks. do you even watch brook breh? :comeon:

That's why more people call him out than Broner? :ohhh:

What Happens if Bizier beats Kell Brook...

Then we get a Bizier vs Swift unification...

I would pay top dollar to see @patscorpio live reaction when he hears that news :lolbron:

what happens if the moon falls out the sky onto the earth?
what happens if the sun doesnt rise tomorrow?
what happens if it rains money?

we can all wonder about things that will never ever happen but where does it get you? :francis:
