I just can't ride with Brook, I see a few too many holes. Did you watch his fight with Bienias?? Although Brook smashed him in the end, he was getting caught pretty decent by that guy, and he was some poor Polish fella who had only ever fought outside of Poland once maybe, when he got smashed inside 2 rounds by Witter, and that was at 140.... He just bothers me that he has that style based on reflexes but just doesn't seem quick enough and doesn't appear all that difficult to hit. Similar to Khan in a way, where the elusiveness / reflexes doesn't actually stop you from getting hit...... Hell, its just an opinion, and certainly not as educated an opinion as a lot of posters on here, so maybe i'm bang wrong, only time will tell. I'd love for him to be top, I love boxing and British Boxing, so it would be absolutely beautiful for British boxing no doubt.
I think the advantage Brook does have is that he is a solid Welterweight, not like Mitchell moving up.

mitchell looked a decent fighter before the katsidis fight, i had a feeling it would be a tough night for him but i didnt expect him to get wiped out as he did
i didnt ever think anywhere near as highly of him as i do of brook, and his style isnt just on reflexes, his accuracy and power look very impressive
its hard to say how good he is because he hasnt been in a tough fight, but in one way that can be a positive because he has breazed through british level
