Brooks next opponent ....

[IamInuit]

My guess is someone like JoJo Dan or maybe even Bailey. I’m not sure how far he dropped in the rankings and specifically the IBF as they have not updated their rankings since February. I guess nobody brought a hat to the last meeting.

Brook is a very skilled fighter. What he lacks from what I can gather is the will to go along with the skill. He’s physically gifted but to mentally deficient imo to operate at the highest level. To put it quite simply, he seems petrified to travel and fight for the very thing he wishes to possess when he’s in a position to do so. I’m not calling him a chicken or anything but resolute in not leaving the comforts of the womb. He has the attitude of some present day world champions w/o being one.

Even last night he seemed to me to convey a sense of entitlement. He fights a guy he already beat 2 months past a date for the title he couldn’t make and fights the guy at a catch-weight. In the post fight interview he said in effect that they never bothered with 147 because this was not a title fight. WTF? In a role reversal in the twilight zone vain, his fists seem to have written a cheque that his brain can’t cash. I think he lacks something crucial in the old melon and now has the perfect opportunity to wait out the division.
