So how does Brook fare against the rest...

Of the WW Division?

Thurman, Khan etc. How does he fare against them?

 

I think he has too much for Khan. Want to see it though..

 

Something along the lines of...

Khan - 50/50
Thurman - 50/50
Floyd - 90/10 Floyd
Pacquiao -70/30 Pacquiao
Maidana - 60/40 Brook
Marquez - 60/40 Brook
Bradley - 60/40 Brook
The rest - 70/30 or more in Brook's favour

 

I think Thurman bangs him out, Pac and Mayweather too much for him, he could well struggle with Khan because Brook's work rate is absolute shite. If he can't beat the likes of JMM, a 40 year old former 122 fighter then it's time to rap the ****ing thing in.

His big fight that's winnable is against Khan me thinks.

 

He's just a titleist & that's it, last night showed me he is never going too become a leading light in the division. Pac would cripple him, Floyd just needs to tie one arm behind his back for a shut-out, I though Brook & Porter showed us what their level's really are...(B)

 

Id like to see Bradley on Uk soil away from American scorecards then a massive unification payday against mayweather. That's my route

 

Don't know about that. A certain highly ranked fighter of the decade struggled with JMM.

 

And that fighter of the decade was also a former flyweight who always had trouble against that fighter.

Hey I agree and I think JMM could well cause Brook problems, but what I am saying that says more about Brook not being true world class than what a great welterweight JMM is, you wack JMM in the welterweight division back in the early 80's and he'd be fooking wigged to death and he'd be fighting back at lightweight or light welterweight at a push without a doubt.

 

Jesus lads don't go overboard, Porter looked cluless in there, this is a guy who scraped a draw against Diaz. Kell Brook IMO is now number 6 at WW. Got that 6 to say he beats Bradley or has a strong chance of beating Pacquiao or Mayweather is laughable, it was a close fight which he did edge. Pacquiao would beat Brook down he doesn't swing wildly like Porter.

 

who knows?

Brook isnt the best boxer out there but he is very good and capable of giving ANYONE a decent fight..that is good enough for me.. there is only 1 mayweather and everyone else is somewhere a few leagues below that and on any given day they will all beat each other....

hard to remember a division as good as this

 

You're probably right about back in the 80's but right now JMM is ranked top 5 at WW by most. Pacquiao is ranked top 3 and he struggled with Marquez. I'm just saying Marquez isn't so terrible that if you can't beat him you should retire so what you said seemed a bit harsh on JMM.

I think Brook has a good chance against any welterweight apart from Floyd and Pacquiao.

 

I think Mayweather would beat him in 2nd gear, but he beats all of them in 2nd gear, and Id fancy Pac to beat him too.
I haven't seen Thurman, but I think Brook could beat Khan and Bradley.

I think Brook v JMM would be quite a good fight tbh.

 

Pacman would do better against brook

Floyd hasn't fought a fast fighter in almost 8 years there's a reason for that

 

Figure of speech kid, I didn't mean he should pack it in as in retire. What I did mean is he's spouting he's the Welterweight champion of the world, well beating a 40 year old former 122 fighter really should be expected.

I wouldn't bet on Brook beating JMM, that says more about the quality at welterweight these days than anything, like I say, early 80's and JMM simply wouldn't bother his ass moving up to welterweight because he would be wigged and he'd know it.

Even though JMM has bet Pac who he always troubles, at 147 he's looked awful, let's be honest.

 

One of the most interesting things I heard in the build up to this fight was that when Kell went to the Mayweather gym, Floyd made a point of getting one of his crew to get hold of Kell and made sure he had a seat to watch his sparring session.

This indicates to me that Floyd expects there to be a really good chance he'll face him at some point and given he only has a few fights left it maybe that Floyd expects Kell to take care of any other challengers in the lead up to this fight??
