If you was Khan's manager would you have accepted the fight against The Special One?

I did, but that's because the only fight I had watched of Brook was the Jones and Senchenko fight at the time. I've watched a lot more Brook now.

 

I'm not saying he's fought a murderer's row at 147, just that he's been in with enough live bodies to get a sense of what he's all about. And I certainly think Porter is his best win. Everyone looks for different things in a fighter and to my eye, Kell has the goods. If he and Keith ever get in the ring we'll find out :bbb

 

Kell is definitely the goods. I've never denied this. But I think Thurman is a different kind of special if you know what I mean :good. I think he beats everyone at WW besides obviously Mayweather/Pac, and Thurman/Khan/Maidana.

 

Hans, we've already went through this. I don't use alts, but you clearly do, and Inever made a brook/porter pick on here. I did talk **** on thaboxingvoice chat about the fight, and had some fights wtih some Brits, but never on this forum. Why would I lie when I already admitted that I picked Porter to thrash Brook?
And you're right, I used the Jones fight to ****yze who would win. I was clearly wrong, and Julio Diaz beat Porter the first fight, so that does discredit Brook's win over him a bit.

 

We shall see :good

I think Thurman sparks Khan (not rocket science) but I still think Khan gives Floyd more trouble than any of the other WW contenders outside Pac. Doesn't matter, Floyd beats Khan anyway.

 

Look skill wise this could be true. Porter is so raw, and he doesnt have much skill, but his chin, grit, toughness, rough house tactics, and power make him the better overall fighter, and much tougher opponent.

 

In other news, I'm arguing with yeyo monster on another thread and he's just informed me that he gave 5 rounds to Holyfield in the first Lewis fight (mind-boggling). He gave me his round by round card and I just rewatched the fight. He scored a round where Holy got outlanded 32-8 to Holy (even more mind boggling). Of all the robberies that get a lot of press this one has to be the easiest to score. There's like 2 close-ish rounds, if you squint. And if you give those rounds to Holy you still end up 10-2 Lennox. This site gets richer every day.

 

If Brook can learn from Jones I then Thurman can learn from round 1 of the Soto-Karass fight, no?

 

He's on the yeyo. Honestly I thought Lewis won clearly both fights, by quite a margin, but I haven't watched the fight for years so I couldn't tell you the rounds :good. Always thought Lewis was one of the best heavyweights head to head, and always got downplayed. But apparently I hate "brits", so this can't be true, even though if you look atmy post history from months ago, I've stated this several timees.

 

I didn't only watch a couple of Porter or Thurman fights. I've watched Thurman longer than you, and probably porter as well. You definitely have watched Gavin and Brook longer than me, but I've seen a fair share of Brook fights, but only a couple of Gavin fights. Sadam Ali has at least beat Abregu which was his step up, Gavin lost his step up against a half decent opponent, Gavin has beat no one, that's why he's a scrub opponent.
