    Mayweather isn't as big or strong as Brook, he could barely keep Maidana, Ortiz and Guerrero off of him. If Porter goes all out anddoes the same thing he did to Broner he could get the decision win, Porter actually did better against Broner than Maidana did, many of the Broner-Maidana rounds were close, Porter shut him out and IMO evened up the last round.

    And yes of course Brook would do good against Mayweather as well Hans.

    :nono, i understand your reasoning, but Porter is just too sloppy. Maidana > Porter. Porter doesnt even hit that hard.

    Porter's style of charging in, and then throwing his punches wont work that well either, because he's not exactly that great at cutting the ring off, he's just going to be lunging in and falling flat on his face because mayweather moved 10 feet away by then.

    Alright so you think they all do EXACTLY the same as each other....despite the vast difference in fighting styles and ability levels.

    First off, you thought wrong. 2nd, even had I said that, calling someone the best of the welterweight crop overall wouldn't the same as saying they do the best against Mayweather, would it?

    Ask Devon Alexander who's better in Maidana and Porter.

    In fact, going off rounds won against him- ask Broner between Maidana and drained dehydrated Porter.

    I think Porter should go watch some film on Henry Armstrong and try to imploy that fight style into his game. He would be a tank in the ring. My only concern is if he could keep up the work rate like Armstrong could. His stamina was unbelievable:patsch

    Kell Brook would beat Mayweather so would Thurman that's why he's fighting Khan next instead of them two.

    There not an option for top 75 welterweights to squeeze in Berto
