    Brook, hands down. He was the one I wanted Floyd to face. Unify the division.

    when is pac ever discouraged charging in? he didn't throw nearly as many punches as you're used to seeing him do. on the inside mayweather vs pacquiao epilogue one of the TMT d*ckriders even said it himself: "he didn't throw that many punches, you know like he usually does? he didn't throw that many punches"

    A draw? Come one man, if you expect to be taken seriously you can't come in here saying that fight was a draw there is absolutely no way that fight can be scored a draw. Lastly Cotto is versatile so there goes your argument right there.:deal

    It's impossible for anyone to know that.

    cotto can brawl but he's a mediocre boxer, that's why trout whooped his ass. cotto's not that good at brawling either. that's why margarito thrashed him in their first fight(loaded gloves or not). margarito is a plodder with little speed. canelo is also a plodder that's about to outbox cotto. like it or not, floyd either fights a guy who can box really well but sucks on the inside or he fights a guy who can brawl really well but sucks on the outside. it's rarely a combination of both.

    floyd did NOT look dominant in the dela hoya fight. i scored it a draw and it would have been officially a draw if dela hoya won probably one more round. what about the castillo fight? castillo:203 punches landed, mayweather:157 punches landed.

    When is the last time #48 fought someone as good as PBF? PBF always lowers his opponents work rate where have you been?

    :lol::rofl

    Most guys can't do everything if they can then they're special fighters like PBF who can fight at all ranges with a high ring IQ and good defense.:deal This is nothing new the very fact you bring this up shows that you understand little about the sport.

    Certain guys can look better against PBF though guys who are naturally bigger than him who can fight on the inside and bully him and have a looping overhand right even still he can do enough to outbox them. A guy like Oscar who lost most of his big fights didn't do anything in that fight. PBF took away his jab landed the cleaner shots made his aggression ineffective owned him in the middle of the ring and watched him fade down the stretch on cue mind you this was with the deck stacked in Oscar's favor to at 154 for his first fight at that weight.

    PBF won that fight 9-3 or 8-4 at worst it was a clear win for PBF not even worthy of a rematch. With JLC PBF won the first 5 rounds of that fight clear in order for you to think that JLC won that would mean you didn't give PBF another round after the 5th which is ridiculous.

    Who has Brook beaten? Porter(who Brookturds proclaimed a slow plodder lol)? He is even behind Khan in the Mayweather sweepstakes.

    What is the point of the poll, it's like asking for validation whether water is wet. Not one sane person has defended who he chose but many have adequately rationalized why he chose Berto, it don't soften the severity of the mediocrity but it offers some avenues to diffuse the extreme hysterics and whoops by the 'haters'.

    oscar landed that jab all night lol, floyd did not control the pace of that fight at all, plus dela hoya was over the hill, imagine if he was younger..

    "Most guys can't do everything if they can then they're special fighters like PBF who can fight at all ranges with a high ring IQ and good defense.:deal This is nothing new the very fact you bring this up shows that you understand little about the sport". so you're admitting that floyd has never fought a live body ever in his career. he has no wins over a prime ATG at their optimal weight class so that alone keeps him from being "the best ever". i used to be a floyd fan but guys like you and MVC literally ruined it for me.

    Super Hans is nothing but a nationalistic troll who is hanging from the genitalia of Kell Brook. Just put him on ignore.

    PBF was moving up in weight, imagine if he was at his prime weight? Also I wouldn't imagine anything based on Oscar's record in big fights he lost more than he won.:deal So why would I think anything different? You have one guy who's undefeated considered the better fighter who already holds one win over him and the other that doesn't you tell me who would win? PBF gave Oscar that work

    Live body? :lol::rofl PBF can only fight the guys in front of him it's not his fault that he's the best fighter of this era hands down. No ATG was in his weightclass during the time he was there with the exception of #48 and he turned down the fight because of testing.:deal Not only that he's as flawed as can be and is just the type of fighter that you said PBF likes to fight one dimensional can't fight at multiple ranges can't make adjustments with no jab.:hi: Wise up man before you come at me because I know what I'm talking about and you don't. You probably picked #48 to beat PBF, what do you know about boxing or how to recognize talent?:lol::rofl
