    I dont even like bonehead honestly, i was going switch but i didnt want to pull a CST80 move so i stuck with my pick... but styles makes fights and kell is not a pitbull like porter and Broner actually is the better technician of the two(porter) and kell likes to box, so id say on US soil broner might be able to beat brook... its not out of the question...

    I am kind of blown away you of all people would say that :huh Broner is absolutely not the better technician, he is eminently hittable as many have shown. His handspeed and defensive skills are vastly overrated. His power is negligible above 130 and Kell is far, far stronger and more active than him. If this fight ever happens (it will not because Broner is a fringe top 10 JWW who will lose the next time he steps up again) I would stake my life savings on Kell.

    I think you misunderstood me, broner is a better technician then porter.... porter uses a rushing style, hardly uses the jab and just tries to maul you...Julio diaz exposed Porter in their first fight, and had broner been moe offensive he would have beaten porter... kell brook is more conservitive and tries to outbox you rather then slug it... Thats where broners skills and lack of output might serve him well against brook....imo it would be a good fight:yep

    Gotcha, I definitely misunderstood then. I suppose it's easy to say if Broner had been more aggressive he would have beaten Porter. In reality he had everything in his favor going into the fight and still won only 2 rounds. :conf

    Perhaps Kell's style is a little better suited for Broner than Porter's or Chino's was on paper. But Kell also does almost everything better than those two(not to mention Broner himself), still has a high output and is a very big, strong and athletic WW. I'm positive he would man handle Broner and stop him. We'll never get to see the fight though because while Kell is busy ruling 147 in a post-Floyd world Broner will be trying crack the top 10 at 140 after finally realizing he doesn't have what it takes at 147. :yep

    brook beat porter by a point or 2 hardly a schooling, porter was the aggressor all night and brook fought a smart fight if you count hugging every possible opportunity smart. i would like to see a rematch without all the clinching. i do think brook is a solid fighter and has lots of potential, would like to see him in there against elite fighters.

    One judge had Holyfield beating Lennox in the first fight and another had it a draw, even the one who had it for Lennox has it far too close.

    A bit extreme that. But yes, Brook won clear.

    Wasn't a dominating performance though as the post fight history seems to be be guiding.

    Hatton rates Brook as the best he's fought.

    Brook is a solid fighter that has built himself up the proper way. He has fought many different style fighters and does not have to yo-yo his weight because he is a real natural 147 pound fighter.

    People buy into the name hype too much. Most of these punks could never fighter 5 people let alone 35 and KO over 70% of them. Fighting a grown man is hard work. His rival Amir Khan couldn't K.O. that group of teens he was beefing with.
