So how does Brook fare against the rest...

Khan - Wins by KO
Thurman - Wins on points
Floyd - Loses on points
Pacquiao - Close, can't call it
Maidana - Wins on points
Marquez - Wins on points
Bradley - Wins on points

 

I think he beats Khan and Maidana. And maybe Bradley.

I think he loses to Mayweather, Pacquiao, Marquez and Thurman.

 

Maidana, Khan Marquez could probably be dispatched on the same night. At the same time.

Bradley would put up a fight but would lose.

Thurman would put up a bit more before also losing.

Pacquaio 50/50.

Floyd won win unless he's 'got old overnight'.

 

Thurman - wins on points
Mayweather - loses on points
Pacquiao - close one 50/50
Khan - Again, I think this is another 50/50
Marquez - wins on points
Maidana - wins on points
Bradley - wins on points

 

I respct thurman, but i honestly think he is untested can HE can take a good shot with a genuine puncher or someone with skill to not allow him to wind up and punch?. If Brook can stay with Thurman by round 6 i would back Brook to win on points. Bradley eluded to the fact is that a puncher like Thurman when he has little to hit with his power shots what else can he do?

I think only Floyd, win clearly. Close with Pacman and Bradley and Thurman. But win agsinst others

 

To write of any of those guys against Brook is disrespectful, he could lose to all of them. All of them good fights and Kell could win some.

 

Hold up there, chaps!! One good performance and Brook beats everyone bar Floyd & Pac??? I haven't seen yesterday's fight yet but did Kel blow Porter away with one hand behind his back? Did he float like a butterfly and sting like a bee? Was Porter Lacy'd?

Like I say, I haven't seen the fight yet. Was he really THAT good to justify the new hype?

 

Typical knee-jerk bull$hit responses for the main part. Suddenly Porter is $hit now then? Ridiculous.
He'd bash up a lot of people at the top of the WW tree I think. Let's not forget Kell is a beast of a WW, Porter simply manhandles a lot of styles other than Kell's. A strong and accurate jab and fast footwork are clearly his kryptonite.

As for Kell, he's got a good chance against ANYONE in the division due to his power and accuracy. Almost everyone gets complacent/loses focus at some point in a fight, then he could land a game-changer.

I personally think a quality counter-puncher would frustrate him and make him run out of ideas but anyone bringing the fight to Brook is in danger IMO.

 

I see the overrating of Brook has begun, Porter drew with Julio Diaz he's hardly Pacquiao.

Amir Khan- Brook wins
JMM- JMM points
Tim Bradley- Bradley points
Keith Thurman- Thurman KO
Marcos Maidana- Maidana KO.

 

Porter beats Maidana, Kell beats Maidana. No doubt about that.

 

I like brook, but most of the top guys would beat him. Thurman would ko him without a doubt. would rather he didn't fight khan as khan has shown him no respect whatsoever the past few years. Cos brooks champ khan's begging for the shot.

 

Khan peppers him with constant pressure breaks his heart and stops him

 

There's no certainty that they beat Maidana.

 

There's not that much hype. He's being favoured over some guys based on styles, attributes and resume. Think about it.

Khan - Get's hit too much. Has no chin
JMM - Is small and old. Struggled with counter-punchers at WW
Maidana - Is slower, lost to Khan and Alexander
Bradley - Similar to Porter
Thurman - In a similar position to Brook pre Porter (underdog due to resume)

Etc, so I think it's understandable and somewhat logical to favour Kell over these guys even though I personally favour Floyd and Pacquiao over him and have him 50/50 with Thurman and Khan.

 

Not really, he was the better fighter in a pretty poor fight, winning rounds on just a couple of good flurries per round. Was not a dominating performance at all.

I hope he doesn't revert to the bum of the month type of defences and faces some of the higher profile names. Brook v JMM would be a good one to see for me.
