    Floyd beats him in a close(ish) fight.
    Pac absolutely malls him.

    He beats the rest.

    Wow some amount of over-hyping Brook now after that win. Steady on.

    Can't believe the amount of people that think Kell beats Bradley?

    I'm a fan of Brook, but he isn't beating Bradley... no no no. As much as I'd love for him to, mind.

    A lot of people who have never seen Kell fight before Saturday, mainly Americans, are assuming he always fights like that and is boring. Part of the reason people over here are so impressed is he showed a different side to his game, changing styles to beat a a very awkward opponent. When he's allowed to control the pace and box his own way, he will be much more effective. Bradley for example, doesn't have the power to hurt Brook at will so Brook could let his hands go with fast, sharp punches which is why I think he is one of many match ups that are winnable for Brook.

    Porter out muscles Maidana in a shoot out and Kell boxes Maidana's ears off!

    Porter only survived because of his super-natural beard! He soaked up some MASSIVE shots and only really got semi-backed up and staggered: props.:good

    Maidana ain't doin that against Brook, he gets busted up bad and his team would do anything to avoid Kell I'm sure.

    Bear in mind Maidana is coming up in weight as opposed to Porter coming down and Brook being an almost perfect WW. Maidana gets bashed up if he takes on a proper WW young lion of which there are many to choose from right now.

    Porter isn't defensive enough to beat Maidana , he would be outgunned in what would for sure be a shoot out. Brook has the skills to beat Maidana , but Maidana would do a better job vs Brook than Porter did (who was awful, looked clueless), 50/50 fight because Maidana has the pressure, power and aggression that could cause Brook problems.

    You are underrating Maidana, who is a better Boxer than Porter, he isn't as wild as Porter, sets up his shots much better, better jab, way more power than Porter as well. brook UD or Maidana by stoppage.

    Bradley is still very underrated. I think it'd be a pretty close fight though, maybe Bradley's higher work rate edging it.

    We'll see who wants to fight him with proper drug testing.

    In my opinion he only beats Khan, with an outside chance of beating a 40year old JMM and Im a huge Kell fan.

    who has maidana ever schooled? he doesn't have the boxing ability to school anybody he wins by pure aggression and his come forward style

    Meh, I just straight up disagree with most of what you've said. Examples of Maidana's power being much greater than Porters? There are none for me. Porter is the naturally heavier guy, quicker too. How being heavier and quicker means you have less power is your deal, Maidana hardly makes up for it with sound technique!

    We've just seen that pressure, power and aggression can be dealt with by Brook so....I quite reasonably give Maidana fu¢k all chance frankly. You saying it's a 50/50 fight makes no real difference to my assessment. Please though, change my mind, Maidana does pick his shots better I'll give him that. Is that enough for you though..?:think
