    Andre Berto is a better fighter than Kell Brook in all honesty. Definitely has a deeper resume. Brook got ruined by Hearn and we never got to see him fulfil his potential but he’s massively overhyped by fans when looking back. His only decent “win” is Porter and that’s a very questionable win IMO.

    I maintain to this day Brook never beat Porter, a lot of revisionism with that fight as if Brook ripped the belt away from him. He jabbed and grabbed all night and got a favourable decision IMO. Even the Sky commentary team scored that fight to Porter.
    Kell's offense = poor man's made in Britain edition of Floyd's offense

      watch that fight again. Brook sweeped the first 5 rounds against Porter easily.

      not sure if Berto has a better win than that
      He didn’t. I watched it back in lockdown and done an RBR. The thread will be on here somewhere.

        Floyd was a ducker he had the pick of who to fight. To simplify it - all he had to do was fight the toughest available and he rarely did that
