    Kell Brooks problem is he's a muscle man. Very strong, likes to wrestle guys, his strength means he can somewhat get away with his arm-punching technique which he uses in conjunction with a random stance he shuffles through willy-nilly, but his strength lies in manhandling guys(got him the win vs professional self-smotherer Porter). outside of that, always been heavy on his feet, no real defense outside of a turning into a philly shell statue and clinching(got him killed vs Spence), decent timing and boxing, like kavaliauskas has and also has that weak stamina, just like Kavaliauskas. Dude is basically Kavaliauskas but got a shot at Shawn Porter and not p4p top 3 Terence Crawford.

    Competitive for a few rd's(Brook probably doesn't even take a rd early, Pacquiao is too sharp and fast, but he'd land his own decent shots), then Brook tires and Pacquiao beats the sht outta him. Prime Pacquiao would be like Spencex2 for Brook, he'd take much more punishment and likely get stoppd earlier.

      Perhaps the right term to describe them.

        Come on now. I like Brook and think he’s been underrated and under-appreciated but prime Pac is a first ballot HOFer and ATG.

        Too quick, too intelligent, too many angles, too much power

          Maybe you missed the CWs along with broken fighters and the blatant ducking of Cotto and Mosley until they were in unwinnable situations.

          But I understand how you follow the hype built for average fans that don't know any better and also the ones that just ignore the real reasons Manny won, the world can sell ice to Eskimos when the masses are as dumb as a dense post.

            You forgot to add the many match-making advantages that Manny had going in, that's the real force behind Manny beating his biggest wins, he could never beat Cotto without a CW he wouldn't even fight him without draining him, twice he wanted to drain Cotto and Cotto told him to go suck a pole the second time around, and Manny ran off.

              Horn bullied Pacquiao all over the ring. Would be a long night for Pacquiao

                Manny couldn't win without a CW which he would have imposed for sure, he put CWs on guys that were a lot smaller than Brook.

                Manny was a protected species because of the popularity and money-making potential that Arum could see, he has the most opponent manipulated resume in history.

                  I think if I forget all the bs that doesn't matter and I look at it stylistically. I think if you were too build a fighter that is just flat-out wrong for Manny I think they likely look a lot like Brook.

                  A huge, athletic pinpoint counter-puncher with great fundamentals. I know Manny was way past his best at that point but I feel the Ugas fight is quite telling how it'd go.

                    I give Brook a much better chance of beating pac than vs Floyd, I think Brook wins a sd in the UK, but loses in the US.

                    Really close fight.
