Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Kell Brook in 2014.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

You can't be serious. Oscar ducked prime Miguel Angel Gonzalez at lightweight, and Frankie Randall at 140.

Winky Wright as well. Well. Wright turned down the fight, but Floyd ducked the welterweight division.

I've heard someone say that Floyd has never been down by 6 rounds in a fight, and needed a KO to win. I've even heard someone say that Floyd was never in a fight where he was the underdog.

Floyd might be the only fighter I've ever seen who gets criticized for being too good at boxing.

...or how about being criticized for not fighting stiff enough comp...why can't it be just that

...I heard Floyd, talk big smack about how ggg was straight up and down with no special effects, but when ggg called him out, he was retired....

....i pulled up an article that showed kell brook actually called out floyd when he was the ibf champ undefeated 36-0, and the floyd boys still came to his rescue with a boatload of excuses that were downright laughable....its no wonder that boxing is in the toilet right now.

You’re such a f@g that you can’t even admit it’s Maidana because then you’d have to admit Floyd fought the better boxer, which is just what you said he needed to do.

F-ck off and stop being a slimy f@ggot. It’s one thing to hate Floyd. It’s another to just behave like you do. Geez.

Now about the other question- Didn’t Floyd fight everyone you said he needed to in the post you deleted?

I'll take your word for it that maidana was higher in the ratings solely on the basis of beating broner? But Floyd and everyone knew brook is a better boxer than maidana and tougher fight.
But Floyd should be fought brook after maidana fights. If not brook then thurman, spence also.
You need to fight the toughest available if your considered the best and want to retain the best reputation and your retiring after 48 fights

Brook's resume is terrible. Porter and an old Khan are his best wins.

Floyd wouldn't get any credit if he beat Brook.

Floyd would get credit. Brook was a bit avoided so he had to fight ggg.
Nelos resume weren't too good also and it was a good win according to Floyd fans

Don’t take my word you ****** little maggot **** smoker, check yourself. As usual you exposed your lack of knowledge about the sport.

In 2014, Brook, Thurman and Spence weren’t the best WW’s. Maidana and Manny were ranked higher and Floyd beat them both.

In 2014 and 2015 Manny was the #2 p4p boxer and ww in the world and Floyd fought him. He fought Maidana ranked higher than the guys you listed. He fought Berto after Manny. How can anyone reasonable or rational complain about that?

Berto was just as easy for Floyd as Manny was. He was also just as easy for Floyd as Bradley, Jessie Vargas and Joe Horn who Manny fought after he lost to Floyd should’ve been but Manny just wasn’t good enough to dominate that level of comp.

[The Big Dunn]

All these guys you say Floyd would supposedly dominate, he had a chance to fight in their primes. They were all welterweights from the same era. Everybody from Brook, to Khan to Margarito, Bradley, Winky Wright (154), Thurman, Paul Williams, but for some reason he managed to avoid all these guys but he sure will dominate them in fantasy fights.

Note that Manny ducked Brook, khan, Williams and winky as well. He fought Margs at a 151 cw, took part in a rigged trilogy with Bradley ( who ducked Floyd) and fought Thurman only after he was hurt and barely beat Josesito Lopez.

Manny was quick to fight Joe Horn doe.

This is getting rudiculous now.

Floyd Baldomirs Brook

[Babadoux]

Maybe but Floyd can't duck these guys if he wants credibility resume wise. If Floyd beat brook, Spence and bud historically they might not even be ATG wins, Floyd leaves that someone else to judge so you got to fight them at very least

Duck these guys? I'm only talking about Brook, and Floyd vs Brook was never a big fight to make. I agree Floyd shouldn't get credit for fights that didn't happen, but Mayweather vs Brook was never a fight in high demand. I'm just answering the thread question. It's true all the young welterweight champions wanted a crack at Floyd back in the day, but those are not ducks, especially when Floyd was just a part time fighter.

I don't understand why you're bringing up Spence and Bud, these were never fights that needed to be made. Sure they techbically could've happened, but these fighters are from different generations. The thread starter had a simple question regarding a hypothetical match up and I answered with my opinion. I'm not saying Floyd gets credit for beating Brooks, Floyd doesn't need Kell Brook on his resume he has much better credentials than what a win over Brook would give him (no disrespect to Kell).
