    I'm not a fan of either maybe that's why I saw the fights the way I did

      Kell brook fights too methodical, he has his fundamentals down but I think he is a different fighter than he was 10 years ago. Same style but a different more professional approach to executing it. I am not that privy to Brook, I have watched a fight or 2 and also some training footage, but he is 32 and 0 and is called the special one? His 2 biggest fights are against Saschenko and Carson Jones? This I why I give Khan his props to a certain degree because, 1) he dares to be GREAT! 2) he has tremendous self belief 3) he put his career in his own hands... Khan would have never got as good as he's gotten by staying across the pond and fighting the type of fighters Brook has been feasting on and thinking it was enough - There are so many styles to overcome in the States that will get you prepared for any fight. Khan has a weak chin, but he has a tremendous skill set to protect that ***** in his armor - this is why the thinking man in me leans toward porter, he is sparring tougher guys than Kell Brook has fought, and that will be telling.

          You don't know Shit about boxing

          Ps: Brooks is plural. Unless you're referring to more than one Brook?

            IDK if both fights were the same. It's hard to assume others have the wherewithal of a Froch. Some of the sequences they had in the first fight would have others fighters long gone. So, while I don't see the similarities between these sets of fights but I'll be a happy viewer if it turns out to be a fight like Froch-groves I

              He will not be able to run through Brook like nothing.

                As a side note, why do people call Brook 'Brooks'? Irrationally pisses me off, same as when people say 'Eubanks' or 'Abrahams'. If it's trolling then I could understand that, but Richie Woodhall does it as well, and he's too dense to troll.

                And Brook UD12.

                      This is a big step up in competition for Brook and I think he is going to get dominated. I seriously doubt he will be able to deal with the pressure that Porter brings.
