    I undertestimated him, but his style is still fucking boring for me. I usually don't get excited with fighters with little to none movement and footwork. For me speed was always more spectacular than timing or power, this is why I hope that some more exciting fighter (for my taste) will take Brook's belt. Nothing personal, just don't like his style. Same goes to Klitschko. I appreciate him and he is a great sportman, but his jab based, static, style is hundred times more boring than Bradley, Ward or Rigo whom I really like but their style is usually called "boring". So my taste it seems like a little bit different than the majority's but that's okay for me.
    You obviously haven't watched any of his other fights, cause that isn't his style, he had to fight like that due to porter swinging like a ******.

      Why not?

      Beating Paulie Malignaggi apparently makes you an indestructible 'mini Mike Tyson' - it's only right that the guy who beats up Mini Tyson get's some love...

        Been a fan since his first us fight in 2011. Had a lot of faith in the special one- peep the betting forum. #allofthelights

His performance over Porter was nice but hardly transcendent. And lets face it, Porter proved himself to be completely one dimensional.

          Brook is nice but I need to see more than just a win over Shawn Porter before I jump on that train. A lot more.
          Exactly this^^^^^^^^^^

            I watched a few fights of him and I never found him that exciting. IMO he never was quick guy. He isn't sloppy but he is way too static for my taste and on his other fights maybe he didn't rely so much to his jab, but I think it could be because he had mediocre opponents whom he could walk down and he didn't have to use it so often. So I appreciate him and nothing personal, but sorry, for me his style is boring so I'm not and probably never will be on his bandwagon.

              Write off a fighter before they prove you wrong, ride them while they are on top, dump into the trash once they lose.

              That's what happened to Porter and will happen to Brook if he loses to Khan or whoever else.

                It was a good win, he surprised me. I'm never getting on the hype train, but I respect his win, and now that I see what he has at the top level I definitely respect him as a fighter, I won't bash him. I hope he beats Khan and fights Floyd next year.
