    Why Kell Brook deserves more respect than Floyd Mayweather

    - When Kell Brook won the title from Shawn Porter, he didn't have a crooked ref protecting him and allowing him to clamp his opponent's arm

    - Brook didn't demand Porter wear gloves with extra padding

    - Brook was fighting IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY in his opponent's home country, something Floyd has NEVER had the courage to do

    - Brook never pretended to be bitten when he wanted a rest or time to recover

    - Brook never pretended to be pushed down to get the ref to deduct a point

    - Brook doesn't beat up women (as far as I know)

    Brook held just as much as Mayweather did.

      atleast the ref left them in the clinch for awhile till he saw nothing could be done from it

      brook had to really clamp down and porter got some shots in(although ineffective)

      if maidana was given atleast a similar amount of time in the clinch that he could wrestle an arm out or use the free arm, but nope, kenny on that payroll as they say

        He didn't clamp Porter's arm the way Floyd did, and didn't behave like he knew the ref would let him get away with holding. Because unlike Floyd, he didn't have a crooked ref who ignored it.


        Why can't you be objective when it comes to Floyd? You support him unconditionally. No matter what he does you have nothing but praise for him.

          Dude, calling the Best\most respected Ref in the game crooked is beyond ****** and woefully ignorant .... However considering the source of this infraction, it kinda fits the M.O. here ....

            He did clamp his arm many times.

            How do you know the ref wasn't crooked in the Brook fight?

            Last paragraph is once again not true.

              you're right

              there is a difference between clinching and illegal holding,

              what floyd did was illegal holding and wasn't warned once about it

              but lets move on freedom, it was a boring fight, i saw no inside fighting and it was pretty boring to see bayless break them up whenever they got close

              i understand you're pissed off freedom but onto bhop kova , and pac algeiri

                -Brook didn't have a crooked ref, he just had an incompetent ref that allowed him to clamp his opponent's arm. MAD RESPECT

                -Why would anyone want to fight Floyd outside of the US where the both fighters would get paid the most?

                  Man that Porter-Brook was tense man... I was pretty down by the 7th-8th because I knew Brook was surely starting to edge out his victory in America.
