Why Kell Brook deserves more respect than Floyd Mayweather

[The Hammer]

Interestingly, Porter dominated Alexander and Alexander defeated Maidana.

They are similar, but Porter is in his prime, while Maidana is a bit faded and shopworn.

I stop reading when this idiot compared Brook to Mayweather.
A prime 1 time champion who just won his first major title vs a 37 yr old 11 time champion who is 47-0 and been a pro for 18 years.......SMFH

Because Brook was a relatively nobody in the United States and was only known by boxing fans in the UK. If he was the highest paid athlete and P4P #1 fighter in the world, you don't think that he would try to dictate all the terms as well? Stop being so naive, dude.

What do you base this on? Because the general opinions that I've seen have indicated that Maidana was fighting better than ever with Garcia.

- 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)

Good points, all valid.

If you respect Floyd you likely are a bit of a scumbag or a wannabe thug.

He's less relentless and becomes fatigued more easily.

I'm sure Brook would be the first one to admit he has a long way to go before he deserves respect even remotely close to Mayweather.

You should take into consideration the harm Mayweather does to the sport. Any sane person who bought last night's PPV will be hesitant to ever buy another. It was disgracefully bad.

His woman-beating is de****able and makes boxers look bad to the public.

Ray Rice gets banned from the NFL for his actions...
Floyd Mayweather gets a bunch of scumbags on forums like this defending his cowardice, its all good hitting a woman who wont hit you back?
What a bunch of complete utter scumbags you are, T.I. would have probably beat the **** out of Floyd if it weren't for Floyds bodyguards little did we know the **** would take basically the same thing into the fight with Maidana to prevent any fight breaking out.. PATHETIC just like the fans who stand by him.
