    Based on:

    • Many sports commentators who often say the same thing.


    Maidana & Garcia were both at 140. Their power may carry over to 147 maybe not. Maidana has lost 3 out of 7 fights at the higher weight. Kell's a natural Welter and big for the division. That alone gives him a power advantage IMO.
    What does his ability to manhandle Porter have to do with punching power? He never really hurt Porter and he him him cleanly several times.

    Feedback from old opponents? He hasn't really fought anyone other than Porter.

    And who has he really knocked clean out? He stops people through accumulation. Garcia cleans guys out with a single left hook. Maidana has hurt and stopped people at both weights.

      I said power. KO is only one measure of that but he stacks up well enough.
      • Brook @147: 33 Pro fights. 66% KO. Zero losses. Consistent.
      • Maidana @147: 7 pro fights. 42% KO. 3 losses. Inconsistent.
      • Garcia @147. Zero. Lost to Herrera but still beat Khan.

        Not taking into account that Brook hasn't fought anyone except Porter but your bullet points are cute I guess

          lol how can khan say that when he avoided any kind of high level fighter and still thought he deserved may he tried the it will all be on my terms well brook said ok thats fine i dont think khan was expecting such

            Glad you like them. Easiest way to communicate with the brain-dead.
            • 33 pro fights.
            • Not gifted the same opportunities as some.
            • Being avoided doesn't say anything about quality.
            • Beat everyone put in front of him.

              Being avoided? Oh please....lol. I'm a fan of Kell Brook but he has been anything but avoided. He has turned down some big fights in the past.

              And he's been given plenty of opportunities and through his own ******ity, he's not taken advantage of them.

                      He didn't take fights against Mike Jones, Timothy Bradley and of course pulled out twice against Alexander.

                      Brook has been afforded many opportunities. He's not been "avoided".
