Comments Thread For: Brook: Mayweather is Getting Old, I'm in My Prime

[mathed]

Khan doesn't do much IMO.....Alexander is a terrible fighter...go watch him struggle to stop Lee Purdy...

Kell beats Floyd, Manny and Khan....

He stops Khan and Manny

I don't know about that. Khan is a punk but there IS a reason why Floyd pretends that he doesn't exist. As far as Brook stopping Manny.......uh, can't agree on that one. I was impressed with his performance against Porter but I can see him getting touched up pretty badly against Pacquiao. That speed and those angles have a way about them, a way that tends to mess opponents up.

When will you people learn...everyone has tried that against Floyd his entire life...IT DOESN'T WORK.....Brook would take the play away from Floyd with his legs....land his Jab and force Floyd to come forward.....it'd be close as **** but he hits harder, is bigger and is just as fast at this stage..... Brook takes it for me

I see your a Manny fan so I won't even say How I think that goes........

*****, if you don't think Thurman would beat the hell out of everyone on Floyd's resume minus Canelo, you're an idiot. Point being, Thurman is a big, mobile, highly skilled, very fast, and powerful WW in his prime. Tell me when Floyd's faced someone like that, EVER.......

And if you bring up Canelo, don't make me laugh. The guy fought like a ******, and was drained. He's a classic Mexican boxer counter puncher. Thurman isn't a classic anything. He's from a different mold like Pacquiao.

Brook is highly skilled, but he doesn't bring the extra ****e that Thurman has to actually beat Floyd. He might win a few rounds with his jab, but that's it.

I know you'll just straight deny this but Porter was coming in just as fast as Manny in recent years with the unpredictable wildness Manny has been lacking....IMO Manny would pose less of a challenge defensively for Brook who like Floyd does better if you punch straight....Maidana would be the guy I see giving Brook problems but even then he has the power Floyd and Broner lacked to dominate Chino.....

I believe in Brook the way guys on here believe in Thurman...except I've believed it for about 5-6 years while they've just jumped on a bandwagon.....I know Kell's style and I think I know his limitations and I don't believe they lie at 147

WOW ....and there you have the nature of the pacquiao fan....two minutes ago styles made fights and now Thurman beats down Floyds opponents at lower weights seems to matter.....and NO......He does not beat Cotto.....He does not beat De La Hoya, He probably doesn't even beat Shane...He has been hurt by lesser fighter than Corley and as memory serves Ortiz beat Berto worse than Ghost did(you know since Triangle Theories count now)

See this is why having a goldfish like memory and a blind hatred for a man you've never met play against you.... Thurman has been hurt in multiple fights.......Not even always by big punchers..... Thurman's win over Ghost means about as much as Porters win over Paulie because anyone with a brain could see that wasn't the Ghost we usually see.....

If I was Brook it would be all about Khan for me.

He can KO him too.

Brook is too measured to beat Mayweather. He could definitely walk Pacquaio onto one though.

[Thickback]

I think Kell Brook is confusing Mayweather with Pacquiao. I defy Kell Brook or anyone else to name one single occasion when Mayweather has chosen to fight an opponent that is coming off of a weak performance or a loss. I swear a lot of people just use Mayweather's name to make a headline on a boxing blog. Maidana gives Broner his first loss and first knockdown but if Brook puts on a good show against Jo Jo Dan he thinks Mayweather will avoid him. That makes absolutely no sense.

My exact thoughts lol. Thanks for saving me from all the typing..

Ezekiel is on point. Brook is young, prime, huge and strong. And Floyd is getting old. There are 2 welterweights Floyd won't even think about atm and brook is one. He'll probably fight Pacman in an unnecessary rematch and then retire. Not that I blame him. Why the hell would I as an old man fight anyone risky when I'm on my way out.

[londoner]

Even though he has the tools to do the job in style tonight, Brook shows the mindset of a guy who is DEFINITELY looking beyond Jo Jo Dan. Not wise to focus on anything except what's right in front of you.

so pac not risky? He just some washed up has been who has brook beat that deserve a mayweather fight porter? The most predictable head first charging guy in sport. How bout khan everytime he step up in competition he takes a lost, Thurman let ghost outwork him in inside and got face busted up he not ready either none of them guys will cause havoc in ww division in another year and half Errol spence going rule supreme
