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

[bcalvert]

I hate to hear young fighters say sheeit like "He's getting old... he's slowing down... now's the time to try to beat him"... Brook and Khan have use the same logic... why not just call Kostya Tszyu or Micky Ward out they're getting old and now would be a good time to beat them too... Kuntz:wank::wank:

Hmm... Well, if you're in your prime then there's not much hope I suppose. This 39-year old, past it, Mayweather, embarrasses you.

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.

Pac isn't risky, but Kell Brook whose best win is Shawn Porter is?

Floyd would have an easy time with Brook.

I'll take Kell, against either of the 'big two'.

Floyd has slowed and always had problems with a good jab, Brook has the best jab at the weight and won't stop using it.

What happens when Floyd counters over the jab?

Floyd has the longer reach, so he can neutralize Brook's jab.

this fool is more delusional than Khan is. . how come none of them wants to fight thurman.

pacquiao and floyd, regardless who wins, will have a rematch just for the money.

khan vs bradley and brook vs thurman. .those the fights that should be made

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

I'd like for this fight to be made. If this fight is a possibility later on this year, I'll shoot you a PM for a bet, I'm taking Manny by UD.

You don't win without scoring; genius. But it would require a person to have played ANY SPORT to know that. So I excuse you. Lol...

Floyd has always had issues with a good jab.

Hes almost 40 and was having difficulty fully timing Maidana. Brooks jab is thudding, accurate and brilliantly timed, it would set a lot of things up. Of course Floyd would counter it sometimes, but that's not going to stop him throwing it. Brook throws the jab without a tell, he's not another predictable plotter.

We're no longer talking about a 30 year old Mayweather; he's slower and easier to hit.
