    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.
    Floyd has a 3 inch reach advantage. Brook can't hope to outbox him.

      If I were Manny I'd feel some type of way about all these guys specifically calling out Floyd (not the winner of Manny vs Floyd) as if it's already written in stone that he will win in May.

        I totally disagree, regarding the current version of Mayweather.

        I'll roll with Brook over any WW.

            Brook kept his composure very well and timed his counters. He did handled Porter very well but didn't dominate but was a very clear victory. It is a good win none of the less but he needs one more big name.

              Khans has finally stopped talking about Floyd and has come to terms with Floyd never fighting him

              It seems now Brook is doing all the talking about Floyd

                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.
                But why would he talk about Brook? He hasn't done much and if they fight and Floyd wins they will say that he didn't have enough experience or that he was cherry picked.

                Let Brook beat at least one more good fighter in high fashion and then he should be seriously be in on major match ups

                  ^This. I think Brook vs Thurman is perfect and they both seem to want that fight next. Would love to see the winner of that get a crack at Floyd but Floyd's ****** commitment to that September date may fck things up.

                    Bradley made a point and to paraphrase that: Brook is a very good fighter, but very basic, however he is very good with those basic, hence he has gotten this far.

                      Look at the bright side, him pursuing Mayweather pushed him to make the Pacquiao fight, saved boxing and set up an eliminator where the winner fights him........hehe.
