Could Kell Brook use his Reach and Size to beat Manny Pacquiao

[hectari]

Kell will probably knock Pac out, that dude is strong as an ox.

He was man handling Shawn Porter in the clinch and Porter is strong, but he couldn't move Kell Brook around, this dude is solid muscle and probably the biggest welterweight in terms of strength and power, he is the Wlad Klitschko of Welters, similar style as Wlad too, hit and clinch, and both got power and use their grabbing to way and tire their opponents down.

UNTIL THE KO? Nah. I had Murray up 3-0 until he got dropped, then GGG won every single round after that.
I also didn't say Bute dominated Froch. He was winning most of the first four rounds until getting caught every time in the last-minute. The 5th he had nothing going on.

OK that's equally crazy. There's no single way you can give those guys any solid rounds in any of these fights in which they were both totally manhandled from start to finish.

A step too far? U talking abt the great Manny PAcquiao here my man. LOL a step too far?? Come on man. Floyd is a top10 ATG and now Brooks is a step too far for another ATG in MAnny? Im not saying Brooks doesnt have chance, cause at this point in Mannys career he sure does, but a step too far?

But I'm not talking about the great Manny Pacquiao. I'm talking about 2015/2016 Manny Pacquiao. He's not the same guy. I said this before the Floyd fight, that just cemented my prior belief.

Floyd is not top 10 ATG.

I'm saying that Manny Pacquiao wouldn't make the wisest decision by stepping into the ring with Kell Brook.

consider brook as king of the 2nd tier welters.
i do not believe he stands a chance against pac.

compare their resumes

Who cares about their resumes when Pacquiao is 36 years old? He's not the guy that fought Oscar or Cotto. That guy is gone and will never return.

How about when you said Margarito hits harder than Trinidad

[aAgger]

Nope. Pac has beaten plenty of opponents with longer reach and bigger size. Kell Brook is too slow and flat-footed to bother Pac.

he is still the guy who mopped the floor with timothy bradley, though. i give brook a good chance and always would have because i think his style is anathema to pacquiao's and he has a significant size advantage to boot, but he's not as adaptable as floyd so i don't think he would be able to replicate a shut-out and he'd probably face some shaky moments

I think Kell has the tools but lacks experience to beat Manny.

Mopped the floor with Bradley? I don't recall that happening. Anyway, Bradley would get it from Brook too. Guaranteed. And he has no firepower to go back with and still tagged Pacquiao a lot.

Brook doesn't need to replicate Mayweather. That's just one way of beating Pacquiao. I'm telling you now, Brook would shoot the jab-left hook against Pacquiao all night and finish him with a right hand and it would be Pacquiao's last fight. He wouldn't get any credit for it though, just as Floyd isn't getting much credit for his win.

Either he's going to be too old or he's just come off an injury or something. Brook would beat him either way. Too big, too strong and too accurate.

[John Locke]

Brook has the style to cause Manny problems for sure. Pac would have a very hard time getting past Kell's jab, especially this past prime, hesitant version of Pac. He's just not the same fighter anymore, I would have to favour Kell at this point.

It's a super fight though, one of the best that can be made at 147.

[Greed.]

I'd favour Pacquiao strongly. Kell is flat footed and stiff and he will have legit problems with Manny's speed and explosiveness. His jab could pose an issue but Manny can counter a jab fairly well, and Brook doesn't have the reach or speed that Floyd does.

[Doctor_Tenma]

You need a very quick touch jab against Pacquiao and you also need to be able to get into position fast enough, all whilst being able to shoot on the fly. Brook just doesn't possess any of that. On top of that Brook's chin is still highly questionable and his conditioning has failed him before. I'd favor Pacquiao in this one.
