I highly doubt he sees ant that in Brooks. Brooks has only beaten fckn Porter, other than that he hasn't faced anyone but tomato cans; just like his recent fight.
    Let him cook. It's all he has left since the 2nd of May.

      the dude with the lisp does not hit harder than Mosley. He ain't that fast either. His style of punching is wide, and his "boxing" mode ain't nowhere near good enough to trouble Floyd.

      the fight would look similar to the canelo fight, with onetime losing every round easily.

        Brook is technically a better fighter than Khan but Floyd would see his punches coming all day. Brook would try to box him, Mayweather takes it 9-3. Brook's a counter puncher but Mayweather doesn't commit.

          Hard to make any case for brook in this fight imo. Would be similar to the canelo fight.

                I think Mayweather will fight Thurman this Fall. Not that he's likely to lose, but if he did lose, I think Floyd would want it to be to a young African American fighter. It would be good for boxing too.

                  Pfffft based on WHAT?

                  One good win against an overhyped Porter and a multitude of bums?

                    His style is just too orthodox and generic for Floyd. Floyd would have a very easy night with Brook in my opinion. That's no disrespect to Brook because i'd give him a shot at beating any other Welterweight and i think he folds Khan like a chair but he just has a style that wouldn't require Floyd to break a sweat.

                      Canelo's hands are faster, foot speed they are about the same. To Brook's credit he has a better jab but as you said, it's hard to imagine it looking any different than that fight.
