Stop hyping up Brook,he barely beat porter.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

He still has a lot to prove and seems to be NSB's new darling.

That will all change with a poor performance or a loss. He'll then go to being overrated, protected etc etc. You know the same old crap.

@ "NSB darling".

Calm down, he's not Golovkin or Matthysse.

Like I said, it's more than Khan is NSB's most disliked boxer at the moment and people want to see Brook get the fight with Mayweather over him. It's not that people are hyping Kell.

Ive never seen a boxer on here so over-hyped for doing so little. I like Brook, but he still has to prove himself consistently

They are giving this guy fantasy wins and making excuses to why he shudnt have to fight such and such

The way some people talk on here, u'd think Shawn Porter was Marvin Hagler

lol thats how people here are feeling about ggg maybe even worse

lol thats how people here are feeling about ggg maybe even worse

Thats exactly the treatment GGG gets here.. I thought thats who he was talking about lol

[NearHypnos]

I think he's getting a lot of hype but I also think he's got skills and is one of the better 147 guys. The thing that bugs me about him is that he gives off that vibe like he could do more in his fights. Like, I just see him in vs some of these guys and even if he's fully in control I can't help but feel that if he turned it on he could really give us something to be excited lver. He has some pop, the skills, and doesn't seem to be plagued by Amir syndrome (the "chin")...but I guess he lacks that fire or maybe no one has brought it out of him?

I like him though. I might not think he's THE best at 147 as clearly thats Floyd but of the younger guys he's up there. If he isn't the best I think the man who beats him will probably be a top 3 guy or better. He's not likely to lose to a fringe contender... He'll determine the best. Unless he really has it in him vs top guys but I thought he was clearly better than Porter...and Porter was looking like one of the studs in the division and some of the guys here were calling for Porter vs Floyd and Thurman and calling him a mix of Shane and/or Tyson (I also thought he seemed that way til he was put in his place). I give him his props for that win but his other fights have been lackluster

Barely beat Porter where did this come from? Can anybody even remind me of one good clean shot Porter landed all night?

[mlac]

lol, so pathetic, im not even a brook fan.

i remember the poll before the fight, literally everyone bar 3 people + me were saying porter would KO brook.

i may be wrong as i dont remember the fight well, but wasnt porter hurt pretty bad several times ?

He wasnt hurt, he was just neutralized, he tried bull rushing but Brook was able to use his strength to nullify that tactic. It took Porter out of his fight because hes used to being the stronger guy in every fight hes in.

Stop hyping Brook, he barely beat porter and people saying he beats Pacqauio (LOL) and deserve a fight against floyd .

Look at his last 5 opponents :

- Frankie Gavin

- Ionut Dan Ion

- Shawn Porter

- Alvaro Robles

- Vyacheslav Senchenko

I dont thinks so he has something special that will make him an elite level boxer in future. I think he will be nobody in near future.

Dominated Gavin, Ion, Robles, and Senchenko, not losing a single round against the four and stopping all well within the distance. To that you can add that he decisively outboxed Porter (personally scored it 8-4, Brook).

Not sure why you're salty about it, but whatever.

Yeah, Brook fights guys hes supposed to be beat, but theres something to be said about execution, you still have to execute your game plan and he decisively defeats those opponents whereas Khan routinely has trouble against the fighters he should easily have beaten, thats poor execution.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

People are talking about him beating Pac, about being a good option for Mayweathers last fight etc. They've literally gone from saying he's an overhyped protected UK fighter to bring in the ring with May and Pac.

It's classic NSB. Their is no middle ground, it's either side of pendulum or nothing.

That's because Mayweather's options seem to be Khan or Brook and the overwhelming majority want him to pick Brook just to stick it to Khan.
