    Porter is a lot stronger than Bradley, and beating Kell Brook you gotta frustrate him on the inside. Porter was able to do that a little bit, but even he was muscles around by Brook.

    Porter is also a much bigger puncher than Bradley.

    If Bradley tries to box with Kell, that'd be a mistake. Brook is longer and bigger and is a solid textbook boxer. Bradley is a little quicker, but I feel he'd be in range for a left hook or a telephone pole jab whenever he steps in.

    I think Brook beats him on the outside, and beats him up on the inside. But it would be a great fight.
    Porter stronger than Bradley? When have these two fighters fought for you to make that assessment? What mutual fighter have they fought that Bradley looked bullied against?

    Many people get punching power confused with a fighter's strength which determines their ability to clinch. Mayweather doesn't look strong, but he has extreme strength which troubled strong fighters like De La Hoya and Maidana. Why do you think that Mayweather opponents were never able to outmuscles themselves out?

      Where did I say Bradley looked bullied? Just look at the Alexander fight for instance. Porter is a lot stronger physically than Bradley. A lot. Despite Bradley's physique.

      Why are you talking about Mayweather now? I agree he's very strong physically and I don't mix up punching power and physical strength.

I think you are serious since you honestly believe Brook is suppose to beat Bradley and your reasons are pretty.. ******. Who HAS KELL BROOK FOUGHT RECENTLY WITH A JAB? Rios has a better jab than ****ing Shawn Porter, who didn't throw one straight punch that whole 12 rounds with Kell Brook. Bradley throws an excellent jab and he doubles and triples at times to connect sneaky shots and then pivot off to his opponents lead side to keep them turning. Bradley footwork is better than Kell Brook, it's a huge gulf between them in skill.
        Bradley fought a human punching bag last night. You're obviously excited over that and it's cute but there's no need for the anger. You have your opinion, I have mine.

          Alexander was undefeated when he fought Bradley. Big difference mentally there.

            Yeah and he was a champion when Porter fought him at a higher weightclass.

            Guess that made him physically weak.

              Alexander got embarrassed in his hometown by Kotelnik in the fight prior to Bradley.

              A perfect example of how timing can beat speed in fact. Which is what I see happening if Brook fights Bradley.

                Too bad Brook wants to fight Chaves

                  Yeah but you talking as though Bradley wasn't roughing Alexander up and had him leaking.

                  Bradley not only roughed him up but pieced him up with combinations and outboxed him. Many people speculated that Devon Alexander gave up in that fight. Shawn Porter didn't do much better than Bradley at all. So stop trying to insinuate that. Be fair.

                    Kell Brook doesn't have better timing than Bradley, as well as the speed. All he has is size over Bradley and reach. That's not enough. Brook mentally will crack when he face Bradley.

                      You are obviously excited over an unproven prospect that beat an overhyped Shawn Porter for a belt that he is now holding hostage. When's his next fight again?
