    Brook-Margarito is a really interesting fight.

    Thurman, though, that's harder to see. He doesn't react especially well to pressure, doesn't like body shots, doesn't have the best stamina, and likely doesn't hit hard enough to deter Margarito enough.

      The welterweights of 2016 won't even get in the ring with a past-prime Pacquaio and refuse, with like two exceptions, to actually fight each other.

            I think the powers there, he'd tee off on him. If he went to the body enough I think he could slow him down.

            Good points though for Margarito.

            Margarito's really slow though so if he could survive the 12 I'd see him taking a decison.

            Laying on the ropes wouldn't be a good idea though.

            Good clash of styles to be honest.

            Brook I think just spoils his way to a decison and he's big enough and strong enough to do so.

              I'd give him a shot too but I don't think Thurman would beat him though. I think Margarito could beat Garcia too. I don't think Garcia's power is enough to stop Margarito and Garcia slows down in the second half of fights as to where Margarito keeps coming on.

              Overall I think the past WW's would beat the current ones. There are too many variations of the match ups to get really into details plus Im too lazy.

                    Im a Khan fan and I could never get excited during his fights cause I was too damn conscious about his chin. So, the whole time I'm more worried about him getting caught than actually winning the fight.

                    I finally had time to get excited after the fight was over... if we won that is.

                      The Brook fight makes so much sense now.

                      Both fought MW's and got KTFO in 5/6 so fook it m8, do it at the 02
