Why Kell Brook deserves more respect than Floyd Mayweather

Great thread, thanks for that.

Shawn Porter is a better win than Marcos Maidana.

Porter was undefeated and he's never been knocked down.

Maidana is shopworn and has lost to ordinary boxers like Kotelnik and Alexander.

Floyd won that fight vs. Maidana, the second time around, based on sheer ring intelligence.

Floyd's skills have diminished. He ran for most of the fight, and tied up Maidana when he needed a rest or when he was hurt or when he knew impending punches were coming.

Floyd used his brain last night more than his brawn. Maidana used little of his brawn, and not enough of his brain if he had it.

This fight was Floyd doing everything else other than fighting to win. Reminded me of when Ali used to win rounds without throwing a single punch.

Interestingly, Porter dominated Alexander and Alexander defeated Maidana.

They are similar, but Porter is in his prime, while Maidana is a bit faded and shopworn.
