Re: I think Kell Brook would have taken Mayweather at WW
The consensus opinion on Brook perhaps got a little inflated off the Golovkin fight. Brook came out like a buzzsaw and threw everything but the kitchen sink against a sandbagging Golovkin who never really intended to box brook.. and instead chose to seek and destroy without stepping back.
Brook could have moderate success against floyd early trying to those those fast combinations as mayweathers legs are mostly gone. Think maybe like a neater cleaner victor ortiz attack with the same energy but better faster punches. After a few rounds Mayweather works out brook and starts stifling his attack with jabs to the mid section to keep brook off balance. Brook starts to fade and Mayweather takes over en route to a unanimous decision.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
