The intangibles. That is what Kell Brook has over any Welterweight or Jr. Welterweight. Endurance and concentration.
You can't measure someone's endurance over a fight, during training or even during their walk around life. But everytime we see Brook out he looks as fresh as he did in the first round as he does in the last.
Also, what has to be said about Brook is his concentration. He really and truly beat Shawn Porter on having keen concentration from start to finish and didn't let anything during the Porter fight fluster him.
This is the edge Brook has over any Welter or Jr. Welter- not speed, not power, not accuracy as much, and not significantly great boxing skills, which he does have a great deal of the latter more so than most of the guys in the top ten of the Welters. But, it is that concentration and endurance that only comes from training and being prepared- prepared to go 12 rounds if need be, the awareness to stay out of trouble if it goes to twelve rounds, the concentration and understanding to know when to take a chance and when not to.
Brook's calling card- endurance and concentration. You fighters not gifted with aggression or physical attributes can learn from that.
