    For the sake of the argument I'm going to leave Khan on the list too. Who is the top dog in your opinion. For me Brook is massively over rated and will get exposed soon enough.

    Khan looked bad last night but make all of the excuses you want but Brook should have drawn with a guy Dean Bryne beat in my opinion.

    I think Denton Vassell would beat him to be honest.

    I hope Khan does move up because we have a great bunch of fights to be made in the domestic scene of that division and Khan could bring with him the hype it needs.

    Brook gassed vs Jones, we all saw that but dug in n showed heart, if he had an S&C coach against Jones it wouldnt have went past 8, Brook was firmly in control. I like Vassell but hes not at the same level as Brook imo.

    This is all excuses and we've heard it all before with Khan's fans.

    Fact is Brook fought a tough, under rated journeyman/gatekeeper and didn't really win.

    I think domestically we have a good scene at Welter weight at the moment. The best we have had in a long time. In fact British boxing in general is just the best it has ever been in the 10 years or so I have been watching it.

    Excuses ? anyone who watched that fight could see Brook gassed at the end of the first half of the fight, add to that he does his own fitness only an idiot couldnt put 2+2 together.

    Jones made him gas. Brook wasn't really doing any damage in the first half of the fight. The fact is Khan gassed against Maidana too, you can't make excuses.

    Brook at the moment

    Not sure if Khan would be even weaker at welterweight
