    Khan's resume destroys Brook's. Khan dared to be great far more than Brook did. And even when Brook dared to be great against GGG, he only did that after Khan led the way by daring to be great against Canelo.

    Brook was a quality fighter in his prime. Like many British fighters, however, he was overhyped by our friends across the pond.

    He was badly managed.

    An opponent many find difficult to look good against. That was a very good win for Brook and to me brook won the fight clearly.

    I was never a huge fan of Kell’s, but I feel for him because he had a lot of heart.

    He took the GGG fight out of frustration and because he saw it as a great opportunity.

    We all know how that went.

    Then he made an even bigger mistake when he went straight back down for Spence.

    After those 2 fights, he was never the same.

    I think that he was desperately unlucky.

    He fought 2 prime, elite fighters back to back.

    The irony, is that he couldn’t get an opportunity to fight someone like Floyd or Manny as a result of taking those 2 fights, yet they were back to back fights that Manny and Floyd themselves couldn’t or wouldn’t have fought.

    They both had huge hearts.

    Amir got the exposure in his career that Kell didn’t get.

    I don’t think that you can say that Khan dared to be great more.

    He was just afforded more opportunities.

    Kell fought GGG and Spence back to back.

    It doesn’t get any harder than that.

    I’m sure that both Kell and Anir would have fought Manny and Floyd had they have had the opportunity to do so.

    Absolutely. Many had Porter nicking it from Spence. I had Spence win solely for the knockdown. Thurman Porter could have gone either way.

    I've watched Brook Porter recently, and Brook on the other hand won 8 rounds clean and dealt with Porter much more handily and composed than those two.

    People can say what they like about Brook but he was legit good. Such a shame the way his career was managed though

    I believe that Brook Pre GGG actually beats Spence by a clear UD, that fight hurt his career badly and as someone else pointed out he took it out of frustration.
    Remember that as good as Spence is now he was still kind of green when he fought Brook.

    Don't tell Crawford if he retired it would be the same story

    Buster Douglas, Kevin McBride and a few others beat Mike Tyson, but who are we going to say had a better career/legacy?
