    "He beat Shawn Porter. Shawn is a good fighter (but) look at some of the guys I fought. Look at my list. I have (Danny) Garcia, (Lamont) Peterson, Devon Alexander, (Zab) Judah, Maidana. I fought the top guys. He should be doing the same.

    "Honestly I don't think it will be him in May when I fight (next) but at the end of the year it could happen - but he has to prove himself against some decent "A" class opponents.

    "I'm doing all the hard work and fighting all the big names. Obviously he is cherry picking his fights. I don't want to be the one giving him the opportunity," Khan told ***********.com.

    Does Khan realize losing to Garcia and Peterson IS NOT as good as beating Porter?

    Also he is trying NOT to fight easy opponents and is calling out Khan but Khan rather duck him as he has stated he doesn't want to give him his shot. Brook has the only title at WW that Manny and Mayweather don't have. Khan doesn't have a title if he doesn't see that as value he is completely delusional.

    If Khan ever wonders why people don't like him, well it's **** like this coming out of his mouth that makes it impossible to like him. The level of hypocrisy from Khan here is mind boggling.

    It's ridiculous then he mentions Garcia and Peterson I didn't realize losing fights makes you elite level. :patsch

    Then he mentions Alexander (still a good win but tailor made for Khan) who Porter beat and then lost to Brook.
    He mentions Zab Judah who was shot to sh*t and already had 6 yes SIX losses. It isn't the Judah that Kosta beat.
    Last we got Maidana who is a good win also but has lost his biggest fights except Broner. ( including loss to Alexander)

    Khan wants to fight Algieri an opponent who isn't a heavy hitter at 140 a weight division south......and Khans a big WW.

    Wow Amir... :patsch

    Garcia: KTFO
    PEDerson: Loss (though understandable)
    Judah: l0l
    Maidana: l0l
    Alexander: Porter already tapped that azz

    Porter by the Brook fight was already better than anyone on Khans res and Khan himself

    Winner of Khan-Bradley fights winner of Brook-Thurman

    He's not the sharpest tool in the shed is he Amir

    If he fights Cotto or Thurman you can say 'fair play' he's gone for the bigger things then brook
    But you can't say kell is cherry pickin and then go out and fight another non puncher from the division below in Algeri .. Jus doesn't make sense
    Since the Garcia fight you could argue that Kahn has been cherry pickin his way up the WW division by fightin anyone without proper KO power.... That's why he's been relentlessly chasin Bradley ... Big name but again doesn't posses the hardest of punches

    Theres not one thing that Algeri brings to the table over Kell brook it's as simple as that
    Ex 140 lb champion who didn't even defend his belt vs a current champion in your division who also happens to be a huge domestic rival that could sell out a stadium.... It's ridiculous

    How does anybody gets his point? Khan talks like he's on the same star level as mayweather and pacquiao smh. Khan only had 1 real big win and that was against maidana who almost tko khan in the 10th round and most of that fight is when khan was at his bicycle pop shots and run, pop shots and run. Other fighters khan beat is nothing to brag about i mean beating fighters like the shot decline judah, beating feather fisted past prime paulie and beat alexander (who porter beat)? Khan mention peterson and garcia who both seperate beat khan lol. When i think about it, who are the fighters that khan beat can beat Porter? Maidana has a chance but the rest? lol come on.

    Yea Brooks resume isn't that great but he has a belt at WW alongside May and PAC and he beat Porter to do it. It's the best fight for Khan right now and it's sad he is ducking someone that he keeps insinuating is an inferior fighter. If he is inferior beat him, get his belt, make money, and be done with it.

    Hearn said he heard Khan wants to fight Algieri you know the guy who fights one division south of WW and poses no threat of knocking Khan out... It's like Khan is looking for light punching fighters to keep himself relevant.

    Yeah khan last 2 fights was nothing to brag about at ww beating decline collazo who never was known as a power puncher and then beating alexander who porter beat up before khan did. Khan vs Brooks in wembley stadiam would be the biggest uk fight since maybe lewis vs bruno.
