Amir Khan has never beaten a legit world class fighter in their prime

Khans CV class above kells for a start his wins over Alexzander/Kotelnik/Algeri/Maidana are all quality wins.

Hes not ducking brook. Thats a fight that will be there IF he loses to canelo but if he wins he may get superfights vs Floyd/Manny/Garcia/Thurman etc. Hed still be on same money with brook with a loss and a win he could demand 10m£ easy.

Kell only fought porter and rather than chasing Khan he could go and fight Winner of Thurman/Garcia and get a 50/50split if he wins. Hearn wont put him in with anyone as to risk the Khan Fight. Like Khan did with FM

 

Honestly I think Brook is a very good fighter with the potential to become better. People rave about his win over Porter but I honestly do not rate Porter particularly highly at all. All he did was rush in with his head down and Brook picked him off. You could argue Khan would have beaten him in a more impressive fashion. I certainly think he would have done.

Khan has a very good resume. People have different interpretations of what prime is anyway. Maidana was certainly in his prime when Khan fought him IMO. I look at what fighters have done in the most recent past to judge the quality of the victory. Maidana had been knocking everyone out for fun leading up to that fight. People assumed Khan would never get in with a power puncher. Khan is not afraid of power punchers. He certainly is not afraid of Kell Brooks power.

Eddie Hearn is not going to get Brook a big fight. I watched an interview with him yesterday regarding Joshua and he openly stated that if Joshua wins the IBF title he wants all his defences to be domestic. Kell needs to break away from Hearn because he is wasting his prime fighting nobodies.

Would Brook beat Algeiri/Alexander/Collazo etc more impressively than Khan? I personally do not think so.
