    Brooks is a very good win also, I didn't say it wasn't so I don't understand your point? Unlike you I don't disrespect either fighter, they are both world class but I think Khan is marginally better.

    It's not a case of would he prefer he would be the underdog based on what both have achieved

    Unlike me? I don't hate khan as a person, matter of fact i don't hate anyone in life. I just dislike his personality but appreciate his boxing ability.

    I feel brook is better though purely because people say khan is better cause of speed when arguagbly Kell brook's best attribute is his timing which is speeds Kryptonite.

    Yup. Just like Khan-Maidana.

    Remember those threads?

    Difference is that Brook has far better timing and skills than Maidana

    The way Johnny Nelson has spoken about the Alexander win is way OTT. Anyone would think Khan beat Floyd and Pac in a 3 way dance the way Nelson has talked about it for the last few months.

    It was a good win but it was Devon Alexander. I have always felt that while Khan's speed will give Brook problems early on, after the first few rounds Brook will time Khan.

    Truly believe that Brook will hurt Amir and end up stopping him.

    Also the interview shows Nelson to be way out of touch. Saying that kell should not fight a thurman and instead fight Victor ortiz. I mean seriously, Kell wants the big Fights!

    Victor Ortiz is finished and does nothing for Kell.

    Pacquiao has destroyed the likes of Cotto and Khan gets credit for beating Alexander.

    Don't think it will make a difference who is the underdog.

    Good post. Beating Alexander like that was a good win and a good performance. People are not showing enough respect to guys like him and Bradley imo

    Agreed. Alexander was a decent opponent. Not only did Khan beat him, but he beat him with ease and looked good doing it.

    It's irrelevant if Khan won't fight him.

    So now Khan and broner are calling each other out.

    Khan moves up to 147 to then talk about fighting a 140 fighter.

    Can't be denied but the point is that win alone does not make Khan the #1 challenger for Mayweather like he seems to believe. Khan seems to think beating Alexander has both sides of the Atlantic clamouring for Mayweather to fight Khan.

    For Johnny Nelson to try and claim that win has the rest of the division shook to fight Khan is outrageous.
