    That wasn't Khan's choice, that was Frank's doing, the vile specimen that he is.

    Kotelnik, Maidana and Peterson are superior to anyone that Kell Brook has fought

    Khans fights in America have been better up to now .Maidana Malignaggi Judah Peterson .Brook should fight a big American WW .Don't really like the big domestic fights compared to Vegas and MSG .

    Why are people even trying to compare their résumé. It's ridiculously one sided.

    A few people were from what I can remember, I wasn't sure I must admit but I think that was more me hoping Barrera had one more great performance in him.

    The Senchenko Malignaggi winner would be good for Brook

    It's not unreasonable for Khan to say that Brook needs to prove himself at world level first. Just because Brook is British and has been calling Khan out doesn't mean anything. They're not even in the same weight class ffs! something a lot of people seem to be forgetting. Why doesn't Brook go beat someone like Ortiz or Berto, and when Khan steps up a division a fight could be made between them.

    Which is one of the reasons i find it surprising many people are so confident of Brook>Khan.

    Yeah, he looks talented and has potential, but really until we see him fight someone who will push his limits a little, how do we know how good he is?

    I think its a bit of a disservice to Khan to be honest, who is fighting at a decent level these days.

    You've got him bang to rights robbie - the hippocratic chicken!

    Maybe he'll get his mate to tweet he's been dropped in sparring.

    :good

    He lost to Peterson and Madaina had him on ***** street. Kell's a weight division above these guys and would be too strong for them.
    Ndou, Jackiewicz and Ndou are much stronger opposition than Limond, Gomez and Prescott who have all troubled Khan.

    Khan denotes himself as being the first British pound for pound number but till he gets in the ring with anyone who we all can clearly say that was a risk then Khan is the same as most fighters. He has had maybe two fights where you could say half decent. After he fights Peterson again he needs a big fight but will he? not sure

    So now being rocked by someone is used as evidence that it was not a good win somehow? Well Brook was dropped by Karl David which is far worse than being rocked by Maidana.

    And in bold you mentioned Ndou twice. And no Ndou at the stage of his career that Brook fought him is not better than Limond. Also it is a pointless comparison. Khan fought Limond in his 13th pro fight, 2 years into the pro game. Gomez in his 18th fight and 3rd year in and Prescott in his 19th fight.

    Ndou was Brooks 24th pro fight and in his 7th year as a professional. Ndou was 40 years old and in his previous 8 outings had won 3, lost 4 and drawn 1. Jackiewicz was Brooks 25th pro fight.

    In comparison Khans 24th and 25th opponents were Malignaggi and Maidana. He fought Kotelnik in his 22nd fight.

    Brook's progress has been probably the most painfully slow of any talented fighter in living memory. Not in terms of the number of fights it has taken but in terms of the time. He has been a pro for nearly 8 years and has yet to fight for even a European title, it is ridiculous.

    That said he is looking better and better and although I've yet to see the Hatton fight properly, the highlights looked promising.
