    No one grew up saying they were inspired by Kell Brook. Khan has inspired a multitude of fighters. The latest being inspired by Amir is the Irish Michael Conlan who looks like one of the generation's biggest prospects.

    It's a boring fight for you, but it's interesting for many. Khan is a past prime 'journeyman' yet you want him to fight a prime Brook. Rigondeaux is the vastly superior fighter to Brook but isn't getting the big bucks himself. Skills doesn't always pay bills.

    Khan will be remembered for a a lot of things:
    1. His Olympic Silver medal for the British people at just age 17
    2. His exciting fights from his pro debut up until his prime finished (a couple of years ago).
    3. Being a world champion, beating different styles (good fighters)
    4. Having a God awful chin.
    5. A true warrior - having the heart and determination to get up/fight even when his legs have gone. He looked like a lama trying to get up against Prescott, he was doing the shakey leg against Garcia, but he still tried and didn't let defeat crumble him, otherwise we wouldn't have been talking about him in anything after Prescott, let alone Canelo or Pacquiao fights.
    6. Having one of the worst chins of his generation yet still becoming a world champion a few times over.
    7. His charity work
    8. Inspiring Asian countries in sport, putting them on the map.
    9. His skype sessions, he just won't leave Amir Jr alone.

    He is actually one of the most inspirational boxers of this whole era, you'd have to retract your statement because it's just unfair.
