    Brix khan hasn't fought a proper welter yet. You're starting to sound completely bias, I recognise kell hasn't done a lot apart from beating porter but you're making khan out to be this guy who has beat a who's who of greats. Khan has 2 decent wins, maidana and Malignaggi. Judah was shot, Barrera was shot, kotelnik went on to get beaten by Alexander. Algieri is average and not much better than senchenko, gave khan a tough fight. Then throw in the brutal knockouts against Garcia and Prescott, plus the loss to Peterson. Doesn't look too great on paper does it.

    I know you'll come back with a load of stuff about kell fighting nobodies, I already know that, he has 1 decent win, porter. He has 1 less decent win than khan. Pretty even playing field at this point in their respective careers if you ask me.

    The loss to Lamont should be a N/C. You know that.

    If he has one less decent win than Khan, how is it even? Kell's career REVOLVES around Porter.

    If Porter gets bingo'd in his next fight, how good does that won look then?

    Besides, Khan's list of wins is MUCH better than Kell's.

    Let's face it: Khan will never win over the Kell-Brigade on here.

    He could beat Bradley, Porter, Thurman, Chaves and it'd still be "But Kell..."

    I'm saying it's even at this point in their careers due to circumstance, khan has 2 decent wins but they were years ago and he's been KO'd since then and looked average from that point on. Kell has recently beat a good fighter, so at this point in time I'd put them on an even playing field in terms of where they currently are in their careers.

    Yeah porter may go on to get bingo'd at some point, or he may go on to get beaten by someone like aron Martinez, like khans last win, and then the win over him can be reevaluated. But for now porter is looking like a good win, khans last decent wins were almost 5 years ago.

    They both have a lot to prove, but don't believe I wouldnt give khan huge credit if he beat that list of fighters you mentioned.

    He is too intimidated by muscled welterweights to even get in the ring with them, never mind beat them :yep

    it's good that these muppet Khan fanboystanis like Death Eater have suddenly vanished since the white Mexican nearly killed him in embarassing fashion.

    Point being he wouldn't win those fights.

    There is only one hype job and thats Khan. Just look at the ridiculous talking about Khan v Mayweather. Amir Khan had not done anything in his career to suggest he would have a chance v Floyd yet somehow because he has fast hands that alone would mean Floyd would be in trouble lol.

    Khan has never avenged a defeat, since losing to Garcia has deliberately avoided punchers and hasn't beaten anyone worthy at 147lbs yet amazingly Khan and his minions think his entitled to mix it with the best.

    Reading this post from the start...does make you wonder when kell brook suddenly became the unbeatable force hes now became at welterweight in a lot of peoples eyes.

    Even after porter he was heavily criticised. Then not long before he fought golovkin i swear it was down to hearn telling us he was the best welterweight in the world 100 times. Prior to golovkin he got elevated for not actually doing anything.

    I rate kell highly but he still does need to prove himself before we can say with the 100 percent certainly we see from some on the board that he d beat khan easily. I d favour him...but probably about a 55/45 margin at best.

    He did actually struggle with carson jones who was a good bit below some of the guys khan beat. He did get hurt by senchenko who again is a good bit below guys like even algeri. Even though hes heavily critisised a bit unfairly on here. Plus kell got stopped in 5 by golovkin.

    We know khans faced problems but its not like brook hasnt at maybe a slightly lower level.

    That's exactly why his corner pulled him out on his feet. Made his rep go way up. Even today on Twitter I see people saying he gave GGG "everything he could handle" and had him rocked...which is total bs. He won the 2nd round when GGG went swinging for him then basically got beat up

    Bud, Porter isn't even a legit WW. He should go down to LWW, he'd tear it up down there.
