    Would either of these tow have been a world champ had they been in their prime at the same time as Ray Leonard or Tommy Hearns? Could they have have won world titles during any part of the `80`s?

    Khan has fought the better fighters by a distance.

    Canelo would mutilate Brook and Brook would not win a round.

    People forget that Brook barely beat Porter. The fight was a MD, razor close, could go the other way. In fact Sky commentary who are generally notoriously biased to sky fighters actually had Porter winning.

    It wasn't some glorious masterclass that Brook fans like to remember.

    Khan has many solid and legitimate wins. Practically all of his losses he was leading before getting caught. The Peterson fight was a robbery tbh, he should have got that one.

    After Porter, Brook has no decent wins!!!

    I feel Brook could take Cnelo`s punches well because he took so much punishment off GGG, Khan is very fragile, the Porter wasn`t impressive but I feel Porter would beat Khan now against Brook he was a diamond in the rough, but up there with most of Khan`s wins, I don`t think Khan`s really beat anyone that good really, Alexander had a punch and Khan looked great against him, but Devon had no savvy, I feel Brook and Khan`s careers are comparable and Khan`s opponents were overrated to a level.

    Neither fighter should be in the classic section unless its regarding excuses.
