Brook was rated top dog at welterweight by The Ring, all the big media outlets, ESPN/HBO/Showtime, he was ranked behind Brook by everyone.

He answered all Khan's questions - won a title, made a name in America, headlined a big PPV event (several), the fight was a guaranteed stadium job yet Khan still ducked him. Even now he's saying Brook needs to come back to 147, didn't Khan face Canelo at "middleweight?"

Does he need Brook? No. Did he shamelessly duck him? Yes.

Losses often override wins in the history books.
