Let's not cum in our pants because Brook gained a narrow win over someone like Porter let's see Brook beat some live fighters and see what we think then.
He's done very little to prove himself and the IBF route he took was the easiest one possible to get a title.
Khan 4 plus years ago would have most likely been knocked out but Khan under Hunter schools him easily on points.
No One knows yet what effect nearly having your leg carved off will have on Brook both physically but more importantly metally so let's wait and see.

I'm not bashing whether or not Brook can give Khan problems based on the win over porter but on the style, punches he handed and that he wasn't run out of the ring under pressure. Based on the crude shots that have caught and hurt Khan (from Garcia, Prescott, maidana and others) he's there to be had. He's improved mostly under Virgil hill but that last fight against collazo leads me to believe his footwork regressed a bit. He started that kangaroo hop stuff in patches. There's just certain punches Khan never sees because hes too in love with his own offense to worry about them. Its unfortunate that you can teach patience but instinct is a hard thing to change. Brook based on his style and the opportunities he takes advantage of, has a more than decent chance of landing those shots.
I would agree on Brooks comeback from the injury, but brook strikes me as a primadonna so he probably wouldn't be up for a fight at all if he had so much as a paper cut. So I think hes probably fully recovered if hes looking for the fight.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
