Right, so here goes !
"Sound bites? Thin air? Keep it real?
For starters I CLEARLY stated the qualifier for Khan's opposition "regardless of the quality or physical state they were in" - hence my statistic fully takes into account that some champions weren't in their prime or great. Secondly - I asked if anyone can give British fighters with better credentials? It's a question, nobody is yet to answer it."
There's the Sound bite! You can't use the World champions he's beat to prove your point and then put "regardless of the quality or physical state they were in"
Brook, who I and everyone else will obviously rate in the top three Brits at worst, has faced 4 "world" champions going 3 wins, 1 loss.
Golovkin - P4P, no.1 middleweight, prime.
Porter - top ranked welter, prime.
Senchenko - former title holder.
Ndou - former title holder, past his pomp.
The point is, even though I believe Brook will smash Khan into a million bits, and currently is better than him P4P, Brook's overall level of opposition is not as deep as Khan's. That's a frigging fact whether you hate Khan or really, really hate him.
Khan in the past six years has faced
Zab - former P4P, two division title holder, undisputed welter champ, past his pomp. WHO DOESN'T BEAT ZAB? ANYONE WHO IS ANYONE BEAT ZAB.UNINSPIRING.
Peterson - two divison titlist, current welterweight titlist . AND LOST
Garcia - two divison titlist, current top welter.AND LOST
Diaz - former titlist. WAY PAST HIS BEST,FIGHTING AT A CAREER HIGH WEIGHT AND STILL GAVE KHAN TROUBLE
Collazo - former titlist. WHO HADNT FOUGHT ANYONE OF NOTE FOR A COUPLE YEARS, NOR SINCE
Alexander - two division titlist. ON THE SLIDE NO LONGER AT THE TOP LEVEL,BULLIED AND RUINED BY PORTER.
Algieri - former titlist. HERE'S THE THIN AIR. SO HE WON A WORLD TITLE, LOOK WHAT MANNY DID TO HIM , ATG OR NOT. AND HE FUCKING STRUGGLED AGAINST HIM.
Canelo - P4P, two division titlist, current lineal middleweight champion. AND WAS BRUTALLY KO'd JUST LIKE EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WOULD.
Right, so that's "what the fuck Khan has done" in the past 6 years. He got knocked out twice by current P4P prime fighters, he lost a disputed decision to a current "world" champion and beat five former "world" champions who were in solid form at the time.
Totally disagree. I've given my reasons above.
Give me 5 P4P Brits and i'll rate the worth of Khan's form against theirs.
Here's the Get real!
p4p isn't about what you've done in the past, if it was Roy Jones Jr. Would still be in the top 10! It's about the here and now, and Khan has done fuck all recently to even be considered. In the past, obviously yes, but in a time where the UK Has double figures World champions, he's nowhere n
((on a side note - Kotelnik was an excellent boxer, he beat Maidana, was robbed twice against M'baye, arguably robbed against Alexander and arguably robbed against Witter. And Algieri getting knocked down 50 times against Pac is utterly irrelevant, Pac's performance has no bearing on Khan's, Pac is an all-time great Khan is not))"
Kotelnik may have been a decent fighter, but he was widely recognised at the time as being the easiest route to a World title.
Ps. Excuse all the red and capitals, I'm not trying to be a smarmy cunt, it's just to differentiate and make it look clearer.![]()
