Secondly - I asked if anyone can give British fighters with better credentials? It's a question, nobody is yet to answer it.
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.
Peterson - two divison titlist, current welterweight titlist.
Garcia - two divison titlist, current top welter.
Diaz - former titlist.
Collazo - former titlist.
Alexander - two division titlist.
Algieri - former titlist.
Canelo - P4P, two division titlist, current lineal middleweight champion.
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.
Give me 5 P4P Brits and i'll rate the worth of Khan's form against theirs.
((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))
