Who fought the superior level of opposition in their last two fights :
Amir Khan fought Chris Algieri and Devon Alexander
Kell Brook fought Frankie Gavin and Ionut Dan Ion
Khan has fought better people by a mile - Aligieri and Devon are levels better than Gavin and JJD. Both Khan's guys are former champions and Devon is a excellent fighter. Some people dislike Khan as he is Muslim and they wrongly assume Middle Eastern. That is the sad, sad truth.
couldnt agree more ... then again most khan haters seem to be internet bound, he gets loved by the fight fans on fight nights. he had more american fans in new york than algieri lool
damn how you can say brooks win over porter is better then anyone in khans career is a joke.
Brooks only opponent that was good was porter i didnt expect him to win that fight but he did props to him. But hes resume isnt better then khans.
Better than Khan beating maidana? better than Khan knocking Judah out to unify the division? better than Khan not giving a single round up to Devon Alexander? Kell Brook winning a MD over porter who drew with Julio Diaz, is bigger than those wins? Yeah ok..:thinking:
Better than any of the others bar Maidana. That's only down to the fact that he's had a "good" run recently.
Edit - I'm referring to the instances you mentioned explicitly
Brook's win over Porter is still better than anything Khan has done for 5 years, if not ever.

Khan has fighters on his resume with more pedigree than Porter.
Kotelnik
Malignaggi
Judah
Maidana
Collazo
Alexander
Algieri
That is some going by anyone standards, and a good argument could be made that he edged out Peterson as well. I would say the wins over Maidana and Devon are better than the Porter win. Even though Devon lost to Porter himself, Devon has accomplished more in the sport and has a better resume at welterweight than Porter, plus their fight was close. I would actually have Devon vs Brook as a 50/50 fight, styles make fights and Devon hasn't lost any of his speed or skills.
Brook fought a great fight against Porter, but I think the longer he spends at world level he will start to get exposed as being a good fighter, not a great one. I see him having big problems if the Rios fights gets made, I think its a good step up for Brook though and overdue.

Same Porter who got a draw with Julio Diaz first time they fought? Most people thought Diaz won. Porter needed 2 fights to figure him out and beat him.
Khan needed one fight to beat Diaz. Got criticized by usual trolls for not breezing through Diaz easy when Shawn Porter couldn't even beat him the first time around.
Porter is overrated, he's good but not that good.
