About the same. Khan was winning his fight but we all knew he'd get hit and be KOed.
Brook showed some skill in his rounds but he was just fighting an elite fighter.
Khan did fvck all against Canelo. He ran and fired a few weak ass flurries.
He took one straight shot and was KTFO...cold.
At least Brook traded and even backed GGG up, no shame in a stoppage due to a busted eye socket.
Seriously, anyone who believes Khan was 'schooling' Canelo is just dumb as fvck. Canelo was just working his way into timing Khan, the same way DG did.
Finally, BOTH guys lost so it makes no difference whatsoever.
The should fight each other at 154, Brook would put a real beating on old Amir.
How though? Hell brook did the booty dew in the first round. You're acting like canelo isn't a pfp fighter.. Brook woulda got a lot more damage if his corner didn't save him
1) he didn't run
2) he wasn't knocked out
3) he fought a far better fighter
4) Canelo is not p4p
5) He took shots and recovered
... I could go on
2 different performances
Khan got knocked out in 6, but he took far less punishment, he made Canelo look slow. One mistake and it was over.
Brook was done in by 5. He took a serious brutal beating, possibly career ending, nerve damage. He had one round of success, but as much as he was throwing, he was taking shots flush.
Brooks going to need a lot longer than 6 months to come back from that injury and beating.
Both men did good for what they were up against, but in the end both fights were mismatches and cash grabs.
i felt sick at the end of both fights.
Canelo is a start-stop fighter, he doesn't fight consistently. GGG always pressures. Hard to compare the two performances but I would say Brook did better.
Khan won more rounds against Canelo than Brook did against Golovkin, but he got knocked clean out, while Brook was stopped on his feet. Also Brook fought the better opponent, so those have to count for something.
Two different fighters lost to two other different fighters. That's pretty much the only conclusion you can derive from this.Correct.
I genuinely don't see Khan lasting a round with GGG, so it's a pointless comparison.
Brook easily. How is that even a question? :lol1:
On top of that against the fighter Khan's opponent gave his belt up to avoid.

I had Khan actually winning the fight against Canelo up until the KO. However, Brook faced the stiffest challenger in Golovkin while more than holding his own against him until the stoppage.
Moreover, he was the first fighter I've seen to actually momentarily rock Golovkin on occasion and back him up. That had never happen before in GGG's career.
In addition, he was able to bruise and swell Gennady's face while taking his best punches in the process without going down. So I will have to say Brook performed the better of the two after jumping up multiple weight divisions.
Khan clearly won most of his rounds against Canelo and got knocked out with one punch, Brook traded with Golovkin to then get mowed down.
Both of them did fairly well for smaller guys, Khan did better boxing-wise.
Brook easily.
Khan was against a far lesser fighter and a guy who had a somewhat rather favourable style for Khan actually.
Also Khan got flatlined, Brook was still goading GGG and swinging when the towel came in.
Put it this way if we swapped opponents Brook outboxes Canelo and GGG does what Canelo did to Khan in one round.
Tough call bc Khan performed better but Brook had the tougher fight.
I'd go Khan. He lasted longer, won more rounds and took less punishment throughout (last punch aside). Brook had a very solid fight but aside from round 2 I still think he probably lost the rest of the rounds.
