    It was easy because it was Khan, lol. I hope Kell knows he has no business fighting for a world title or something like that. he has just one or two fights left, at 149-150 catchweight.

      You're massively overrating Brook. Whilst he's definitely a better fighter than Khan and held his own better against top fighters like Porter, Spence & Crawford, he was never top 10 p4p material regardless of his fight choices just like Khan. Golovkin smashed him from pillar to post in a one sided beatdown and Spence was a hungry killer back then so would've found a way to take him out regardless of the Golovkin fight. Also, whilst he put up a competitive performance against Crawford for the first couple of rounds, as soon as Bud adjusted and turned southpaw (something only elite fighters are capable of doing) the fight was over.

      Brook is a Porter level fighter, a world class fighter who will always fall short at the final hurdle because he's not an elite talent.
      You are giving to much credit to Crawford and Spence.

      GGG destroyed brook for them. Brook made some terrible career choices, I doubt Spence would have beaten Brook without GGG fight.

        That's the only objective definition.
        EXACTLY. Winning a world title in any sport means you're ability is world level aka world class. Winning two world titles and beating multiple world champions e.g. Maidana, Judah, Barrera, Malignaggi, Alexander etc many of whom have won multiple world championships themselves only further emphasizes the point.

        I don't particularly like Khan but can appreciate that he was a world class fighter during his best years born with lightning fast hands and great heart and toughness. However, he was NEVER anywhere as good as he believed in his head and certainly never top 10 p4p material.

          Exactly. Khan and Brook were both world-class fighters, and both fought a number of other world-class fighters (Brook fought several, while Khan fought a dozen). That doesn't necessarily mean either of them were ever top 10 P4P. You don't have to be top 10 P4P to be world-class.

          If Khan had tougher punch resistance, he would've almost certainly been top 10 P4P. But with his weak punch resistance, that was always going to be an obstacle.

            Did I miss something on the ring walks but old buffer boy announced Brook “coming to the ring the special one etc” and on khans ring walk through the car park ironically squeezing through his lift out of the MEN (the ambulance) stood on the podium thing and buffer didn’t do a “coming to the ring ahmir Quim Khan” or was I to busy opening my vodka bottle and missed it,but I’m sure Buffer didn’t announce him until he was in the ring.
