    Jones has improved from the rough start to his career, he's a decent fighter.

    Since sparking Khan, Prescott has been dominated by Kevin Mitchell, lost to Vasquez, lost to a very poor McCloskey and stopped by Alvarado. Neither of them are particularly good.

    I do think some hugely over-rate Khan's boxing ability personally. His speed is the only thing I rate as elite.
    Hahaha, he lost to McCloskey?

    You want me to write you a list of who Jones has lost to? Nah, we've probably never even heard of most of them.

    No doubt he's a decent fighter, but so is Prescott.

    Either way, both have shown weaknesses in their defense but theres no doubt Khan has fought the better opposition.

      I think Brook accuracy is up there, it was on display in the first half yet again.

      Both guys have things to work on, but I think Brook has more overall ability. Both guys have defensive lapses (although I think Brooks is better in general) and both have one real weak point; stamina for Brook and chin for Khan. One of those cna be fixed.

        Brook was exposed tonight, and lucky to come out with a win, but Khan has stamina and durability issues of his own.

          glad people are so fooled by social media, lets see if Khan ever grows a pair and fight Brook

            right, people forget what happened before his nose was broken, the fight would have stayed a shutout

                Until he proves it on a higher level I'm not convinced.
                Also regarding stamina, Brook was pacing him self it wasn't like he was going all out. If he was I don't think he would be able to improve it unless he is too tight at the weight.

                We shall see.

                  Khan has since vastly improved and learned how to roll with shots to take sting off of those big shots. Him working on his legs has also helped him vastly.

                  Brook on the other hand has reached his peak, IMO. He will improve but not by much. Time will tell at the end of the day but I do hope they fight once Khan is at 147lbs.
                  I used to think that, and it's been there in flashes.

                  However, in general I think Freddy Roach is hurting Khan's progress. Khan has a great jab and it should be the key to his game, instead he's being turned into a poor man's Pacquiao. Khan has the tools to be a great fighter, but Freddy seems to be pulling him away from that and making him his next Manny.

                    This I agree with 100%.

                    He has reached his limits with Roach. Manny Steward would be an excellent move for Khan and add to his fight game. Khan still has a lot of potential but he needs to change trainers.

                      Eh? Khan is not a pressure fighter and it seems to me after today they both suffer from weak stamina after 5-6 rounds.
