Should Khan and Brook Be considered the number 2 and 3 147 pounders today?

[Larry the boss]

Because Kell Brook has announced himself on the world stage. The fight now means something worldwide. Before last night, it only meant something in the UK. Khan might as well have fought Frankie Gavin - it would have had the same significance worldwide.

Khan has said for years that Brook needs to prove himself against a world class fighter. He said on Ringside go fight Maidana or Alexander or Bradley - none of them have belts. It would have had the same impact - the belt is secondary.

no it is for the IBF title..Khan even said it....http://www.boxingscene.com/amir-khan...nothing--81063

So you think if Brook beat someone like Tim Bradley, Khan would say "Oh but you didn't win the IBF belt"

Good lord

Yeah....i.e if he loses to Porter, the fight is meaningless.

Khan was looking at Guerrero or Alexander. They don't have belts. Stop living in a fantasy world. The belt is a bonus more than anything.

What agenda you clown? If Brook went and beat Bradley or Maidana, do you think Khan would say "Well you didn't win the IBF title so no fight"

Answer the question.

Stop ***ing romanticising about belts and ****.

Well it is what it is man..a fight with a title on the line means more then one without it..

Yeah. It would be a title fight no matter who it is. Floyd has titles, so it should be the next best fighter in line.

[lets rumble]

they might be ranked no 2 and no 3 @ 147 in england

Kell isn't #2, Khan isn't anywhere near #3

Personally with that win I got Brook in the 5-6 range , Khan at 10-12.
