    Better 12 Round Performance: Degale-Dirrell, Floyd-Pac, Khan-Alexander, Brook-Porter?

    Which of these fights did the winner put on the better performance.

    Taking into consideration the opposition they were facing too and the extent to which the winner outperformed their opposition. .

    James Degale beating Andre Dirrell
    Amir Khan beating Devon Alexander
    Floyd Mayweather beating Manny Pacquiao
    Kell Brook beating Shawn Porter

    When taking opposition quality into account I'd go with;

    Floyd Mayweather beating Manny Pacquiao
    Kell Brook beating Shawn Porter
    James Degale beating Andre Dirrell
    Amir Khan beating Devon Alexander

    In that order.

      Would probably go with Brook-Porter. Brook was a big underdog and Porter was coming in with massive confidence. Brook made him look like a flailing bum at times.

      DeGale-Dirrell was a true 50-50 fight between two supremely talented guys. So that's a close second cos DeGale won that fight in 2nd gear basically.

      I always expected Mayweather do win that type of fight against Pacquiao. Will never know how much the injury affected Pacquiao or how past his best he was.

      Always expected Khan to whitewash Alexander who had already been beaten by Porter.

        I voted for Khan's performance and I really dislike the big mouth bragger. Khan fought very well that night. Mayweather didn't fight as good as I have seen him fight and was lucky to fight a sub par Pacquiao. Don't get me wrong. I think Mayweather would easily beat Khan. But Khan's performance against Alexander was the best performance of the fights listed in my opinion.

          Brook vs Porter was impressive. Brook finally beat someone really good and looked awesome doing so.

            In terms of actual performance, you'd be kidding yourself if you say anything other than Khan-Alexander. Khan won every single round, for the basis of this question you need to eliminate who's fighting to eradicate any bias and base your decision purely on each particular performance. Mayweather's performance was good but he did take off a few rounds. I had Degale winning 114-112 but he gave up literally every middle round till the 11th and 12th and Kell Brook's performance was great as Porter is a very rugged fighter however it was a relatively close fight.

            In conclusion, Khan's victory was the most emphatic and therefore the "best" per say but in terms of the opposition, Mayweather by far.

              Wow the ones picking Floyd beating Pacquiao as the best performance, that was Floyds worst performance in his career he actually missed the most punches of his career in that fight.

              I have to go with the Khan vs Alexander fight it was the most impressive performance of the bunch, the worst was the Floyd vs Pacquiao fight both guys were tentative and not much punches landed or thrown, and the significant power shots were landed by Pac.

              Brook Porter was also impressive.

                Khan-Alexander and May-Pac head-by-head but since Pac >>>>> Alexander I give this to Money May.

                  Idk how someone could vote for Brook-Porter though...
                  It was an ugly and close fight with nothing to remember for. It wasn't that convincing. I mean neither of them was that good on that night.

                    Because it said to take into consideration a few things.

                    Khan-Alexander was clearly the most dominant performance but where is Alexander in his career?
