Who would enhance Mayweather's legacy most? Khan or Brook?

Floyd beats both comfortably

Senchenko held a world title.

Not that it even matters.

More **** measuring competitions by Khantards instead of actually settling it in the ring.

This thread is about what they would do for Mayweather's legacy, not about who wins between Brook and Khan. Brook's resume isn't good enough to even scratch the surface of Khan's resume. Wishful thinking Brooktards would have to be incredibly dumb to think Brook would do anything for Floyd's career. The only thing he has to offer is a belt, which Floyd doesn't want since he's vacating his belts anyway.

neither does much to enhance his legacy. there really isn't much on the line unless brook ends up bhop of the welterweight division later in his career.

brook is is percieved as the better out of the two right now, and khan pretty much hit his peak its all down hill for him meanwhile brook can go on and do major things in boxing in the future.

Making comparisons.

If Brook and Mayweather had a common opponent you'd be doing exactly that considering how much of a Brook bum boy you've become over the last few months. Too bad Mayweather is not fighting Senchenko, Robles or Carson Jones of the World.

Making comparions to a fight that happened 5 years ago? That's reaching beyond the extreme.

Instead of fighting Brook's leftovers' leftovers, maybe Khan should focus on fighting a live dog like Porter and see where he really stands compared to Brook.

But he doesn't want to do that does he?

He literally mentioned 5-6 names yesterday from the WW division he could fight - but didn't mention Brook. How pathetic and girly-like is that?

I used to be a Khan fan, but I'm not anymore. This pathetic womanly behaviour from Khan has turned me for sure.

That's a big jump for one victory.

Did Henry Armstrong make that jump

I don't see how doing what Prescott, Peterson and Garcia already did is more legacy enhancing than beating Brook who looks like the considerably better fighter. On top of that Khan is done and people struggle to see that.

Styles make fights. The difference is that Mayweather can't do what Prescott, Peterson or Garcia did to Khan. At 38, he no longer has the power or workrate needed to pressure and walk down Khan and go for the KO. Floyd would instead have to actually outbox Khan in a high-speed technical chess match, something no one has ever done to Khan before. That's why most professional boxing experts agree that Khan would stylistically be the most challenging fight for Floyd at 147.

It doesn't matter who "looks" like the better fighter. What counts is who has the better resume. Both have been in the game for just as long, and had just as many fights, yet Brook has only beaten 3 world champions in 1 weight class, whereas Khan has beaten 9 world champions in 3 weight classes. And before both went professional, Khan was the far superior amateur boxer, winning Olympic silver at 17 and beating amateur legend Mario Kindelan at 18 (more than what even Floyd could do in his amateur career). Khan would look good on Floyd's resume, whereas Brook would look pretty bad on his resume.

On so many levels no, it doesn't matter that Khan has the better resume, the fact of the matter is...he hasn't done anything noteworthy since getting taken out by Garcia. It's been careful matchmaking since and even then, that has failed miserably because he has continued to show that he isn't an elite fighter, if anything I've seen a lesser fighter since losing to Garcia. So it isn't always resume, when also matters and at this point in time, Brook is clearly the better fighter and the more credible WW.

Mayweather can easily walk him down as well as outbox him, it's laughable to think otherwise when lesser fighters have had success pressing Khan, Peterson, Julio Diaz and recently Algieri who isn't even known for that.
