    I think Khan has more skills but Brook looks to be the better opponent for Floyd right now. I think Brook would push the action and that would yield a more definitive result.

    Khan's performance against Algieri didn't make me think he has a any real chance to beat Floyd.

      Khan has a much better resume than Brook in terms of opposition he's faced so at this particular point obviously Khan enhances Floyd's legacy the most. BUT, it also depends on what both Khan and Brook do in the future which will decide what the ultimate impact would be on Floyd's legacy.

      But right now, obviously it's Khan - it's not even debatable.

        Brook, just so he can get another belt.

        But really neither of them do anything for his legacy.

          Firstly, Floyd is vacating all the belts so there will not be an undisputed champion. Also if Brook loses again after Mayweather, they will say he was a hypejob anyway. Dan Rafael also said Brook is virtually unknown in the states especially to casuals. Khan has achieved and is a much better fight for him in terms of legacy.

          Mayweather didn't pay the sanctioning fee so the WBO belt is already vacant and Bradley-Vargas are fighting for it this month.

            You don't think it would add to Floyd's resume to be undisputed champion?

            You even acknowledged that I answered your first question, then I said NO when you asked if being undisputed would add anything. He wouldn't even be undisputed. So yes you are one thick ****

              I think Brook is the stronger welterweight and he has a belt. If I had to choose it would be Brook.

                Becoming undisputed at WW would be nice but, to be honest, I don't think either does much for his legacy. I think that book's been written already.

                  Khan has beaten 9 world champions, all by either UD or KO. And it would be a stylistically tricky fight for Floyd.

                  Brook has only beaten 1 world champion, by SD. And it would be like a walk in the park for Floyd.

                  It's a no-brainer that Khan would look way better on Floyd's resume than Brook ever would. The belt makes no difference, since Floyd is vacating his belts anyway.

                    None of those a win over GGG at 160 would bring him up from number 40 all time great to probably to probably number 6
