    Yeah a bunch of past prime faded HOFers some resume

      Pretty much the same.

      Khan has a better resume and a bigger name, Brook has a belt.

      Being undisputed at WW means absolutely nothing in Floyd's case, what would he prove by getting a strap which Malignacci and Porter had beforehand?.

      Let's be honest, all Brook has is one decent win.

          That's a big jump for one victory.

              Brook would probably be an easier fight but he's young, undefeated and a champion. If Mayweather kept his belts and won the last one, it would obviously enhance his "legacy" more to retire as undisputed champion. It's something that's rarely done in the modern era.

              Beating Amir Khan is just beating Amir Khan. Something that Breidis Prescott did 7 years ago. He may have a more difficult style to contend with but no one is going to remember or care that he was fast or whatever in 50 or 100 years time.

                  May's legacy is secure. One of the greatest WW's ever. Even were he to lose somehow his last fight no one will remember it after all the rest.

                  He is mostly just fighting out the rest of his contract.

                      Brook I can see him going on to win multiple titles at WW and possibly JMW. Khan is getting chinned vs the next puncher he faces.
