      People can say what they want, but regardless of how you slice or dice it, but Khan took care of a fresher Maidana in 1 fight, 8 ounce gloves (& a glass chin) where as TBE needed 2 fights and 10 ounce pillows.

        Don't start fudging numbers homie ....

        "The Brit's 12-round win over Chris Algieri on Friday, May 29 topped a PBC on Spike TV show that averaged 772,000 viewers over the course of the telecast. The headlining battle between former 140 lb. titlists averaged 1 million viewers on the night."

        Plus that is FREE TV, which puts things into perspective.

          Still living off a win that happened 5 years ago.

          Sad.

            Brook. He's undefeated, a title holder, and in his prime. Ring has him ranked as #1. Plus Chocolate Brownie.

              Khan's last 3 fights have been against 3 world champions consecutively. Brook's last 3 fights have been against 1 world champion and then 2 bums. Brook's resume is a joke compared to Khan's resume. Even just Khan's 3 fights at WW is a better resume than Brook's entire career at WW.

                Not enough perspective. Here's some more perspective:

                Khan-Algieri Draws Huge Numbers For Spike TV And PBC

                "Magnifying the ratings result is that the telecast came opposite a memorable Game 7 of the NHL playoffs between the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning. The elimination game - won by Tampa Bay who faces the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup - drew nearly 3.3 million viewers, the most ever for a non-Stanley Cup finals game on NBC Sports Network.

                Despite the competition across the dial, viewership interest rose over the course of the Spike TV broadcast. The peak audience for the main event reached 1.12 million viewers, good for the most watched cable fight on a Friday night in more than eight years. The number surpasses the peak viewership of the first PBC on Spike TV main event, when a similar number of viewers tuned in as Andre Berto stopped Josesito Lopez to resurrect his career.

                  Brook because he has more of an aura of invincibility about him because he's unbeaten

                    Oh it was against 3 World champions? Where are Khan's three belts then?

                    Then Brook's last 4 opponents have been 2 world champions, 1 amateur world champion and one mandatory.

                      Who cares? Honestly.

                      Is mayweather supposed to be impressed by Khan drawing in 1/4 the amount Mayweather got to pay for his last fight - for free?

                      What if Brook-Gavin did 500k PPV? That's much more impressive.
