Comments Thread For: Khan: Chaves Not a Top Guy, Brook Needs To Do Better

[LacedUp]

Brook needs to travel. He took care of Porter and I'm sure he can do well against others. Staying in England isn't helping his case. He is 29, 35-0 and really his second step up is a guy who is coming off a loss and draw and lost every major step up, never won a World title nor a name on his record.

"he can punch doe, Drew with Bradley doe".


Oh and by traveling I don't mean Tenerife.

Khan should just fight someone who could punch his way through wet paper towel.

Chaves would quite potentially finish Khan

Ring has Kell Brook at #10 P4P and #1 at WW. Not really something to hold on to.

Rightfully ranked above Khan on all accounts.

Khan...critical of someone else's competition...priceless. Boxing is about trying to wait people out past their prime now. Khan is a turd.

Khan is right, Chaves is really a C -level fighter at best.

Probably, but I watched his fight with Bradley the other day, no sound, scored it 6-6. He was up against Rios but I think he would have lost that fight. Brook-Chaves is a good style match-up though, I expect a tough bout.

Chavez is far better than anyone Khan has fought at WW.

In the space of 14 months Brook will have beat Porter, taken care of his mandatory, fought Chavez and scared the sh#t out of Khan, again...not too bad for just over a years work, is it?

Chaves is better than anyone Khan has fought at 147

Chaves has a good chance to spark Khan.

C'mon now, Devon Alexander is quite clearly a lot better than Chaves.

minus Devon Alexander.

How's that? I'd say they're on a similar level, with Chaves being slightly better. Even if Devon is better, it's marginal.

Chaves is a very solid fighter, he's got good skill and he's tough as nails.
