Comments Thread For: Farhood: If Khan is KO'd By Canelo, He's Not A-Side With Brook

[wlliam]

Flawed logic again man. Conveniently omit the fact that Porter got a draw with Julio Diaz and in fact most people thought Diaz beat Porter. So Brook just beat a guy that Diaz already beat anyway. He followed Diaz game plan + threw in excessive clinching. Watch Diaz vs Porter 1 to see what I mean.

Porter vs Alexander was a close fight as was Porter vs Brook which was a majority decision - one judge had a Draw. That one Porter win Brook is riding off is overrated and it's old news. Khan has only fought 4 opponents above 140 and overall he's fought better fighters than Brook even at 147 alone, and Brook has fought at 147 his whole career. Think about that for a second.

Khan's 4 opponents above 140 = Diaz, Collazo, Algieri, Alexander.
Brook's best opponents at 147 = Porter, Jones. He's had 35 fights and he hasn't fought as many decent fighters as Khan has at 147 in only 4 fights. Think about it..

Khan has the potential to be one of the best but he hasn't proven it yet because Floyd, Pacquiao, Marquez + Bradley all avoided him. He can't force the perceived best guys to fight him but if they had, win or lose, they would have all been entertaining fights. Ultimately boxing lost in the end by those fights not happening.

Some of these keyboard warriors have been hating Khan at the expense of actually watching some exciting, entertaining match ups in boxing, it's pretty ridiculous and I'm convinced at this point that they're afraid Khan could actually win which is something they'd rather not witness. I mean if they hated Khan that much, and believed he was garbage, then why not support the match up just to watch him lose and fail miserably?

Lol.. Exactly. It's because they know he actually has a chance of winning against all those guys and they want to avoid that at all costs.

I dont rate Brook as high as most publications have him for the fact hes removed himself from top level competition at 147. Simply, you cant face that level opponents and expect to be rated among the divisions best..if that makes any sense(sarcasm) That goes without saying Brook is still rated higher than Khan who flat out refused to compete against top rated WWs. Simply, you cant expect to swerve top level opponents at 147 and expect to be rated among them. We can bash, belittle Brooks opposition all we want but it does NOT elevate Khans status one bit...Khans no longer the form he was pre 2012 and thats what the khantrrds dont understands. Im not implying ur one.

Lets look at like this: Brook over Porter > Khan over Alexander therefore Brook is the higher rated WW. Makes sense.

As for Khan beating Mayweather, Pac, Bradley, Marquez..in theory , yes BUT I think ur confusing what kind of fighter Khan can POTENTIALLY be with his hand speed ans ur overlooking the fighter Khan actually is. And also if Khan was at his best form i can see those scenarios but hes not at his best form. We gotta rate Khan for what hes actually done and his form in those fights instead of rating for his potential and his hand speed.

Canelo at 155 is 10 levels above any one Brook has fought.

The Porter win is massively overrated.
