Brook. Khan. Who Is The Greater Fighter?

Morales had a golfball on his face early. Got beaten badly.
Any version of Morales will get his licks on anyone, true ATG's always will. Can't take anything away from that win.
Corley is a win. A win is a win is a win.
Khan struggled with Maidana even worse than Maidana struggled with Corley and you still hear Khantards clinging to that (best) win.Comment

Kelly has been around a while but I'm embarrasses to say I only knew about brook when he started challenging khan.
I was thinking who the hell is brook even though he must have been around 30-0 at that point?
Then I found out brook was top 10 ww and I was thinking khan destroys him? How naive I was back then.
Brook is better fighter. Resume I'd go with khanComment

Yeah he had a golfball on his eye from the first round or something. Still managed to school Maidana for the remainder of the fight more or less. And that was old ass Morales. Maidana was supposed to destroy him.Morales had a golfball on his face early. Got beaten badly.

It just doesn't make sense that Maidana was this great fighter when his Khan fight was surrounded by bad performances against average joes. He went on to lose to Devon Alexander as well.
So yeah exactly.Comment

I mean, I don't know many people who can walk through Morales, any version. I don't see how that's a knock on Maidana.Yeah he had a golfball on his eye from the first round or something.

Maidana wasn't "great" when Khan beat him, but he was a good prospect/contender at the time, a dangerous fighter. Khan barely survived that fight and ducked a rematch. Not long after Maidana stopped one of the most hyped fighters at the time Ortiz and made him a quit for the first time as a professional.
I don't consider it a great win on Khan's resume because he almost doesn't win the fight and that matters.
But I do have a problem with calling any version of Porter better than the best version of Maidana. Maidana is severely underrated in general, lol.Comment
