    Tough call bc Khan performed better but Brook had the tougher fight.

    I'd go Khan. He lasted longer, won more rounds and took less punishment throughout (last punch aside). Brook had a very solid fight but aside from round 2 I still think he probably lost the rest of the rounds.

      Brook easily.
      Khan was against a far lesser fighter and a guy who had a somewhat rather favourable style for Khan actually.

      Also Khan got flatlined, Brook was still goading GGG and swinging when the towel came in.

      Put it this way if we swapped opponents Brook outboxes Canelo and GGG does what Canelo did to Khan in one round.

          Khan clearly won most of his rounds against Canelo and got knocked out with one punch, Brook traded with Golovkin to then get mowed down.

          Both of them did fairly well for smaller guys, Khan did better boxing-wise.

            I had Khan actually winning the fight against Canelo up until the KO. However, Brook faced the stiffest challenger in Golovkin while more than holding his own against him until the stoppage.

            Moreover, he was the first fighter I've seen to actually momentarily rock Golovkin on occasion and back him up. That had never happen before in GGG's career.

            In addition, he was able to bruise and swell Gennady's face while taking his best punches in the process without going down. So I will have to say Brook performed the better of the two after jumping up multiple weight divisions.

              On top of that against the fighter Khan's opponent gave his belt up to avoid.
              How though? Hell brook did the booty dew in the first round. You're acting like canelo isn't a pfp fighter.. Brook woulda got a lot more damage if his corner didn't save him

                  Correct.

                  I genuinely don't see Khan lasting a round with GGG, so it's a pointless comparison.

                    Khan won more rounds against Canelo than Brook did against Golovkin, but he got knocked clean out, while Brook was stopped on his feet. Also Brook fought the better opponent, so those have to count for something.

                      Canelo is a start-stop fighter, he doesn't fight consistently. GGG always pressures. Hard to compare the two performances but I would say Brook did better.
