Technically, he was reinstated WBA Super Lightwelter after Peterson tested positive, so he last held a World Title on July 14, 2012 - making it roughly 4.5 years, but that doesn't discredit the underlying point the OP was making. I think the more significant development within his career from the past half decade or so has been the perception (true or not) that he has a glass chin. He also has become increasingly difficult to work with from a promotional stand point, as his demands for recognition and payment have overshadowed his actual value and talent in the ring.
Khan is a hard one to figure - He's a well known name, but with a lackluster fan base. He was a mega star in the making, who had very public back-to-back loses. He's since gone on to put together a respectable win streak, but then got stopped, albeit to one of the best in the world, two weight classes above his. How would one evaluate him?
At this point, both Brook and Khan are in the same boat. Both need a win, a solid win, against someone who's name carries some weight, and they both need to ditch the toying with MW and stick with WW. I don't see their fight as an A/B side, right now, both are kind of B draws, this should be a 50/50 - Champ out second - event. Location can be Khan's choice, but they both need this to remain relevant.Comment

Porter needed the judges help to just get a draw the fight before Khan fought him and Alexander is Porters best win lol
I wont even talk about the other bums that make Brooks top 5 wins despite being a career welterComment
