    Amir Khan was the most successful in daring to be great despite being KOd.

    Kell Brook took a beating early on from GGG but had some success in one or two rounds.

    Mikey Garcia was dominated from end to end in a lopsided decision/beat down by Spence.

    Amir Khan, the argument can be made he was up 4-1 on the cards before being stopped. You can also argue stylistically Canelo is the most challenging opponent out of the 3, given Canelo's hand speed, ability to box and level of opposition.

    Khan gets made fun of more than anyone for taking risks so he's a bad example.

      Khan and Brook actually tried to win which opened them up to return fire. Garcia didn't do **** the whole fight and was proud of just surviving after every round. He is in the same boat as Broner. I guess the 9-10 million he made was worth it to him.

        Haha in what fantasy world was Khan winning that fight? Canelo wasn't even trying to box Khan - he came out the gate swinging for the fences, knowing that he could get the KO early, and he did.

          Both Khan and Brook won 3 rounds on one judge's scorecard. Canelo and Golovkin weren't there to outpoint their opponents that night.

            If you go by the official score cards and not your Khan loving score card Khan lost almost every round and was well behind when Canelo almost killed him with one punch and left him out cold for about 15 minutes. Canelo was killing him with body punches from the start and Khan was going to be knocked out sure as hell just like everybody knew he would. Khan just dared to be rich as he made about 15 million for his swan dive. Khan went up 8 pounds from 147 to 155. Brook went up 13 pounds and Mikey went up 12 pounds. The official score cards were given and Khan was down 4 to 1 on the cards. Try to get your facts right Khan fanatic.

              Brook damn sure did not win three rounds but the fight was in England and you have to expect attempted robberies there just as their boxers often get robbed when they come to the USA.
