It’s quite obvious really. Canelo was by far the more dangerous opponent but he always had the moving up 2 divisions as a get out clause. Losing to Brook would have massive consequences for his career.Got in the ring with canelo but avoided brook cause he was scared

Brook would have put him to sleep no doubt about it. Kahn was a good fighter but let bravado get the better of him far too often. Brook would have timed him and banged him out.
As for mayweather come on he’s the best fighter of his generation period no one could or did beat him. Stop being silly.
I think if Brook wasn't another UK fighter Khan would've took the risk with him. He wanted to be #1 in the country and Brook beating him would ruin that illusion. I do like Khan though, he has had a great career spanning back from the Athens Olympics.
But if he stepped in a ring with Mayweather there is not a chance he causes him any problems. Floyd dealt with quick fighters before. He'd have him timed within 3 rounds most.

So Canelo is an old washed up champion? Brooks only decent win was against porter. That's it.
Yes losing to Brook would have been massive, because Brook is a B Plus player, and Khan is A*. It's equivalent to Mayweather fighting a random.
Khan in his prime would have slept brook, way to fast, no doubt about it. Mayweather would have struggled with Khan's speed, if Khan kept his head on him and boxed intelligently using his movement and speed to get in and out rather than getting drawn in to exchanges, he would have beaten Mayweather for sure.
I personally don't think Khan was concerned about being #1 in the UK, He very quickly became an international star, and he cemented his legacy pretty early on. He has beaten some massive names and was WBA champion at 22. He has beaten top level fighters such as Barrera, Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah, Alexander etc. Who has Kell Brook beaten exactly?
Kell Brook has been trying to live off Khans name since day one.

Im trying not to bite but I can't help myself, are you Khan's biggest fan or his brother?
The tripe your talking is mind blowing he literally ducked Brook all his career, and he would most definitely have lost too, so that makes Khan a B player also.
As for Mayweather in his prime Vs Khan really isn't worth talking about Khan would be buried in 6 rounds.
Couldn’t agree more.
Khan was good Mayweather was great. A few levels between the two at least.
One has been beat and knocked out on multiple occasions and the other is a 5 weight world champ who retired not only undefeated but I don’t think he has ever been put down.
He’s an all time great pound for pound no1 who would belong in any era. Kahn would have never beat Brook simple as that Mayweather would have beat them both.

Who exactly has Kell Brook beaten that makes him a world level fighter? Khan has beaten: Zab Judah, Devon Alexander, Marcos Madaina, Barrera, Salita, Malignaggi, Algeri to name a few.
I disagree, Look at Khan's record, look at Brooks. You cannot honestly tell me Brook is on the same level as Khan. Brook wasted his career, he never took a hard fight apart from Porter.
Edit: Regarding Mayweather, you have to remember that Khan beat a prime Madaina, Mayweather scraped by Madaina in the first fight, Khan vs Mayweather really would have been a viable fight, not sure why people love to put Khan down and act like he had 0 chance.

Lots of hate for Khan in here. Maybe if he cherry picked his way to an unbeaten record and dodged all competitive fights he would be more popular like Kell Brook.
Agree if you compare resumes then Kahn has the better as does Mayweather compared to Kahn by quite a considerable margin. So what does that prove? Mayweather beat Maidana twice Kahn beat him but held on for dear life towards the end of the fight. Mayweather schooled Canelo in a completely one sided master class, Kahn got knocked spark out!
Timing beats speed. Brook had great timing, accuracy and good power. Kahn had speed and a glass jaw. Result Brook times Kahn and put him to sleep just like Canelo did.

Brooks timing and power is unproven because he never fought anyone of note. He lost every big fight he ever had.
He quit against Errol Spence
His GGG fight was a cash grab that he had no intention of winning
He got battered by Crawford
He barely scraped by Zerafa.
You have no evidence that suggests that Brook can survive at the top level.
Well he fought people of note, GGG, Spence and Crawford but he was never expected to win any of those in the real world, his fanboys thought he would. And neither would Khan IMO
Dude stop it. My opinion is that Brook beats Kahn, yours is that Kahn beats Brook. Opinions are like…. Everybody’s got one don’t forget that. Mayweather is not an opinion it’s a foregone conclusion backed up by anyone who has actually followed Boxing for the last 20 years.
He wasn’t expected to beat GGG but did well and suffered a broken orbital. Spence he was beating but suffered a second orbital fracture. Crawford was expected to beat him and Brook was stopped to easily IMO and really should be retired.
I was just about to say never took a hard fight moving up 2 weights taking on GGG who was pretty much p4p no 1 in the world Khan would never step in with GGG.
He fought well too until he broke his orbital, and he was also beating Spence pretty comfortably until again broken orbital. Brook is done GGG fight ended him but so is Khan.
If they both fought each other when they should have Brooks power would have been too much.
Enough of the If's buts maybes. Mayweather v Khan is pointless and Brook v Khan is past it too.

Styles makes fights. I think Khan has has the much better resume, reached higher highs and just has had a stronger career overall. But I do think Brook had a good chance at beating Khan and I think he himself knew that too.
He may talk about he didn't want to offer the fight out of feeling of being disrespected by Brook but a duck is duck. Financial reasons or otherwise.
I do not think Khan was scared of Brook. Khan's biggest weakness is his heart - even if he did quit against Crawford. He's not scared of anyone he steps in a ring with and arguably he was beating Canelo until he was feeling himself a bit too much and decided to go toe-to-toe with him.

and the rest! Think it'll be 11pm the way it's looking.
That guy in that last fight had 2 wins in over 70 fights! Surely there must be better livings than getting punched in the head constantly for a few quid?!
You'd think so, but then most boxers wouldn't figure that out as there isn't usually much going on between the ears.
One of the few sports where getting paid to lose is considered normal....shame it's also one of the sports where losing can mean permanent damage.

Time for Captain Charisma Joyce. Takam from about 5 years ago might have been a decent opponent but I think he's well past his best now.
Haha wtf is he coming out to John Cenas theme tune for?!
