Its funny how people shit all over Khan. He beat Maidana who got 2 shots at Mayweather and gave him his hardest fight in a long time and he beat Broner. Also just schooled Collazo who has been heavily avoided and Alexander who seemed to be ducked by Kell. Porter is the only good fighter Kell has faced and with regards to him being the next big thing is all based on one fight against Alexander, who Khan beat in just as impressive fashion. Khan v Brook is a close fight but cant see how Brook can be made favorite. I didnt think he looked great against Porter at all and cant see him handling Khan. Only way he beats Khan is with a KO and Khan looks smarter in the ring now.
I like Khan, think he's a terrific fighter. Can easily see him doing a number on Brook because of his amazing speed. But he hasn't just been ironed out against big punchers he's been walked down by Peterson (I thought he won this fight) and Collazo (although obviously he was whooping him). Brook is much stronger, harder punching and talented than these. Plus they've sparred in the past and Brook is not exactly shy about wanting to fight him.
Saw Brook was 7/4 with one firm. If they were fighting this year, which they're obviously not, I'd have some of that.
I agree the 7/4 is big. I originally had Brook as fav for this before Khan beat Collazo and Devon so easily. Id say somewhere between 11/10 and 5/4 is about right for Brook now. Pretty sick the fight isnt happening this year. Decent bet on Khan to win a world title this year and Brook would be his best chance probably.
Brook must have been his only chance (I assume Thurman's title don't count?). After May he'll only fight once more, would need Manny to beat Floyd
I think if Pac wins he will want to face Brook and unify I don't think Floyd would do and will concentrate on beating Marcianos record the easiest way possible being so close to it.
So if that happens then Brook will lose to Pac I reckon and that leaves him and Khan with no belts.
Ideal scenario would be winner of Khan v Brook facing the winner of Pac v Floyd for all the belts 😉
Khan is not the same fighter under Virgil hunter..please remember that.
Virgil has overhauled khan with a bigger engine, turbo and bigger hard drive.
Khan is boxing.
