Reality is Khan v Brooks sells whatever happens to Khan, even if he loses. If mugs pay for Floyd v Pac Man 5 years past its best then this can sell in the UK too.

Couldnt disagere more. If Khan wanted a big money fight he could have had the Brook fight. Hes after legacy so definitely wants to avenge Garcia loss. Khan is worth over 30 mil. I dont think the money matters to him that much.Quote:

At the end of the day, in this sport, you should have to keep proving yourself and you shouldn't get by on name alone . I know it doesn't always work like that.
I also appreciate that Brook needs to fight some top guys for the same reasons.
Khan has a big ego but that chin of his lets him down he may well want revenge,! but in the rematch he will out box Garcia again till he gets hit then the same out come as the first fight.Quote:

Wants to take a 'warm up' fight with Berto or Rios before Garcia or Brook???
I think he should go straight at it and skip those.
Brook-Khan doesn't sell regardless of what happens to Khan. Being based in America, and so inactive, has made him borderline irrelevant in the UK. He never has been involved in a massive selling mega fight. He's the A-side against Brook but not by a million miles, they need each other for a mega seller.
Does he risk his career getting binned in a massive payday against Brook or keep picking up a million squid a fight in the States? You can see why his team are ducking Brook.
Even Floyd told him this week he should be fighting Brook :D
Yep, that's a bit lame. It would be funny if Berto were to deck him.Quote:

Khan gets an awful lot of credit for two rounds against Garcia, that's all he won, two rounds. Garcia was completely overawed with Khans speed in the first 6 minutes, that's hardly surprising. Garcia dominated the third with body punching and should have had a stoppage win there and then. Baylis went from wanting to get Khan killed in the third to not wanting to give him a chance in the fourth.
Khan 'can' beat Garcia, I don't doubt that, but Garcia is the favourite for me. He knows how to beat Khan and it's a pretty simple formula.
I haven't heard about this, has it been mentioned? I heard his Dad say they want to fight in March, but never said who.Quote:

Could be Rios I suppose, he's a bit of a punchbag that Khan will look good hitting, but if he starts walking through Khan's punches, he could make Khan look average.
That simple formula is difficult when you can not find that chin with a new trainer and improved defence.Quote:

I don't think Khan has improved under Hunter.
So, after what's happened this week , how many people still think that Garcia is gonna give up his title to avoid Khan? Oh yeah, that's right .:rolleyes:;D
How did we know Khan would try to be so stupid?Quote:
