Khan would stop Brook imo.
I read this the other day. Bad move for Brook, I think Khan would stop him too
Think Khan too but dont think its bad option for both of them !
Warren is a total cock, the bloke is his last week olumn was sayin Khan should forget about Mayweather and concentrate on clearing out 140, but now has made an offer to fight The mighty Kell Brook hahaha!!
Brook needs to try fighting somone with a pulse maybe?
Khan don't need Brook what a stupid fight, so what fight Brook then move back down for the big fights?
WTF is Warren thinking he goes from making fighters like Hatton and Calzaghe fight 30 odd fights before facing a real test to throwing guys like Chisora and Brook potentially into fights where they are way out of there depth. Brook hasnt fought a decent domestic fighter yet ( Jennings fight didnt have a chance to get going) it would be another Cotto v Jennings or Pavlik v Lockett
At welter this will be a tough fight for Amir and he could lose. Kell is a quality fighter and Amir is untested at this weight. Not a good move for Amir and do not think he will take up this offer.
Im not even sure if Kell Brook could of handled Michael Jennings, i thought Michael Jennings was coming on slightly and it could of got interesting.
Brook is a cracking prospect and i wouldnt bet against him against khan
he will be a top world champion one day
his punches are so accurate and he waists so little it would be a good clash of styles
id be excited about this one

Haha, he certainly was coming on. This would be the very same outcome as throwing Mitchell to the wolves against Katsidis. Just like Warren is trying to cash in. I personally thin Brook will get exposed when he steps it up, but good luck to the guy if he fancies takin on Khan.Quote:

Without more experience Brook sinks at Khan level for me.
i can only say dude, you are very wrong about this one :)Quote:

I'm with you regarding Kell Brook. He is being written off as a top prospect by the same haters who wrote Khan off. Brook has looked sensational thus far in his career. He's handled everyone put in front of him and he's still improving.Quote:

As for Brook struggling against Jennings, he's only a young pro still with a lot of improvments to make.
Khan got rocked against Willie Young and Michael Gomez, it's not a permenant block to their potential.
Brook, along with Nathan Cleverly are the two big stars for the UK ove the next 3 or 4 years.
Warren should get Clottey i the ring with Brook then we will see what Brook is made of.

Khan isn't even a welter so I don't know what weight class Warren thinks this would take place at. Khan has loads of work to do at 140, all of his biggest rivals are there so what possible motive would he have in moving up a division, coming back to England to fight a guy who is unknown on the world stage both in name, and in true talent.
It's never going to happen until Brook has a breakout fight and makes himself a big name. This is the kind of fight that happens when the public clamour is overwhelming.
Right now Murray makes more sense, although I rather fancy Khan will opt for Judah over them both. He's looking to make a name in America, he needs no further domestic publicity.
yeah i dont expect it to happenQuote:

i like clev a lot too, i dont think he is as good as brook tho
and im not sure about him struggling with jennings, it wasnt a great performance but it was still comfortable
I just can't ride with Brook, I see a few too many holes. Did you watch his fight with Bienias?? Although Brook smashed him in the end, he was getting caught pretty decent by that guy, and he was some poor Polish fella who had only ever fought outside of Poland once maybe, when he got smashed inside 2 rounds by Witter, and that was at 140.... He just bothers me that he has that style based on reflexes but just doesn't seem quick enough and doesn't appear all that difficult to hit. Similar to Khan in a way, where the elusiveness / reflexes doesn't actually stop you from getting hit...... Hell, its just an opinion, and certainly not as educated an opinion as a lot of posters on here, so maybe i'm bang wrong, only time will tell. I'd love for him to be top, I love boxing and British Boxing, so it would be absolutely beautiful for British boxing no doubt.Quote:

I think the advantage Brook does have is that he is a solid Welterweight, not like Mitchell moving up.
mitchell looked a decent fighter before the katsidis fight, i had a feeling it would be a tough night for him but i didnt expect him to get wiped out as he didQuote:

i didnt ever think anywhere near as highly of him as i do of brook, and his style isnt just on reflexes, his accuracy and power look very impressive
its hard to say how good he is because he hasnt been in a tough fight, but in one way that can be a positive because he has breazed through british level
That is a great call and something i had thought of also.Quote:
