I wouldn't be able to pick a winner from Brook vs Khan... Thoughts?

Khan's speed and work rate, make it very interesting. If a khan had a chin, I would favour him heavily.

I think Brook will beat Khan. He is too strong and skilled. Khan has speed but the chin makes him fight too defensive and he will lose.

If khan had a chin i would go bet my life savings on him, that was very unimpressive by brook and i had him loosing the fight simply because i felt neither dude landed shit but porter was the agressor for majority. Even with khans shit chin id still give him a decent chance

I think Khan beats Brook pretty convincingly

Brook beats khan. He will be ahead on the score cards but will still win by KO between 6th and 8th. I would rather him fight Thurman but beating khan would put him in a really good position to fight floyd. Since they've been suppose to fight for like 2 years now.

I reckon it would look exactly like Khan-Garcia. Khan is winning lookiing dynamite with his speed/combos but will eventually get timed by Brook and it's good night vienna. Brook could possibly KO him with his jab.

Fenster's scenario might be right. To give Khan his due though, I thought he'd have more trouble with Collazo because of his chin but he didn't and appears to be learning to hide it better. With his speed he can beat Brook. It's an interesting fight.

Brook is a way better boxer than he had a chance to demonstrate last night. Khan might have the edge in speed but Brook is able to adjust much better when fighting boxers and Kell just has more ring smarts and power than Khan despite his limited top level experience. There is no way Khan could live with Brook for 12 rounds and that's coming from somebody who has always rated and defended Khan.

I'd want Brook but there is a lot of different factors that makes it interesting.

Khan has no chin but as we saw last night, Brook struggled to land big on a faster fighter.

Very close.

Khan piles up the points lead all the way from the opening bell. Can he stick to his game plan for whole fight ?

Brook has 36 minutes to land a decent shot and I can't see him not doing so. Once he does it's over

This is a really fun match up. Khan's activity will win rounds, but Brook is so good technically and strong. I see Khan starting fast, but as soon as Brook times him, then it's on. Brook does little wrong, whilst Khan does plenty. I favour the better boxing brain and fundamentals over the super speed pigeon brain.

brook was accurate, but didnt throw enough. im surprised he got the nod. you have to beat a champion to take the belt. porter sucked, but he was busier and more aggressive.

ya cant just counterpunch!! khan looked great in his last fight. even with his weak chin, id still go with khan. brook just doesnt throw enough. if he did, id say he would have a good chance.

Brook didn't land with a lot, but he probably landed with a lot more than Porter. I would love to see the punch stats, because I think they would tell the whole story. A fight with Khan would be very different, Brook would be a lot slicker because he's a fully blown WW and would walk through Khan's punches . Brook would be far more at ease with someone like Khan rather than a brawler like Porter because he can get into his rhythm. I am biased , because I reckon Khan is way over hyped, but although it won't be an easy fight , I think Brook will beat him either by a late KO/stoppage or points.

Would be another clinch-fest.

That being said, I think I'd have to favour anyone with a punch and two good feet to defeat Kahn.

Brook is a bit of a mover when he wants to be and his diligent attitude leads me to think he would be smarter than to go looking for Khan all night and this would lead Khan's raids into a trap. Not quite the same (almost) desperation as Garcia. He might even 'out-Khan', Kahn in spots???

I'd want Khan to win though. He seems to have sorted himself out a bit and it would be nice for him to win a title not be confirmed as Britain's no.2

I have always favoured Brook over Khan why,!! because I don't see Khan as a welter theses guys
hit a lot harder, his boxing ability is first class but his chin is not the best but there again not the
worst I've seen. Brook is a good boxer himself, Khan's speed may give him problems but there
again he gives everybody problems, but Brook will be to much for him I see it being a excellent
fight I would make a effort to be there.:)

Yes I think I'd fancy being at this one - though it's likely a stadium fight and I'm not into those. So actually no I don't fancy being at it....:-\

I just worry that Khan could lose a 'stay busy' fight and scupper the whole thing.

Would be exciting that's for sure

Khan has never been outboxed.

Outhustled..but not outboxed.

Khan wins.

I don't actually think Brook has the power to worry Amir too much at Welter... take that away and Khan beats the fuck out of him in every single department.

Infact i think Khan totally schools him in every round and also think he gets a TKO.

Brook will be totally overwhelmed by Amirs speed, Amirs Jab/Reach will cause Brook so many problems too and be something he's never faced before....not even close.

72 Khan
69 Brook

For me Khan is a new fighter under Virgil Hunter now and looks seriously strong at Welter....few hiccups at first but they seem very close and to have nailed it stylwise, are people forgetting that Floyd completely ducked him already?

You saw a different fight than most of us.

Khan can't stay focused whereas Brook is one of the most focused I've seen.
Brook wins one way or another.

In armins defense, I slightly agree.

Did canelo do anymore than porter.?

Porter was even more aggressive than canelo and cant have taken as many shots.

Canelo is the golden goose so it was going his way anyway but you would still expect porter to get the home decision.

On the plus side for brook he never seemed hurt and seem to daze porter a few times so I suppose that clinched it.

Khan vs brook has to happen but khan might not get floyd next sept if hes fasting..

I would heavily favour Khan in this one.

He is a far superior boxer and has the kind of speed Brook has never had to deal with. I can't see Brook outboxing Khan and he's not exactly a devastating puncher either. I think Khan could get through this one, even with his questionable chin.

I was drunk as hell so probably have a skewed vision of what happened but I'm not rewatching that.

Why is it hard to believe that Khan just isn't super-spectacular? He's good, and on a good night, he is tough. But he is more than beatable on his good night.

One thing I give Khan- is that he doesn't back down from fighters that most people do. Aside from a business-decision in Kell Brook, Khan got in there with Peterson (got robbed) and Garcia (a dangerous, young fighter)... he also got in with Maidana.
