Brook Vs Khan For May....Maybe

Brook - Khan

At one point this would have filled Wembley but the truth is, it's lost that pull. This fight is like spoiled milk, that's not 100% spoiled, you think it's salvageable and you won’t die, so you make your coffee/tea, but then spit it and flush it away because it tastes disgusting.

I think Khan is still under the impression that he's relevant. The last time this guy was a world champion Obama was still in his first presidential term.

The guy (Khan) is living the good life of that PHAT pay cheque he got for getting ktfo by Canelo. He’s never truly dedicated himself to the sport, doesn’t really train outside of a fight camp and enjoys life by putting on weight and smoking shisha pipes. Not to mention the fact that he's having some serious domestic issues with his wife and family.

He’s just looking for best monetary option and Kell Brook is just that. More interested in the paper. As for Brook, I don't know why he thinks he can fight Khan before he fights Spence. Spence has earned his shot, so Brook needs to focus at the task at hand.

But should the fight happen Brook is far too superior for Khan in every department and I do believe the fight as watchable as it still is, has lost that mo-jo.

Both fighters have been divas fighting Canelo and GGG when they should have fought one another. Glad both got smashed up. This is sloppy seconds. Not got the same interest at all.

I agree with the first part, they both only chase paydays. It's understandable, it's a brutal sport. But make a legacy before ONLY chasing paydays.

I disagree about "they should have fought one another". Khan is irrelevant, the only reason to fight Khan is he brings a different demographic so he brings a payday. But like mentioned above, Khan hasn't been a champion in many years. Brook should only be looking at top WWs like Thurman, Pacquiao or Spence if he will fight at 47.

Khan has earned a shot at any welterweight champion especially since he was champion at the lower weight. This was also a natural big UK fight.

I hope Brook beats the absolute living shit out of Khan

In all likelihood I believe he would no matter what weight they make the fight.

I still think Khan will avoid the embarrassment and would prefer to lose to Manny or Thurman.

The winner of this vs the winner of Kirkland-Cotto wouldn't be horrible.....but I know Cotto is going to want bigger and better as his career is coming to a close.

I don't mind Brook, I was happy to see him take a right difficult challenge on vs GGG, but boy did he bite off a lot more than he could chew! Massive respect for that though.

Amir Khan, that kid was a bit in love with himself wasn't he? He and Adrien Broner were almost two peas in a pod. He has been the victim of some massive KO's and I think that has really taken a toll on him.



Brook should take this easily, UD or late stoppage

I think Brook was just as stupid to take on GGG, probably more so, as Khan v Canelo.

I wouldn't have thought so, unless he has continuing problems with the eye, he was getting beat up but it was stopped before it bacame a massacre, there is more chance of that one punch of Canelo doing lasting damage (assuming that the eye has healed fully)

What happened to Brook vs Spence? I think Spence can beat them both.

Brook vs Khan has that rivalry, grudge match appeal to it. Who cares if they're damaged goods.
I'd watch it for sure.

And root for Brook as well.

Just about spot on. Khan is now doing his life with the Khanishans thing by having his missus fall out with his moneygrabbing family all over the front pages posing in a stupid designer suit. Brook would do himself and all of us a service by fighting Spence.

Lol beat them anyway. I'd say he's proper knock out Khan.Spence looks to be a rising force of nature and an immensely talented fighter.

The Brook v Spence could go either way

Spence looks very good but hasn't really beaten anyone amazing has he

Algeri and Bundu? yeah hes looked good doing it but Algeri wasn't exactly on a good run of form

Brook hit GGG hard and often

There you go again trying to justify your support for the British fighter at any cost. You should be embarrassed.

Amir Khan says a clash against long-time rival Kell Brook will only act as a "tune-up fight" for even bigger bouts in his future.

Khan (31-4 KO19) has not fought since suffering a devastating knockout defeat to WBO light-middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in May, but confirmed he is in talks to face Brook in a long-awaited all-British welterweight showdown in March.

Brook, the reigning IBF world welterweight champion (36-1 KO25), is back in the gym after failing in his quest to dethrone middleweight king Gennady Golovkin at The O2 in September and recently urged Khan to front up and finally sign a deal for them to meet in the ring in 2017.

"That fight between me and him can happen, I mean I do consider it," Khan told Badlefthook.com.

"I don't mind having that as a tune-up fight - the Kell Brook fight - before I go into big fights, so we in talks, I've left it to my team. I have a great team in the UK now."

And Khan says he is already eyeing up the winner of the unification bout between WBC champion Danny Garcia and WBA champion Keith Thurman, which is also scheduled to take place in March.

He added: "Well I think [Garcia-Thurman] is going to happen in March, I want to be back around March time myself, so maybe my March fight can be a tune-up and then go straight into a big fight towards the end of the year with one of the winners."

Brook sustained a fractured right eye socket in his bruising fifth-round stoppage loss to GGG, but emerged from the fight with his reputation enhanced.

Khan, however, has claimed the defeat to the Kazakh knockout specialist only proved that Brook did not belong on the big fight stage.

"I know why [Brook] took that fight, because I took the Canelo fight going up in weight. And still by losing to Canelo I got a lot of credit," said Khan, who underwent surgery on a broken right hand in the summer.

"But my fight was a little different to what Brook and Triple G had because Triple G was all over him from the first round.

"Triple G was winning every round. With me...I was winning the fight, I was up man, I was winning the fight. Obviously one punch can change a fight. But with [GGG-Brook] I think it was a mismatch.

"Kell Brook does not belong in big fights...I just think Kell Brook shouldn't be in the ring with someone like Golovkin, Golovkin was on a different level. And I just think that once Kell moves up to that next level he's always going to get beat."

Khan: Brook just a tune-up fight

No.

Spence might not have had better opponents than Brook, but has Brook had better opponents than Khan?

Hearn does not want Brook to fight Spence..he is hoping for Khan at a catchweight.

There's a reason they are running.Even Crawford hesitated when asked about fighting Spence.

As always whether I like the fighter(in the case of Spence I do) or if I think the fighter is overrated as most of the "feared" fighters are. I say, it is simply business. If Spence paid like the GGG fight paid Brook would jump at it. Fighters are not scared of getting beat. They're scared of getting beat and not getting properly rewarded for their efforts.

I would hope that Spence would have the common sense to say "No I will not fight GGG for whatever amount of money as it will ruin my career and momentum to win the welterweight title."

Amir Khan ’s wife has hit back at his family in a This Morning interview, explaining why her row with them has become so public.

Over the past few days, Faryal Makhdoom has accused the boxer’s family of bullying her and dictating what she wears.

She has claimed she’s been subjected to a tirade of abuse, and accused the Khans of trying to destroy her marriage.

Amir’s mum Falak, meanwhile, has claimed she’s lying , but Faryal protested on This Morning .

Explaining herself, she told Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: “It’s not in my nature to ever go public about personal matters, but being so young and getting married so publicly and having to deal with so much abuse…

“Over the years, his brother went on Twitter rants, called me fake, called me Michael Jackson, it’s really not very nice.

“I used to take it in and be silent and thought they’d stop, but it’s just started to build up and up.

“When I did a catwalk recently, I was really proud and Amir was really proud of me, and then I saw his sister call it a 'dog walk', and that really hurt me because when I didn’t work I was called a gold digger.”

Faryal went on to confess she’d love for herself and Amir’s family to get on at some point, but she’s unsure of how likely it is to happen.

She said: “I went to Amir’s brother’s wedding, and I had fun and danced with his mum. I could see Amir’s face and he was smiling as we were getting on.

“It would be nice for them to eventually get on with us, but I don’t know how possible that is, especially having been in three years of marriage and not getting on.”

Amir Khan's wife hits back as she blames his family for row getting so bad on This Morning

International Boxing Federation (IBF) welterweight champion Kell Brook believes that fellow countryman Amir Khan needs to leave the boxing world and vows to end the boxer's career if they clash in the ring.

Promoter Eddie Hearn recently revealed that both the sides are keen for a clash, with Old Trafford said to be a potential venue. In the past, both Brook and Khan have come out and expressed willingness to fight but nothing has come up on that front so far.

Brook who stepped up to the middleweight from the welterweight category in his most recent outing to fight IBF and WBC champion Gennady Golovkin struggled against his opponent, losing in the fifth round at the O2 Arena in London. Despite his loss, the Brit is confident of beating Khan and said he was ready to fight whenever he was ready.

"We need to get that drama queen signed up and get rid of him for good. I'm ready to sign. I'm ready to do the job, get in there and end his career. He needs to be gone from boxing to be honest and I'm the man to do it", said Brook to Talksport.

Khan too is coming off a loss in his most recent fight, where he was dominated by Saul "Canelo" Alvarez who knocked him out in the sixth round at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on 7 May. The 30-year-old who jumped two weight divisions to fight at a catch weight of 155lbs has been out of action since the fight and is currently recovering from a hand surgery.

"He has got nowhere else to go. It is the biggest fight money-wise at this level. They are all going to be hard fights so why not take a dangerous fight for the most amount of money. He has obviously been in some big fights and he needs this kind of fight to get him up in the morning. It's the same for me. I am ready to go anywhere."

I made my previous post about the Khanishans as a joke, little did I know it would come true, you couldn't make it up! Brook should go elsewhere, whatever the loss of money, but unfortunately I doubt he will.

Boxer Amir Khan in bid to heal family rift as he thanks mother-in-law | Daily Star

Amir Khan says he is simply "a better fighter" than Kell Brook as he looks to get a British super-bout agreed for 2017.

In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News HQ, the Bolton welterweight said he was keen to face his biggest domestic rival Brook at Wembley Stadium in the latter part of next year.

Brook (36-1-KO25) has been out of action since May, when he was brutally knocked out by Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in a bid to win the WBC middleweight title, but he is back in training camp in the United States and is readying himself for a "tune-up" fight before, he hopes, taking on Brook.

Khan (31-4-KO19) has since undergone extensive surgery on his hand, while Brook also suffered a heavy defeat in his last outing, needing an operation on a fractured eye socket after he was stopped by Gennady Golovkin.

Khan said: "I'm a better fighter, a much more skilful fighter. I've been in with better opposition than Kell.

"I think Golovkin is the only 'A' fighter he has fought. With me, I've been in with the likes of [Marcos] Maidana, Danny Garcia, Zab Judah - I've fought the best names in boxing. I think it's time now where I shut Kell Brook up, and his team, and I settle the score to show who the No 1, and the best fighter in the UK, is.

"I am happy to take that fight. I always said Kell Brook has to prove himself and he has done that by getting in the ring with Golovkin.

"He showed he is a tough guy and he's not afraid of fighting anyone, and it's worth now going into the ring with someone like Kell Brook. No one really knew him in America but now he has made a few noises.

"We do have our problems and we do want to settle the score, but the right way in the boxing ring. Then we can show who the best 147lb fighter is. I've told my team I want the fight.

"That fight makes sense for both of us. Let's make it a big fight now. Kell wants it and I want it. We are in talks and let's make it happen now.

"I'm not going to disrespect Kell. He put up a great fight against Golovkin, who is a tough guy a lot of people are scared of. Kell gave it his best - obviously he fell short but at the end of the day he is a great fighter. Boxing is all about the best fighting the best."

Khan has not fought in the United Kingdom since early 2013, with the Alvarez defeat coming in his third Las Vegas bout, but he is keen to fight in front of his home fans again as soon as possible.

"We can sell that fight out, the two of us alone. Let's get the fight done in 2017. It's a good fight for the fans," Khan added.

"When a fight like that happens it has to be Wembley Stadium. It's a massive fight and one that could sell in big numbers. It could happen maybe summer time or the end of the year. Both fighters have to be ready.

"Obviously, with Kell having that surgery and me having the surgery, I want to get back in the ring and have a tune-up fight come April just to get my hand back in action and see how I feel. Maybe the one after that could be Kell Brook."

As well as Brook, Khan has his sights set on Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson, two of the fighters to have beaten him.

Khan's second career defeat came at the hands of Peterson in 2011 and his next fight would also end in disappointment when he was stopped by Garcia as he tried to claim the WBC super-lightweight belt.

On a Garcia rematch, Khan said: "That's something I have always wanted. I met Danny in Miami and we had a chat. He said to me 'Look, it's going to happen again some day. Don't know when'.

"I'm sure Al Haymon will get that fight one day for me. It's something I want as I have unfinished business with him. The only reason I can't get that fight just yet is because Danny is fighting Keith Thurman, and that is a unification fight so it overrides any mandatory. That's another fight out there for me. There are some big names like him and Peterson.

"I feel as good as when I was 25. I am keeping my body clean, I'm training very hard. I treat my body very well and I might have another three years left in me. Boxing has been great for me and I just want to give the fans the fights they want."

Khan: I'm better than Brook

Before the 3G fight i'd have had Khan down to win this by a big points margin but now i'm not so sure he can keep Brook off him for 12 rounds.
Brook must know that if he take that type of power that Golovkin hit him with he can walk through anything Khan hits him with.
I have a gut feeling that Canelo beat the last bit of fight out of Amir and this could be an easy nights work for Brook which he'll win by KO.
Shame this never happened years ago when it was red hot but still i think it's a big big fight - Wembley Stadium sized fight? I'm not so sure about that :-\

Agreed . Khan can't avoid him for twelve rounds and he knows it.

Khan can only win on points.

Brook can look to finish this inside 3

Khan is deluded if he thinks Brooks is now worthy to fight him just because Kell got battered by GGG. It undermines the value of the fight with both of them being knocked out in their last fights in 5 and 6 rounds.

This will not stop Sky/Eddie talking up this fight for all it is worth which are 2 fighters that are damaged goods. It will be funny watching them peddle this rubbish as sky box office ppv.

How is Brook "damaged goods" ?
If anything his stock/levels of respect have doubled since fighting Golovkin, he moved up in weight for the first time ever and went straight into a fight with one of the worlds best and definitely hardest hitting fighters and made a real go of it backing Golovkin up at times.
No shame at all in that and Brook did himself proud that night.
Khan may well be "damaged goods" after such a Brutal KO but only time will tell.
This is a grudge match that real fight fans still wanna see as anything can happen when Khan fights and he's rarely in a dull fight.

Brook has a broken eye socket, that is damaged in my eyes. :)

Khan has the advantage at welterweight because he can make the weight easier than Kell and he has speed. I am sure Brook will agree to fight at welterweight but I am sure he would prefer it at light middle.

This fight is happening because they have limited other big options and have now been spoilt wanting to have big paydays.

I have just had a text message to say that Khan is going to be fighting Danny Garcia ''before'' he fights Brook
