Khan face to face with Brook

[Kirkland Laing]

Can't see either Khan or Hatton risking fighting Brook before they fight each other. It's just not going to happen, is it?

[Master]

Khan does have delusion of grandeur, just because he has done well at Light welter does not mean he can do it at welterweight. He is trying to say he is bigger than Kell in terms of stardom and achievement which he is but he is certainly not better than Kell at welterweight. Both fighters will be desperate to fight Hatton first now but really should concentrate on their own careers. Kell should have taken the Bradley fight and elevated his status. Khan is back to the drawing board taking on a very soft opponent to perfect his defence and then fight Hatton for a massive amount of money. I will not be paying PPV, but the again I never do.

(Hatton) he's proven himself - by getting knocked out cold by Mayweather/Pacquiao

[Beanz]

Great fun.

That would have been good but I have read somewhere Hearn said why take the fight now when could soon be mandatory challenger, Hearn will make a big bid to get home advantage, If Brook accepts the fight as voluntary chances are it will be for shit money with Bradley calling the shots.

I love Kell Brooks' voice. Kermit the frog with a cold.

Not true my friend. Brook is fighting his 2nd IBF eliminator and then would be in line to fight the winner of Bailey/Alexander but the problem is, if Devon wins he's entitled to an optional and if Bailey retains he's entitled to an optional which more or less freezes Kell out of the IBF sweep stakes for at least a year to 18 months.

In order to get into the mandatory position for Bradley he would need to fight in sanctioned WBO fights but it begs the question why bother when you just got offered a fight by the new champion as his optional??

I cant see the rationale.

All very strange then, Perhaps Hearn just feels Brook isn't ready yet. He didn't look impressed after the Jones fight, it was as though Brook had let him down.

I'd give it another 12 months and 3-4 fights before putting Brook in with one of the champs personally.

I enjoyed that a lot. It was a shame Brook didn't have a sharper tongue on him as there were so many things he could have said to get under Khan's skin, but I think in the heat of the moment just didn't think of them. Khan won the verbal tussle, but both sides made valid points. Brook hasn't beaten a top fighter and Khan does like the chicken dance.

Both fighters are stupid for saying Hatton is the tougher fight though as we have no idea what Hatton has right now and the interviewers were stupid too. We just don't know and I say that as a massive fan of Ricky Hatton. Based on records and history, Hatton was better than both, but is? There are question marks at the moment.

Lets all see what happens, when Khan moves up in weight he did not have great punch resistance at
light-welter, interesting what his resistance he will have at welter.!
He talked about his amateur, experience he did fight a friend of myself and son, a few times Khan was lucky to get the decision's. No doubt Khans a good fighter, all his opponents he now faces no they have,
a really good chance of beating him. Facts World class opponents, will not stand back and admire his
boxing skills, they will be all over him like a cheap suit.
When or if he fights Brook, it will be a treat for us fans I fancy Brook to beat him, I think it could be
a gruelling fight, and a cracker can't wait.
