    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.
