    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

    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?

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