    Kell must have a shitty management team. They should have been making some serious noise for months by now. Aside from observant boxing fans, no one has even heard of this guy, yet he is arguably the most bonafide welterweight in the world. As good as he is, he won't generate any interest from casual fans. They'll look at him as "just another opponent" along the lines of Guerrero and Ortiz.

    They are doing virtually nothing to put his name out there.

    If it were me, I would have showed up at Floyd's post-fight interview right after his win over Pac, ala Shane Mosley. Imagine the stir that would have created!! Shane HUSTLED his way into a big payday and it worked.

    Khans a bigger name than brook and will obviously generate more money. Brook and Thurman very well might beat Khan but they have absolutely no chance or beating floyd. Out the 3 of them Khan is the only 1 who could beat floyd IMO and I hope floyd picks the easy fight with brook or Thurman.

    Khan may be a bigger name, but is he a currant Champion NO, he had been KO twice his last
    fight he hardly set the World alight did he.
    Trouble with Khan is he is no welter weight, he will get sparked by the bigger punchers if he
    faces Brook, Kell will get to him and KO Khan.

    Khan has the fans.
    Khan can raise the capital.
    Kell Brook is a nobody with no drawing power.

    No name, no money, no Mayweather fight.

    Bigger name = more money it's simple really. As for him not looking that great on his last fight he still won easy think I had it 9-3 or 8-4 and brooks last fight was against Gavin lol there's no way he should of been in the same ring as brook I actually felt sorry for Gavin watching the fight. I agree Kahn could get stopped by big punchers like Thurman etc but he's the only guy and I do mean only guy at 147 that's got a chance of beating floyd.

    Brook deserves it more yes. There are a LOT of fighters that deserve it more.

    I still want Khan to get it.

    Khan woul give Mayweather more trouble than Brook would, Brook is made perfect for Mayweather an it is a 120-108 fight.

    Khan offers something a little different.

    .... an exciting fight, relatively for Floyd, with a knockout on Khan. Which is not at all impossible.

    I don't think anyone would argue Brook has an awful resume. But he can bring the undisputed title if Floyd chooses to hold onto his belts. Going out the undisputed WW champion would be the best way by FAR for Floyd to go out if he wants to fight a WW. Legacy wise the only thing that could top it would be fighting GGG at MW. But the sport isn't about legacy sadly.

    "Deserving" has never been an ideal practiced by Floyd. @Fenster nailed it. Floyd is not taking any risks now and I'd even add Khan to that risk.

    Mayweather should be looking at taking away "0's".

    That means Kell Brook, Keith Thurman, hell maybe even Danny Garcia.

    Khan is yesterday's news.

    Highest reward and lowest risk of getting hurt because Floyd does not punch hard enough to stop anyone.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Absolutely right, Brook has nothing to lose even if he gets beat. Khan is now just a hype job being (hopefully) guided by his US sponsors into a payback fight with Mayweather, which we all know he doesn't deserve on his record.

    It all depends on who Floyd a) thinks he can get away with for a creditable swansong, or b) fights who presnts a greater threat but with more box office. I reckon if b is the case he may take Khan as the easier opponent, sad, cruel but true. Brook has more right to the shot, and in my opinion gives PBF a harder fight.

    Of course it's about the money Khan has no chin does he, as I said he did not empress in his last fight
    Brook is a good fighter, and a good Ingle fighter is very hard to beat.

    Brook does deserve to fight Floyd more than Khan. Boxing is not about deserve it is about being with the right promoter, politics and money.
