Amir khan's bizarre kell brook blast: "there's talk about him being gay"

[Batman]

Sounds like Khan is angling for a date rather than a fight.

Who gives a fuck

[Primo Carnera]

Khan makes me laugh , he seriously does. I saw this a few days ago and I'm amazed that:
a. it didn't create an almighty stink and
b. That Brook never replied.
but the thing is , I think that everybody in the Boxing World knows that these irrational outbursts like this and the "AJ Fucked my missus" one, are down to the fact that this cunt is definitely on drugs.
nobody is this thick, he is definitely on some serious shit.
for the record, I don't really want the fight anymore. Why should we feed Khan and Brook's pension fund with this meaningless bullshit of a fight.

Let’s get this right..Khan doesn’t need Brook.

Brook is more famous for his two losses than the fights he won.

Solid fighter, but his constant calling out of Khan is cringeworthy.

Khans legacy is already cemented and he can do what he wants..no matter what we all think of him..he creates excitement and people always seem to pay to watch.

Nice cheerleading They both need each other as it’s the most bankable fight that is winnable for either in the near future. It’s a fight that should have happened years ago, but still makes the most sense for both as far as I can see. I would’ve said khan had a very slim chance, but brook didn’t look good to me last time out, who knows, khan hasn’t looke great either for years. Khan is just as known for his losses though, and he never beat anybody Brook wouldn’t have(granted he fought lighter for most of his career. The talk is of him fighting Crawford instead of Brook. Either that’s a ploy to negotiate, or just a terrible decision, he’d get clowned in that fight.

I do think Brook, or his people, were foolish to leave it so long to start chasing big fights. If he is on the decline now, he really shortened what could have been a much better career imo.

When was the last time Khan won a meaningful fight?

[X]

Yes, Brook's career has been strange considering his talent.

He was avoided for years on the way up, because he was big, good and very very difficult to look good against.

He always struggled with making weight, and he hated dieting so did binge a bit between fights. He never seemed to get the big breaks, but probably didn't help by taking far too much time off between fights (although some if that was due to his wild lifestyle)

To this day, I really do not know what they were thinking by throwing him in against Golovkin

Jumping up TWO weight divisions to fight a genuine middleweight destroyer and the most feared man in boxing at the time. Pure madness.

Maybe they calculated that Brook had nothing to lose, and he could come again after a loss ..... but nobody has ever been the same after being defeated by GGG. And Brooke has not been the same either.

[El Kabong]

Kell Brook should still be so much more now than what he is considered...Khan was given everything on a silver platter and just kept getting chinned. Brook should be in the thick of things at 147-154 right now instead of taking this kind of All British fight he's only 32 he should be king of a division right now.


That GGG fight was just atrocious management I have no idea what they were thinking there. Now Brook vs Canelo at 154 would have been better but still very dangerous.

[Spicoli]

Khan has been running a long con for quite some time. He's the definition of being on borrowed time and grasping at straws for relevance and now he's grasping at horse shat stereotypes. Brook legitimately has the substance and more well rounded game of the two and while the Golovkin jump was not terribly smart and proved long term costly.. he didn't skirt around top competition on the come back he faced the 147 top dog Spence and he nearly dominates his showcases. Khan is a random grab bag on consistent uncertainty who hasn't looked spectacular in about 8 yrs and needs to worry more about getting sucked into wars with a Samuel Vargas and repeatedly punched in the face.

This is spot on

[p4pking]

What is khans legacy though? He's defined by his losses too... It's not as if he's bound for the HOF, or that beating brook wouldn't be the highlight of his career. Could be wrong, but he probably sells a lot of tickets for the fact that he's Muslim/from Pakistan? I give him credit for taking challenges, but if that's what he intends to do from here on, why not brook? Its as good a time as any, brook looks like he could be slipping and making the weight could be hard on him. Who makes more sense from a risk reward standpoint?

[Fenster]

Khan was famous before he turned pro, he was Britain's only representative at the Olympics where he got a silver medal. And yes a 17-year-old British/Asian kid was an obvious ticket to stardom. His amateur rematch with Kinedelan (the gold medalist) was primetime live saturday night in front of millions on terrestrial tv. He was PPV when still British title level.

Khan doesn't have a great legacy but certainly a solid world-level one. He has plenty of proven world-class wins (Maidana, Zab, Kotelnik, Paulie, Peterson, Collazo and a bunch of exciting fights). He might get in the HOF, as he's a crossover muslim star - headlining several Vegas shows - who has done shitloads for charity in Pakistan/middle east and the UK/US.

But ultimately his career went from hero to zero.

Without doubt he'll be remembered for being ironed out, getting up to all kinds of embarrassing shit outside the ring and ducking Brook.

[Gandalf]

His fights were NOT PPV level though. They were journeyman career set ups fleecing fans due to hype. This is why many did not like him. It was like how a boyband is presented. It is absurd how British fans are fleeced. I even think the price of Whyte/Chisora is a con job. How much must it cost to be a fight fan? If the fans have to pay PPV they should vote who fights who.

I would still rather watch Khan vs Crawford.

Khan is exciting and has the worldwide appeal.

Did Brook even beat Porter?

After Porter, why was he not calling out all the other top guys at 147?!..it was the perfect time.

Brook is known for the two courageous losses that nearly lost him an eye.

Khan can do anything he wants..Brook needs this fight as he isn’t very confident about attacking the top guys at 154.

I do want to see the fight.. but I totally understand the business side of things and the fact that Khan loves being arrogant in this situation as he knows he could easily loose.

[smashup]

After Brooks dubious win over Porter he went on a run of fighting piss poor fighters... Jo Jo Dan is one pathetic example.
He was happy to tread water and keep his belt by taking easy fights.
Just compare Khan and Brooks best wins, Khan wipes the floor with him for name scalps.
Its not even close.
