Super middleweight contender Carl Froch is picking IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook to defeat Amir Khan if the two domestic rivals ever reach an agreement to step in the ring against each other.
Khan returned on Friday night, winning a tougher than expected twelve round unanimous decision over Chris Algieri at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Brook came back on Saturday night in London, easily stopping amateur champion Frankie Gavin in six rounds.
Froch and Brook are stablemates under promoter Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Sport banner.
He views Khan-Brook as a stadium fight which is capable of drawing 80,000 fans - which Froch did in his rematch with George Groves last May.
"He called Amir Khan out and it would be nice to see that fight," Froch told Sky Sports Box Office. It would be a great fight, a difficult one to pick a winner in - but I would pick Kell for his punching power. But it is a great fight that we should all get to see.
"He [Khan] wasn't great [on Friday] night but he got the win and that's what he does. Floyd Mayweather didn't fancy the job and I am not saying he has got anything to really trouble Mayweather but the top two welterweights in the world, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, are soon going to finish and diseppear.
"So if that big fight's not there for Kell or Amir, it's just a natural progression for the two domestic world-level fighters. It would be potentially an 80,000 fight at Wembley Stadium!"
