Hall of Famer Prince Naseem Hamed, now 41-years-old, would like to see his close friend Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs) mix it up with IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (35-0, 24KOs).
Both fighters were in action last month, with Khan gutting out a decision victory over Chris Algieri and Brook blowing past domestic challenger Frankie Gavin.
Khan-Brook is one of the biggest fights to be made in the UK, but the Bolton boxer is fixated on landing a fight with WBC/WBA/WBO welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Hamed, who is also friendly with Brook, has no idea why Khan is brushing off the fight. As far as the winner, Hamed sees it a dead even 50-50 proposition.
"I want to see Amir fight Kell Brook and I want to see the big British blockbuster at Wembley," Hamed told scribe Nick Parkinson. "I don't see why Amir is overlooking Kell. You have a world champion on your doorstep with a legitimate world championship"
"I see a knockout or victory on points, and you all know who's going to do the KO and who will win on points. Amir has shown something in his fight against Devon Alexander, he's definitely upped his skills and he's feeling very confident with his new trainer. I think it's a 50-50 fight."
