this fight makes sense, amir could either go up to 147lbs or kell could easlily make the 140 limit for the WBA title, it would be a huge fight in britain and would generate alot of interest, imo kell beats him by late stoppage.
what are your opinions on it ?.... i don't wanna see another salita fight in britain lol
kell is the number 1 contender for mannys 147lbs title so he's earned the right to fight any of the champs, he said himself he'd make the 140 limit as hes only around 5'8/9 in height, its fights like this that give guys like kell a name oversea's. Goldenboy are gonna choose someone over the hill for amir its a given, ortiz vs khan makes sense but then again they are probs being built up for a big showdown lol
So was Salita to Khan. Khan has the final say who he fights that's the bottom line
A lot of reasons, just to name a few
Brooks has the potential to become a world champ, why risk him against Khan when he can become a world champ and then britian can have a huge super fight say in 2012 or 2013?
Khan is not yet ready to move to 147, no point jumping up and down weights yet since both have plenty of time
Simply put, Khan is trying to make a big name for himself in the States, so why would he fight a guy no one in America knows?
Yes, it shouldnt matter "who knows him" but thats how the world runs right now. Brook has stated that he would drop to 140 but how do we know thats even in the offer FW put forward?
Khan will make alot more money and be facing better opposition than a fighter like Kell Brook. Why does he not push for a Maidana fight or Berto, who is in his own weight division?
I can see this fight happening in acouple of years bug not now. Khan has waaay bigger fish to fry at 140lbs. Kell certainly has bigger fish to fry in his own division. He should be concentrating on them.
Why have you not pushed for a Brook-Pacquiao bout, he is Pac's #1 contender isnt he?
Salita was the mandatory. Maidana was the interim champion.
the interim champion means your the mandatory lol salita was top 5 at 140lbs, don't know why.
its not about who knows who, kell is a #1 contender therefore deserves a shot, infact amir was never regarded as a #1 contender when he fought kotelnik lol
we will see the khan camp knock back frank warrens deal without doubt lol
Brook is a #1 contender in a weight class that's above the division that Khan's champion at right now.
So stop bringing that up like it matters.
So your arguement is that he's #1 Contender?
Then why did you complain about Amir fighting Salita? Salita was #1 Contender.
FW just wants sell Kell brooks name, because outside his family and friends, nobody has heard of him.
Kells a domestic level fighter.
Quit embarrassing yourself
salita wasn't the number 1.... thats a lie marcus maidana was and khan chose to fight salita. My argument is that frank warren has offered a crazy amount of money to turn down so i do not see why he would turn it down and fight a dude over the hill (which you know is the plan for him anyway) zab judah was on twitter saying the fight with him and khan was a done deal.... zab judah ? c'mon he was gifted a decision against mattyse and looked horrible.
all i'm saying is the fight either at 147 or 140 would be an awesome draw over here in britain, kell stops amir all day
its not about who knows who, kell is a #1 contender therefore deserves a shot, infact amir was never regarded as a #1 contender when he fought kotelnik lol

see this is the problem in boxing today, it should not matter who knows who, if you are the number 1 contender then you should get a title shot regardless of who is the champion, amirs resume was terrible when he got a pop at the belt so why does kell have to do anything different, same with bradley he was unknown when he got a crack at the WBC belt, alos brook mentioned himself he'd make 140 so the fight is certainly doable, we will wait and see who goldenboy pick out for khan.......
Right, so Pac should have to fight Kell Brook? and if Pacquiao turned the fight down, then what? Strip him and give a bum like Brook the title?
and anyway He's Pacquiao's #1, NOT KHAN's
Let Brook fight at 140 to prove he can make that weight... then maybe
People like you are the problem in boxing today. Think they know everything, and that so and so is 'doable'. WTF!?
It's not time for this fight yet. Kell has to step up his opposition. Amir has to grow into 147(which he should have no problem in a couple of years). But Kell needs a test, and so far there has been none. Frank needs to get this kid to the States, cause he looks to have the goods.
^Truth.
Maybe a fight Matthew Hatton might be decent a British fight, not on the same scale as Kahn though. With brook though i get the feeling that if brook lost a fight (when he steps up) he will fall right back into obscurity.

What, a promising fighter getting spanked? Which Brook would IMO.
If this fight ever happens, wait until Brook has a title, then it would be a great fight for British boxing.
I doubt many people outside the Brook family or Sheffield has a clue who Kell is.

Fighting Kell in the UK would be good business but the Khan camp is looking for an opponent they can take the majority of the purse that is low risk. A Khan fight will sell anyway in the UK no matter who he fights.
khan vs brook is a great fight for boxing in britain

yeah that would be a good fight. wonder what naseem hamed would have to say about it!
Still a better win than Jennings, is it not?
no it wasn't barrera took tht fight for the money, he had been badly beaten up by a journeyman previous to fighting khan, jennings is a tough boxer to pin down, he uses the ring well.
khan vs brook is a great fight for boxing in britain
Different weight classes. I very much doubt brook could go down in weight
Khan's got fights like Peterson, the winner of Bradley-Alexander, Ortiz etc Can't see him moving up for at least a year, and then it'll be for someone like Berto, and then maybe Mayweather
Kell Brook isn't world class yet. He may be in the future, but certainly not now. And :rofl: at him being Pacquiao's #1 with the WBO. Do you think Pacquiao even knows who he is?
