Kell brook has been fed straght come foreward b level fighters. he has poor head movement, poor footwork. The only thing that impresses me is he has good crisp punching, when hes allowed to offload his shots.
But Khan has to much footwork and i beleive KHAN that he destroyed brook.
After Khan beats Alexnader i can see this fight happenning and Khan winning within 6.

Khan doesn't get past Alexander and I'm a Khan fan. Alexander will hit Khan often and hurt him at least 60% of the time.
If Khan/Brook happens I see a similar situation, Khan's punch resistance has digressed over the last year, he gets wobbled by every punch that hits him and Hunter has put him in two minds, at least with the far superior Roach he knew he was an offensive fighter but with Hunter he has no idea what his identity is.
I did not say that and you are missing the point. Peterson is NOT THAT GOOD to begin with so lets say his performance was enhanced you can still make a judgement off his opponent's performance taking that into account.
im sorry lamont peederson lost the fight in the first place.
But to claim it didn't effect his performance is ridiculous. He is a good inside fighter, steroids alone gives you a 10 percent improvement before you have even trained.
No way would lucas mattyse destroyed lamaont inside 3 rounds if he wasn't clean(cleaner)
I don't think as much of Khan as you do. His close get of the canvas win over mediocre Diaz tells me Khan is not anywhere near as good as he used to be when he beat Maidana and Judah.I think Alexander will knock him out and Brook would do the same.They are both much bigger, better and harder punching fighters than Diaz. If Khan beats Alexander then he might beat Brock as well but I think Alexander will beat Khan.
Harder punchers and Alexander shouldn't go in the same sentence.

I agree with this really.
Ultimately, these boxers are only as good as their last fight.
I wouldn't feel comfortable laying money down on Khan he's not looked particularly good for 4 fights now.

that's unfair.... cos what ur basically saying is.... kell's not got enough to box with khan.... which is completely false....
cos if maidana can stay with khan over 12rounds.... kell can do it....
if danny garcia can time khan, kell can do it....
Why? Garcia and Maidana have been operating at world level for years. You act like they are beneath Brook who has been operating at Euro/Fringe level.
Prescott became irrelevant on his own by continuously losing. He was off-balance/squared up against Diaz, it was a flash KD.
Kendall Holt and a past it Morales are better than anyone on Brook's resume.
I've never said it was a dead cert either way, that's pretty much what I'm arguing against. It's the Brook fans who somehow think this is a slam dunk even though Brook has done fuk all at world level. Everyone now thinks that anyone who can punch harder than Malignaggi KO's Khan and it's pretty stupid.

Prescott didn't help himself but I don't think Khan's team at the time had any intention of going back there. Building him back up against people less likely to hurt him (And old Barrera, ***an etc) and basically acting like it never happened was the course they were set on. I'll give you Holt but Morales was far too long in the tooth even if the talent was still there the first time.
You might be arguing against Brook fans predicting a blowout, but I think that's in response to the sentiment of the thread. A Khan fan predicting a blowout for Khan when he's never even faced a welterweight. We don't know how his power transfers or what his resistance will be like to the average puncher at 147lbs. You aren't trying to reason the TS out who is pretty OTT as well.
Khan might have been a "kid" but he still does the same stupid things and still can't take a decent shot. Look, I think Khan a very fighter with bags of heart, but his self awareness, or lack of it, has always been the worst flaw of all. He claims to make progress but still gets caught mid flurry by the left hook...... and blamed it on being off balance against Diaz (Really)? Prescott became irrelevant by sweeping the issue under the carpet... par for the course.
Brook hasn't proved himself the better fighter, but neither had Garcia at the time he faced Khan. That's the point. Brook may not have the resume, but I think he has enough to time and hurt Khan badly. It's no dead cert and never can be with chin like Khan's.

Khan was a kid at lightweight when he lost to Prescott. I think Garcia has proven he is a world class fighter.
Looked impressive the whole fight? Brook didn't do that either time against Carson Jones ffs!
As for fighting the people that beat him - he signed the PEDerson rematch before he failed a drug test and has repeatedly said he wants the Garcia fight again. Prescott is just far too irrelevant now

Who was Prescott's best win before splatting Khan, or Garcia's really, for that matter?
Khan might have been mixing around some good fighters but has looked impressive the whole fight against Kotelnik (fringe), Judah and Malignaggi. He usually gets shake, rattled and rolled because he is fast but pretty flawed. Besides average footwork, the thing I've noticed is that he throws punches from his waist when throwing combos. And is pretty predictable for someone who can time him. Oh, and another thing, his inside game is poor.
Brook may not be the best, but he has decent enough technique to time Khan and he has the power to hurt him. It's not a blow out either way. I still wish Khan could back up his "back bigger and better" against the people who whooped him, but it never seems to happen.

He has been operating at world level for what? 5 years now or something and has one loss to Garcia. He was boxing his head off before that left hook as well. He really beat Peterson even though he was facing a man who was juiced off his tits. Wins over Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah also.
People are labelling Brook world class and his best win is a rematch victory over Carson Jones or Matt Hatton.
