Amir Khan gave an interview to Skysports news this evening where he said He'll definitely ready to fight the winner or Shawn Porter vs Kell Brook fight and said fighting Kell Brook (if he beats Porter) at Wembley will be huge also talks about Mayweather,Pacquiao and JMM watch the interview video here.
He said in the interview it's not about belts at this stage as it is about big fights so why go on about Brook getting a belt? A Brook fight would be much bigger than fighting the likes of Alexander or Guerrero.Unless he gets Manny, Floyd or JMM next I don't see why Khan just doesn't fight Brook.
Brook getting a belt would make it even bigger and most of all "meaningful" for Khan. At this point if Khan beats Brook it'll be "oh he beat a hype job" and if Khan loses, well his career goes down the drain. Sure, he'll make good $ in the process, but it isn't worth losing to an up and comer than it would've if it was Collazo. If Khan beats Brook the "IBF champ" it'll mean something. Khan wants the fight really bad as well, but Brook has to make it meaningful for him. A win over Collazo meant more for Khan than it would've if he beat Brook.
Khan can fight Guerrero or even Maidana in a rematch and I'm sure you'd agree those fights mean more for Khan's career than Brook.

Why would Khan not say this?
Brook has been gunning for a Khan fight, and IF he somehow does beat Porter, Khan gets a big domestic fight plus a title shot.
Probably not gonna happen though because Porter will likely do Brook in
will he fight porter if he retains his belt? man this guy never shut up
He was invited on TV for an interview. What else was he supposed to do? Sit quietly and not answer their questions?
God, I am so sick of Khan. Brook is already ranked well ahead of Khan in the welterweight division. Brook is undefeated and Khan has been KOed twice. Brook has tried and tried to get a fight with Khan and Khan always turns him down saying Brook doesn't deserve to fight him. If Brook beats Porter he would be ranked even further ahead of Khan. Maybe Khan should have to beat Thurman to earn a shot at Brook if Brook beats Porter.
You can't be serious? Khan is a 100 times bigger name/draw than Kell Brook (which ever way you look at it) and fought better opposition in Olympics alone than Kell Brook fought in his whole career.
Khan vs Brook makes absolutely No sense what so ever right now, Brook hasn't even fought a D level fighter yet, has only fought once away from home and how many people in the Uk (apart from Hardcore boxing fans) actually know who Kell Brook is? If Brook beats Porter then he'll get the recognition of not only the Uk fans but also of he US public,also Khan vs Brook at Wembley in December would be huge.
A sh*tload more than those who knew Paul McCloskey.
Khan-Brook is already a massive fight in the UK.
If Brook beats Porter, well all the respect and credit to him, but most likely it will be a WW version of Rose vs Andrade.
Khan is the man the winner of this fight will be getting next late this year. Porter is no sell and one big fight in States doesn't mean Brook is an established name.
Khan is sometimes prone to lie :lol1: {Ward, contracts, imaginary conversations with Floyd etc...} So, don't expect any verifiable proof to be forthcoming.
Like I stated in another thread, in a way I'm rooting for Brook to upset Porter. And then giving Khan the finger and pushing for a fight with Floyd. This would be karma served up proper, for all the times Khan snubbed him.
Looks like you still haven't recovered from the fact Khan beat Collazo. :bottle:
He said Floyd has always said Amir Khan would give him problems because of his hand speed. Does anyone have proof of him saying this? Also, would he fight Porter if he beats Brook?

I'd say this is worse, seing as Khan is trying to dictate despite having no belt...and a single fight at 147.

I can understand khan not wanting to risk losing to a guy who hasn't beat anyone so its understandable for khan to want Brook to have Porter on his resume.
But that's a little sad for Brook as he may not beat Porter. Brook might feel hard done by, as Groves never had to beat anyone to fight Froch. It would be like Groves having to beat Kessler to get a fight with Froch.

I don't think anyone questioned whether Khan would fight Brook or not, if Brook was able to become relevant enough to fight. A win against Porter would certainly do that for him (Brook.)
