Amir Khan is a controversial, exciting and highly divisive fighter.
His last win of note was Zab Judah or Marco's Maidana over 3 years ago.
This week he announced to his fans that he would NOT be accepting a title fight with domestic rival and IBF WW Champion Kell Brook.
Why?
I like what Khan is doing. Ignore the beggar.
What I don't understand is why is Brook not pursuing Thurman? Why is he interested in, like everyone else is saying, a nobody like Khan? Is he avoiding Thurman or what?
Thurman vs Brook (Undefeated vs Undefeated) is way bigger internationally.
Forget the domestic rivalry crap.
Just like Floyd ignored beggar Khan, right?

It's the name Hearn and brook keep throwing around...
Thurman got em shook right
Just like brook has khan shook
Ok - Rios may be mentioned, but Khan has been offered the fight at Wembley Stadium June 12th (before Ramamdan).
I like Rios, but he is not on the same level as Brook or Khan.
Don't tell me Brook would RATHER fight Rios than Khan.
Let's use same logic for brook
Why isn't brook calling out Bradley, maidana and Thurman?????
Why a semi-retired Marquez who is injured?
And Brandon rios who lost to Abril, and has never done anything worth of note at welterweight?
Is he scared of Bradley , maidana and Thurman ??
Lol what kind of logic is that? :lol1:
Doesn't make sense at all.
Rios is irrelevant, for either Khan or Brook.
It's the name Hearn and brook keep throwing around...
Thurman got em shook right
Just like brook has khan shook
Any boxer fights for 2 things.
Money and Titles.
This is why I can't understand Khan's decision not to accept a fight with Brook.
This ^^^^^^^
You don't have to be a Khan hater to wonder wtf he's thinking, not taking the June brook fight! Talking rubbish if he thinks there's not enough time haha, the biggest fight off this millennium gets announced 2 months prior and that's been plenty for drumming up interest. With so much casual interest in the WW division, its PRIME TIME to market the only other fight with ww world title, and almost sure to be a future unification opportunity
Surely Khan wants the biggest fights and the biggest paydays?
So does Brook.
The biggest fights are for the belts.
Manny is fighting Floyd.
Brook has a belt and is willing to fight.
Khan isn't.
Thanks for not answering the question
Rios isn't a bigger fight than maidana, Bradley and Thurman

This IS the same Khan that has 2ce campaigned to fight Mayweather now right?
Yeah that guy is REALLY sidestepping Brook because he is afraid to lose, even though he's lost previously anyway.
Wake up!
Anyhow isn't there another source here having Khan challenging Brook?
Bit ironic don't you think?
Khans a weird one. I reaction he'd box kells ears off but it seems he wants to wait till next year and hope kell takes a loss before he gets there. I have no problem with khan ducking brook if he's gunna beat broners ass or fight thurman but if not then yes khan ducked the fight again. Preparing to download iNeck upgrade v3.0.1
brook wants to go all in to beat khan. take all the work khan has done.. beat him in the uk, so he can shore up uk support...in order to stay in the uk and fight jojo dan forever.
he doesnt wanna come back to the us and do the dirty work like khan has! brook looking for a shortcut
I dunno man, that's quite a conspiracy theory...
Brook won his title in the the US after all.
Something Khan never did.

There are very few fights acceptable enough where not fighting Brook can be excused. It's his best option. He'll need some very good options to make it okay.
I believe that only Bradley or Thurman would be acceptable substitutes for not fighting Brook.
Maybe Porter...

I agree 100%.
Brook has become too high a risk for Khan.
That is the only explanation that he is still waiting on Floyd or Manny.
A loss to Brook and his career could be over - but even then he'd get a huge payday, more than he would if he fought Floyd...
I'd love to see the fight. It would be great British domestic fight. Hopefully we get to see it in the near future
