Comments Thread For: Khan on Brook/Hearn: They Knew About 6/13, Pathetic!

I'm back to hating Khan. http://e0.365dm.com/08/09/402x210/khanko-d800_1175895.jpg?2008-09-06%2023:23:41 http://t.qkme.me/3remih.jpg

Porter is better than Rios, Amir. Stop inventing hoops for Brook to jump through and take the damn fight. You're shook, it's so freakin blatant.

Surprise, surprise! Khan is fighting a light punching JUNIOR welter next in an attempt to get Mayweather or Pac next! There is obviously something wronmg with this guys thought process. The only fight that gets him in a better postion for That BIG fight (payday) he is literally begging for is one where her wins the only version of 147 world title available. The winner of Floyd-Pac might then consider a unification. The fact that it's Brook AND that fight would earn him much more than the Algieri fight . . . . . speaks volumes.

this dude is weird . i hope brook turns his ass down as soon as khan starts begging

Algieri fought Pacquaio and looked terrible. No one will care if Khan beats Algieri. I take your point that Brook isn't that well known in the US. I'd understand if Khan was fighting a Bradley or a Marquez or Cotto but Algieiri....:lol1: Brook has a world title and if Khan wins that, he becomes the only champion in the division alongside Mayweather or Pacquaio. I get your point as well, it's more than valid. That's the only thing that makes me hesitant to side with Khan a 100%, the fact that Brook has a world title. That should be enough of an incentive. He'd become a very attractive option for any of the top names and would be standing on a pedestal for the time being. I'd love to see him fight Bradley. I am not in favor of an Algieri fight at all, I was just pointing out my opinion regarding the Brook situation.

Khan's not fighting Brook, Thurman nor Broner, period. So we all know it'll probably be Algerie. This should be a real cat-fight. No scratching allowed!

Nonsense. Brook vs Thurman is way bigger internationally. You sound like a damn fool.

You know them times when you're looking at a 4 year old kid in the face and saying ''WHY DID YOU GO IN THE CUPBOARDS!?'' and they say ''I didn't I didn't'' with chocolate all over fingers and face

But Dirk, look... Algieri fought Pacquiao. That right there gets him in the discussion with the big names. Automatically, Pacquiao's name will get brought up when the fight is discussed. Performances will be compared and comparisons will start to get made. You see what I mean? He is trying to grab fights and names that spark up discussions related to the big names. By the way, Brook is extremely talented. I would love to see the fight BUT I completely understand Khan at the moment. I don't get a scared vibe from him at all you know. He is willing to risk, just with names that are worth it so should he lose, he'd still gain from the effort and heart given. He's been thru enough trials and setbacks to risk for nothing at this stage in his career. Algieri fought Pacquaio and looked terrible. No one will care if Khan beats Algieri.

That would be all well and good if Khan was fighting some big name next. Instead, it's going to be Chris Algieri - a guy who people only know because he got put on his arse six times in an embarrassing display against Pacquaio. But Dirk, look... Algieri fought Pacquiao.

Be disgusted at the business side of boxing, not Khan. I really can't blame him, he makes some good points. The fight could be bigger, and the majority of people in America have no idea who Brook is. Therefore, if he beats Brook, he still won't get the stateside recognition he is trying to achieve regardless of how good a victory hardcore fans know it is. Khan is aiming for the American names, names that get him recognized and in the spotlight for a potential big fight. He really wishes Brook would be recognized stateside so the fight would be huge and he'd earn out of it not only the title but what he wants which is mainstream recognition that translates into a requested big PPV fight by fans. Brook's best win is Shawn Porter, I mean, come on now. And Brook is good but it's just not worth the effort at this point. Economically and significance wise, the fight still has long ways to go.

Broner or Thurman? nah... It will be Algieri. Haymon doesn't want to cash out Broner yet and I think Khan doesn't want Thurman now (high risk, low reward) so it will probably Algieri, a guy who is known by many people because his Pac fight and also a guy with no serious punching power. In other words it's a safe choice for Khan. He is not even with Haymon so heisn't protected and I guess they want another payday hence a Khan fight will be okay for them. What I don't understand is why Khan thows around 140 lb-ers names like Broner and Algieri? Isn't Khan is a full fledged welterweight now? I think Thurman is just a name drop but I hope that the opponent will be Thurman. The Algieri option is the worst out of the three but sadly it just sounds to logical compared to the Broner and Thurman options. yes, another light hitting, lighter-weight fighter for Khan; about right.

Brook has got to earn it like Khan did. Brooks mindset is OK Amir has been toiling and fighting the best in the trenches for 5 years so I can bypass that 5 years and absorb his accomplishments if I get lucky and beat him. Well Kell, fighting Go Go Dancer and Pawn Shorter isn't the Wonka Golden Ticket. Earn it you Turd. I'm guessing Khan's next opponent will have "earned it" :pat:

Plenty for both to fight. Boyh keep winning its a major fight down road. I would love to see it but not a huge rush

Which is pathetic by Khan. Something which he criticised Bradley for doing. It is a duck, it's a fight that should be made

No a loss to Brook would rule Khan out, if he beats his next opponent he is still in with a shout for the Mayweather Pacqauio winner. He does not want to risk losing to Brook right now. Its not the money. Which is pathetic by Khan. Something which he criticised Bradley for doing.

But he's not getting Mayweather. He's not getting Pacquaio, Cotto, Bradley, Marquez etc. He'll be fighting someone like Chris Algieri - a kickboxer who looked like a bumbling amateur in his last fight which was an embarrassing loss. NO TITLE. NO MONEY. NO PRESTIGE. No a loss to Brook would rule Khan out, if he beats his next opponent he is still in with a shout for the Mayweather Pacqauio winner. He does not want to risk losing to Brook right now. Its not the money.
