Lets be honest, Brook only has a punchers chance against Amir Khan

The problem is, having a puncher's chance against Khan means too much danger to face..... hence the Algeri fight. In all seriousness, the Julio Diaz, Lamont Peterson and Marcos Maidana fight shows that it IS possible to outfight Khan if not out box him. You don't have to knock Khan out to beat him. A fighter needs to be able to weather the early storm and either constantly pressure him or hurt him seriously enough to make him negative. Whether Brook can do that remains to be seen, but he's keen to try it and Khan not so keen to oblige. That was back when Khan never clinched and threw more flurries (stayed longer in the pocket) and got to brave for his own good by taking a shot and feeling the need to stand and trade like hunter said the problem with khan is what he does after taking a big shot, i.e stops boxing and goes to war this subtle changes make khan a harder fighter to beat and probably extend his career the problem with brook he cant fight on the inside, and he doesnt work the body, something petterson can do, as well as maidana. khan struggles with brawlers and guys who have the ability to break his body down and close the gap and fight on the inside so this is what makes the brook fight interesting because the fight will be fought from a distance, and i think both men will clinch a lot, there will be no inside fighting

You can't employ inside fighting against Khan now. He clinches. (Watch the Collazo fight.) So stop this nonsense. Brook is not even good at it. He clinched all night in the Porter fight. Khan will humiliate Brook. Get real. Stop the hate and be objective.

algieri has no pop, like zero. i want khan to be knocked out again

That's what Brook actually admitted and said, "I've got twelve rounds." Khan definitely has the edge. The thing that everyone forgets in the equation is Khan's newfound defensive tactic, and that is clinching, which he employed in the Collazo fight.

Kell is right about Khans chin, but that doesnt mean he would beat khan. Being able to hit hard dont mean you can beat khan. Sure, Brook could beat khan, but it would be an upset. I would favour khan. Brook hasnt beaten anyone yet. I suppose he beat Porter, but i didnt think Porter was that good to be honest. Thats one good win. Another good win for Brook i might change my mind. But even then, i doubt it.

brooks a bigger puncher, but khan has respectable power too. khan is a far superior boxer, brooks boxing is a little basic.

That Khan can't be outboxed is one of the most ridiculous myths around today. I bet Brook could outbox him, but he'd probably stop him if he does because Khan couldn't handle the punches. Does that mean Khan can't be outboxed just because he was knocked out rather than decisioned? According to some people, it would. It's hard to tell because every "boxer" he's fought has been a light puncher, so he's been able to do what he wants, if he was in danger of getting clipped coming in it might be different. I do think it's difficult to outbox Khan because of his speed, output and jab, in and out movement. That style defintely favours him. But he's only really fought one "boxer" who can punch, and that was Garcia who stopped him early. Khan will trouble anyone early, it's after a few rounds when he becomes predictable where things change, jury is still out if he could be outboxed over 12 rounds. But I do think it's a difficult task.

I actually agree. But that punchers chance is high, if/when he lands I can't see how Khan doesn't get hurt.

Just watched the recent Angel Garcia interview, he says he saw Brook vs No No Dan fight, and that Khan will be too much for him I am still 50/50 on this fight, i want to see how Khan looks like against a non-southpaw. He has been lookinh great as of lates, but i am waiting to see how he copes with a boxer who can jab and move around

I'm not really sold on Brook. He's good at a lot of things, but he has showed some weak spots in areas that Khan can definitely take advantage of. I don't think he has great power, I think it has more to do with his timing and good shot placement. He's like Danny Garcia without the monster left-hook. He's just kind of good at a lot of things. Good speed, an alright chin, decently educated feet. But his flaws have showed with fighters who place a bit of aggression. Not the Shawn Porter-esque agression. The problem with Shawn Porter is that his aggression comes more with his feet, which is why he's notorious for smothering his own shots. He shoots the same wide, predictable shots and Brook picked up on it quickly. Kudos to Kell in that fight though, he showed he can adapt to 1-gear fighters. But, I'm talking fighters who can establish aggressiveness without having to be glued to their opponent.. ie Khan. Fighters who can overwhelm from the outside, and if need be, even in the pocket. We got to see it in spurts with Senchenko, Carson Jones, and Jo Jo Dan. Granted, they aren't very special fighters, so their ability to impose that aggressiveness is nerfed compared to Khan.

That's the way a very devoted Khan fan see this fight going. I don't like the non stop bragger but I do like his undefeated countryman Brook. I think Brook would very likely shatter Khan's glass jaw and knock him out. Honestly. It's a huge money fight for both fighters but only Brook wants it. Is Khan afraid to fight Brook? Honestly it sure looks like Khan is afraid to fight Brook.

This thread is more ridiculous than your Obama tattoo

Face it Khan is fighting Algeri. Deal with it.

Yes, which is why Khan is fighting Algeri. (Not that I dislike Chris or think it's a bad fight). The fact is the Brook fight is the fight we all wanted.

Brook will outbox him, before knocking him out. Khan knows the deal, he's avoiding Brook for a reason.

I agree. Unless you have the benefit of fighting Khan in your hometown with a biased referee/judges like Peterson did, it's very difficult to decision Khan. Maidana came kind of close, but he came on too late. Thing with Khan is anytime he get's KO'd, he blames it on being weight drained. People accuse him making excuses, but then he moves up and in a couple yrs he is a contender again. With his style he can be trouble for anybody on any given night. It will be harder to KO him at 147 and with his improved defense under Hunter, but if it happens I wouldn't be surprised to see Khan contending at 154 lbs in a couple yrs.

He is going to knock Khan on to the damn Moon.

Diaz fight already forgotten?
