Before that, I'm told @FloydMayweather may move toward his next opponent, with @AmirKingKhan and @SpecialKBrook in front, w/in 2 weeks.
According to Boxrec, Gavin is #19 and Dan is #22, much lower than Khan's last two opponents, Alexander at #11 and Algieri at #16.
Also, Jo Jo Dan and Frankie Gavin have never held a world title, whereas all of Khan's last four opponents are former world champs, with Alexander being a two-time world champ.
Floyd is vacating his belts, so he clearly has no interest in Brook's belt. Floyd only wants money, and Brook has very little to offer in that regard.
Facts, besides Porter Brook is yet to fight anyone who poses a threat or has a good achievements in boxing. Also, Mayweather didn't pay the WBO sanctioning fee so that belt is vacant.
Out of the two for September, it should be Brook. He's undefeated, and a worthy fighter.
Khan on the other hand has a glass jaw, has been beaten twice, has looked terrible in every fight since and hand-picks safe fights, he deserves nothing.
Khan is scared to even fight Brook in his own back yard... that says it all.
Nobody wants Khan vs Mayweather, Khan just wants a payday, he's not bothered about boxing, his legacy or putting on a show and has done nothing to deserve a rematch. Even Algeri thought he won against Khan....
Brook has is undefeated streak on the line and has pride.

You seem to be conveniently omitting the fact that Brook won his title by beating a guy who pummeled Alexander and softened him up for Khan
... Jo Jo Dan and Frankie Gavin were both top-15 welterweights when Brook fought them; just because Brook was a level/levels better than them doesn't diminish the fact that they both were top 15 welters .
Who has Amir Khan actually beat? Devon Alexander,

No he has that title,and that is the only thing either has that Floyd wants

1) Eddie Hearn seems to be doing a ton of current (and future) business with Haymon.
2) Eddie Hearn comes to the table with the exclusive deal with Sky Sports and the ability to have the fight on Sky Box Office/market the fight also on general UK TV (the best that Khan can hope for is Box Nation, the station that has basically broadcast every one of his fights for the last five years, ponies up a ton of money)
Hearn seems to do a pretty good job of just doing good business; discuss whatever possible deals between the principals, keeping the press out of things (the Khan situation has spilled into the press because, as the talks have gone on, Hearn seems to think that Khan simply doesn't want the fight, at any cost, regardless of what he says publicly). A similar situation also emerging in the Frampton-Quigg talks.
Just because he's not telling the public about it, doesn't mean that talks aren't happening.
If Khan v Mayweather happens it'll be Sky Box Office. Make no bones about it, Sky can hype the shít outta that and make a ton of money. I'm sure Eddie and Sky can make allowances if it's lining their pockets.
I think he's a better welterweight. I was impressed with the way Kell cut the ring off against Gavin who if anything has decent footwork. My first choice would be Thurman, but he's not available. If Khan looked better against Algieri, I would be fine with it but he showed the same vulnerabilities. I'm a fan of all three fighters so I don't really care what happens. Also, I've wanted to see Garcia-Khan II for a while.
Any real welter cud walk through Gavin
He's a frail weak lookin kid, he's not even cut out for 140, let alone 147
Why?.........

well since most would agree that KHAN would beat Brook, I wanna see Khan fight Mayweather. Speed is the only thing i can see that will give mayweather problems. He's just too good for everyone else.
Only chance is Khan's speed and being 10 years younger
I don't know how you came to that conclusion or under what authority, because I'm reading something a lot different, on this forum, ESB, FH and others.
Brook deserves it much more than Khan. He's a champion and Khan ducked him anyway.
Mayweather should choose Brook and show Khan that you have to pay your dues to get a shot. Khan has been ducking fights for 2 years or more now trying to angle himself into a Mayweather fight. At least Brook went over and fought a champion who was massively hyped at the time and took his belt, then fought his mandatory. Fair enough Gavin wasn't a great opponent but it's not Brooks fault he couldn't get Khan in the ring.
Man Khan got mauled in the Maidana fight. Stumbling around like a drunk fool for the last 6 rounds. He may have gotten the nod on the scorecards but I don't know how you can feel proud of that victory as a Khan fan.
So not only are u a fa*got but ur also a blind fa*got
Mayweather hasn't got around to dropping his belts yet, has he? What better way to go out than to unify all the belts at 147?
Kell won't beat Mayweather either, but he's much better than Khan and would be a unification. Would be absolutely hilarious if Khan loses that fight to Brook.
I think Floyd should, just "to be a c*nt about it" . . . as Khan says!
IMO with the right game plan Khan will give Floyd fits.
Styles make fights and i think Khan v Floyd would be fun.
WARKhan!!!!!! I wanna see what the kid can do against Floyd. :boxing::boxing:
Between the two, I'd rather see Brook get the fight. He's got a title and an undefeated record. No YouTube videos of him getting stretched by 2 separate guys either.
After beating Maidana, had Khan fought Jo Jo Dan and Frankie Gavin level opponents for the rest of his career, he'd only have that 1 loss on his record
and people like u wud be telling us Khan doesnt deserve the Floyd fight because he fought domestic level bums back to back
Imagine the hilarity if Mayweather picks Brook and he throws it in Kahn's face every second of the lead up...
Hell imagine if Brook won and kahn starts begging for a shot!? Lol
The bookies know what they're talking about. The casual fans on this site don't.
The people choosing Brook must either be casual fans or just trolling.
No he has that title,and that is the only thing either has that Floyd wants
