In your opinion, which fight would you give Amir Khan more respect for taking?
IBF Champ Kell Brook 35-0 (25KO) or
Danny Garcia 32-0 (18KO)
First option is ranked #1 in the world and features regularly on Ring's P4P list.
Option #2 has a devastating KO over Khan.
Which would you rather see and which would give Khan more respect?
He's beat better people hasnt he? He's beat khan hasn't he? The best brook has to offer is some think brook could beast khan, whilst Garcia actually has!
Why did you have to ask?
Wow just asking for your opinion. No need for all that :lol1:
Garcia is a good fighter, but he's had some dodgy performances recently. But as I said there's the angle of avenging the KO loss.
So you're still mentioning Khan to keep Brook's lottery ticket relevant I see.
The bigger joke is still Brook no matter how you spin it. Look at him, he's fighting Vargas who finally made a name by beating Sadam Ali. What if Vargas lost, or won in a boring UD? Brook would have had no dance partner to speak of. Who ducked who? Garcia or Brook? Why was Brook vs Garcia never negotiated?
Brook Garcia wasn't seriously negotiated because Hearn really and truly knows Brook isn't worth the outlay, aj is his main man and Brook is a total fool for not seeing this.

Since Khan brings nothing to the table versus Brook, and hasn't earnt his shot against Brook he should remain in the states and fight for the WBC where he is mandatory :)
Khan has already been decimated by Garcia so he could try and avenge that loss but he will get decimated again.
If he fought Brook it would be a huge fight in the UK and would bring more money. Khan wants none of Brook as he knows it would mean Brook is the top guy in Britain
Why is Garcia more respectable in your opinion?

Why did you have to ask?
When did garcia have speed?
"Swift", baby. He was never much of a footwork and movement guy, but he had quick, sharp counters.
His ability to do that just hasn't carried with him. You see him looking for them but falling just a half step behind where he wants to be. Might be age, weight, or both but he's not as quick on the draw as he used to be and his whole style is based on that aspect.
I just re-read and finally realised what you meant, that the question was about who the better fight would be for KAHN (I thought you were asking who the bigger win for Garcia is). Guess it doesn't change my answer a whole lot but explains why I wasn't answering the direct question.
I might mean toward Brook being a tougher choice. Hard to get around the fact that Garcia finished Khan but Danny has been looking vulnerable ever since. His speed is gone, and timing is suffering because of it. Kahn is as good as ever and might be able to beat a declining Garcia. Brook will be tough Kahn, but isn't as proven a fighter as Garcia. Yes
Yea, close but I might give him more credit for Brook, given my predictions about Garcia.

I think you can make cases for each guy, both of them are top fighters and would more than likely beat Khan anyway.
It just seems to me that either of these guys represent Khan's last chance for a payday. He's not fighting Thurman, Porter, Spence or any of the 154 guys UNLESS Cotto springs a quick one and calls him.
Khan would get KTFO by Cotto too.
If not Garcia or Brook, then some random has-been, which would be sad.
I think Brook is the better fighter, but Garcia the more proven, although at another weight.
I would respect Khan for facing a guy he lost to (for the first time in his career), but also respect him for growing a pair and face his fears.

Honestly, I'd put it equal. If Brook had just one more good name under his belt, or if he looks stunning in the Vargas fight, I'd lean toward Brook. As it stands, I'd give him equal credit.

Amir Khan vs Kell Brook is a fight that means a lot in Khan's home country; we've already seen Garcia-Khan and Amir has yet to do anything that would make you think the fight would go differently.
book Brook vs Khan at Wembley, have that fight go the way it goes, and move on
Yeah but for Khan - That's the question.
Would you give him more respect for stepping in with Garcia or stepping in with Brook?
