Whenever anyone has suggested khan fight brook now, you argue wait until summer when its bigger in a stadium.
SO its kind of hypocritical to see you now complain about a fight "being too late"
Khan-Brook, you're talking waiting a few months to do it at a stadium which is there ready for the fight.
Are you suggesting Floyd planned to fight Cotto 4 years later?
Floyd handpicked Cotto in 2012 because he needed a name opponent to make up for him and Pacquiao ****ting the bed again in their negotiations. It wasn't some 4 year masterplan that he concocted in 2008.

you can act all ridiculous if you want-you know exactly what you wrote.
Did I misunderstand your point? Maybe you meant only when its British fighters do it then its ok.
Doesn't matter, fight is happening.

You can't retrospectively give someone credit for something that at the time they had no idea would happen...LOL!
Kell Brook and Amir Khan as well as both their teams have agreed together that it only makes sense to do that fight in summer time.
How can you NOT see the difference?

You said, unless I am wrong, its always ok to fight later if you make more. Floyd and cotto didn't fight in 08 because Bob wouldn't give Floyd $8 mil. So Floyd then fought him when he left Bob arum (when Manny got stitches and couldn't fight before he went to jail.) for much more money.
You justified Hatton and witter not happening for this exact same reason, more money to fight at a later date. you didn't specify circumstances. yet now you say, fight too late. that is hypocritical.

It doesn't make that much difference to me where Khan and Brook fight but I see the clear logic in them both agreeing to fight in the summer in a stadium. There's a clear strategy specific to that situation.
Hatton and Witter were both at domestic level. There was a clear strategy to build them both up to world level where the fight would mean more.
What was Mayweather's strategy? Oh ok I'll wait for Cotto to get beat up by Margarito, beat up by Pacquiao and boom 4 years later, I'll fight him!
Mayweather-Cotto was the biggest and best fight in boxing in 2008. There was no forward planning to make it happen later. It happened by coincidence.
Wow you have to be a pretty diehard fanboy to actually travel back in time to slurp Floyd's balls.

Carry on. I'm sure you'll be ok with it again when Khan does it.
