Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Aims To Finish Out Career In UK; Still Eyes Brook Fight: 'You Think I'm Scared Of Kell?'

[STREET CLEANER]

Khan for what ever reason has been avoiding Brook, his really last big fight that he can make decent money. At this point the fighter that is less shot wins. Khan has always been to brave for his chin.

So you’re saying that taking a tougher fight for less money in your opinion makes you a coward?

Khan made more vs Canelo than he’d have made vs Brook anyway. That fight was huge done like 600k buys in the US.

They were both ****** taking fights against Middleweight’s they had no business being in the same ring as but that doesn’t make them cowardly. If anything it’s the opposite. That’s what I was laughing at.

If I offered you 10 million to take a punch from Wilder, would that make you courageous for accepting the deal? Both of them had fights where any punch they land would be seen as an over-performance and they'd get credit from the sports world.

I get what you're saying. Boxing is dangerous especially when you fight a bigger man. That takes courage. I shouldn't have said coward. That's overstating things. But it takes more courage to fight an even opponent where you are truly staking your rep.

After seeing Khan's performance against Crawford, you see he's a business-first fighter. He's not laying it all out to win. He hasn't in years.

Ben Askren said he felt zero pressure facing a much bigger guy in Jake Paul because the match meant nothing to his rep. So what if he gets KOed? He's been KOed before.

Here you go. Eddie Hearn says Khan would make money facing Brook than Crawford. He chose Crawford because no one will care and it will not damage his rep if he loses to a P4P best. But if he loses to Brook, then he loses something in the perception of him.

they’re probably taking exception to the word coward. That wasn’t a cowardly move. It’s was plain ****** and arguably two of the dumbest decisions you’ll ever see any boxer make but it wasn’t cowardly.

C’mon man anything that starts with “Eddie Hearn says” lacks any credibility. Hearn is quite possibly the most dishonest man in boxing and he was desperate to make Khan-Brook for his own financial gain. He’s unquestionably bias.

I don’t blame Khan for fighting Crawford over Brook. Bigger fight against a better fighter. I actually commend Khan for facing a P4P talent instead of a much easier payday vs a Brook who hadn’t posted a notable win since 2014. Khan had way more to gain vs Crawford including a
World title and international acclaim, it was a no brainer to face Crawford over Brook in all honesty.

For me Khan-Brook always boiled down to the fact that Brook desperately needed Khan but Khan never needed Brook whatsoever. Now they’re both shot and Khan no longer has the pull he once had stateside, he’s probably happy to give Brook the payday and also cash in on the UK market himself. It’s a shame Brook wasted so much time chasing Khan around cause he was good fighter too at one point, he never capitalised on that Porter win whatsoever and wasted his momentum fighting scrubs like JoJo Dan and Bizier.

Yeah man, I’m cool with what you said, it was only the cowardly thing I disagreed with. I don’t disagree they were ****** fights to take whatsoever. They both had no chance of winning.

And yeah Khan’s definitely a business type first fighter, he’s chasing paydays and notoriety and has been since he left 140 and that’s what mean by he had far more to gain vs Crawford. I think we’re pretty much on the same page but it just got lost in translation.
