    Same here, but I'm really not sure of Brook's willingness to take more punches to his damaged orbital bones. He looked terrible vs Crawford. Khan has been training with the latter, but he himself has a glass jaw. Really couldn't say, as of now.
    Then again , who looks good vs Bud ?
    I ain’t a fan of either but if this makes Khon , cause that’s all he is a con job , go away well then hell yeah Brooks
    Hey maybe we get two birds with one stone
    Ahhhh , wishful thinking

          We should do Khan Vs Brook. It's a big enough fight and you can make a case for every outcome lol.

              Don't forget to include Munguia vs Ballard and Abdullaev vs Linares...

                Ha ha how could we possibly pass on that pair of Earth shaking matchups? I did give brief consideration to Makhmudov vs Wach though...

                Honestly it terms of world stage relevance even Khan vs Brook probably wasn't essential at this point but in terms of name recogniton and in recognition of their almost epic unconsummated UK rivalry I kinda had to include under the 'fights of great fan interest' caveat, at least it is for UK fans. Plus of course it's a really difficult one to predict, at least to my mind. I know who I think's gonna win but I fully admit it could just as easily be a whitewash for the other guy. really can't tell.

                  I don't think this fight goes to a draw. It's either a KO by either of I would have thought a Khan win if it goes the distance. I'd think the judges will try to find a winner for the sake of the fighters and the fans.

                    After having watched "The Gloves Are Off" with the pair, I realized that Brook appears to be worse than Khan in terms of lack of confidence. Those broken eye sockets have probably made him rather insecure. As of now, most of my money would go on Khan late, with a smaller chunk on a draw because one never knows what happens on a UK ring these days

                      Charlo vs Castano II off...

                      I'll have to start using multipliers sooner than expected, unless we retrieve those fabulous Russian cards
