    Who Do Brits Like More Between Kell & Amir

    who more liked by the British

    my American opinion: I always liked Kell more. He's the better boxer and counterpuncher

    Amir is too sloppy for my tastes

    Amir Khan is a pretty much a household name. Kell Brook isn't.

    Prime Kell was a more intelligent and well-rounded boxer.

      I'd say in terms of hardcore UK boxing fans, the edge would likely go to Brook, but as far as casual boxing fans, Khan by an absolute mile. Much bigger name on the whole. I like both guys. The Golovkin decision ruined Brook, but he still went and gave Spence a great fight after that. And Khan early in his career got some good wins and really went for the American market. Never hit the highest heights, but could certainly claim to be world-class. Maidana and Porter both being great wins for each guy. I feel as though Khan has the better resume.

      Who wins? Right now, absolutely no idea. 3-4 years ago I strongly would go with Brook, a decade ago Khan. Nash out.

        Amir Khan.

        For what reason, I'll never know.

          Amir is more well known, so has more fans, but he's Pakistani, so he also has more haters sadly.

              Amir Khan sadly. I think fast hands give them pleasure. Brook is much more complete fighter. Especially as prime vs prime.

                  Honestly I prefer Khan.

                  Khan I think maxed his potential, with unfortunate punch resistance as bad as his there was always going to be a limit to where he could get to.

                  Brook on the other hand had a lot more natural ability than Khan however his entire career was like one bad decision after the next and as a result he will go down as a big wasted talent.

                  People forget about it now but Khans win over Maidana was epic, everyone on here had been saying for years how Khan would NEVER fight Maidana and how Maidana would lay him out cold with a jab etc but Khan did fight him, floored him and beat him and took his best punch imo, I'm pretty sure sheer spite of his haters kept him up in round 10 or whenever it was Maidana landed that overhand right.

                  Brook has never had a win like that, his best is shading Porter who no offence to Porter but he loses to everyone that's prime and world level.

                  But yeah that win was hilarious, there was so much salt after it, its why I hope AJ beats Usyk I just love seeing forum meltdowns.

                    Kell icked off too much in the UK

                    had he made America his 2nd home the way Amir did

                    He would have developed into a much better fighter

                    Kell Americanized too late into his career
