Comments Thread For: Kell Brook-Amir Khan: Is Later Better Than Never?

[Boskop]

This gonna be a real rivalry fight, I hope its going to be as good as the buildup. Some people talk about these guys as if they were 40+, with both at 35 and against someone sort of at their own weight, its a 50 fifty fight.
Lets goooo

Faded timing vs Faded speed - Brook late.

people are crying saying they arent interested cause they are washed up but lets not pretend that theres great match ups going on all the time. it will be a more entertaining fight and build up than most the trash we see every weekend

Late? Both guys are 35. Prime vs Prime - Real talk. As Khan said, he is better now than he was at 25 after training with the great Crawford. Much better now than when he was wasting his time with the clueless Freddie Roach. And Brook is now not merely human, but a man with superpowered robot eyes. This is the best vs the best, so cough up the £20 for the PPV, get the beers in and enjoy the night. Nash out.

35 is definitely not prime - whether the fighter has taken lots of punishment or not. So funny people would say that 35 is prime now. When Sugar Ray thought that Hagler had faded and took the fight, Hagler was 32. Khan and Brook are both shot, but hey, should be an entertaining fight.

They're both shot to **** so I personally don't care about this fight. Actually quite pissed off that it didn't happen when it should have. Each to their own though.

Notice the way NOBODY wants to admit that they are fans of any fighter, who is not world champion or a big prospect. What is all that about? Soon as somebody loses people distance themselves from fighters etc

Not for nothing but my favorite active fighter is Dereck Chisora. I don't even keep track of how many losses he has and it doesn't really matter because he always brings it.

When I was a kid, I was a big fan of Alex "The Destroyer" Stewart and Frans Botha. They lost plenty but rooted for them anyway.

Modern fighters box much less than the previous generations. Hagler had 67 fights by the time he was 32. These 2 have a lot less than that and they are 3 years older. You can go longer when you fight less often.

They are both past their primes but that makes it a better fight because prime Brook would KO Khan. Now it's closer.

This is how Spence swerving Crawford gonna play out. Spence refusing to be a stepping stone for a great fighter.

This always bn a garbage fighting rather this fight never happen. SpenceCrawford gonnabe past its sell by date. . The anatomy of a duck is refusal to be a scalp to another fighter

At their peaks, it was a curiosity.
Now....just another chance to see Khan do the stanky leg.

Usually, it's quality > quantity.
How many mismatches (tune ups) do we want to see ?
