Carl Froch wasn’t a two division champion like this piece states, but I agree with what him and Josh Taylor are saying. Brook is definitely the favourite for me, if he can handle the weight cut.

I'll be surprised if Josh Taylor shows up to Khan vs. Brook considering Terence Crawford will be in Manchester supporting Khan. However, I'm sure that Josh Taylor feels safer now that Terence Crawford left Toprank, we know that Bob Arum will protect Taylor and attempt to keep the jr. welterweight titles with his promotion.

Nobody in the UK even knows that Josh Taylor is fighting Jack Catterall, how are shot Khan-Brook more valued by the British public than the prime 'undisputed' jr. welterweight champ? The Brits must see what I see, Josh Taylor is a jerk and got lucky.

Taylor is unlikeable and Scottish, well the two really go hand in hand.

That's why he has no popularity tho

Now you know, Josh Taylor is a bully on top of all those unlikeable features you mentioned Earl.

Josh knows who's buttons to push and who to stay clear from. Terence Crawford told Josh to his face ( on camera ) that he was going to beat his ass, but Taylor did not respond with the same energy that we seen with Regis Prograis -- and its a good thing for Josh, or else TBC would of dropped him right there and then.

I hope I see the 'Tart-Tomato' on Saturday, he needs to promote his upcoming title defense, I haven't heard anything about that.

Taylor’s got Khan **** on with his pacing. I remember first time I ever clocked Khan’s had speed and was well impressed.

I think it took about a round to see through it. The guy doesn’t react to circumstances as they arise in the ring; just shifts through the same manoeuvres regardless, albeit at high speed; almost like a Boss Battle in a SNES game.

Ring IQ: -5

Khan is definitely quicker with his handspeed and footwork.

The mistakes Khan makes is as Taylor said, doesn't change up things enough, and I would add, he squares up too much.

Therefore, he gets timed quite easily by good fighters, and this is where Brook could get him after the first four rounds or so.

It's years too late, but certainly I am interested to see it this weekend.
