      The times not right to make this fight if kell can get some decent wins under his belt and if khan steps up to 147 maybe then the fight will happen in the next year or 2.

        Different weight classes. I very much doubt brook could go down in weight

        Khan's got fights like Peterson, the winner of Bradley-Alexander, Ortiz etc Can't see him moving up for at least a year, and then it'll be for someone like Berto, and then maybe Mayweather

        Kell Brook isn't world class yet. He may be in the future, but certainly not now. And at him being Pacquiao's #1 with the WBO. Do you think Pacquiao even knows who he is?

            see this is the problem in boxing today, it should not matter who knows who, if you are the number 1 contender then you should get a title shot regardless of who is the champion, amirs resume was terrible when he got a pop at the belt so why does kell have to do anything different, same with bradley he was unknown when he got a crack at the WBC belt, alos brook mentioned himself he'd make 140 so the fight is certainly doable, we will wait and see who goldenboy pick out for khan.......

              No point feeding Kell to the lions yet. Give him a few more fights and let him prove that (a) he deserves the Khan payday, and (b) he can handle it.

                no it wasn't barrera took tht fight for the money, he had been badly beaten up by a journeyman previous to fighting khan, jennings is a tough boxer to pin down, he uses the ring well.

                khan vs brook is a great fight for boxing in britain

                  what are your opinions on it ?.... i don't wanna see another salita fight in britain lol
                  yeah that would be a good fight. wonder what naseem hamed would have to say about it!

                    What, a promising fighter getting spanked? Which Brook would IMO.

                    If this fight ever happens, wait until Brook has a title, then it would be a great fight for British boxing.

                    I doubt many people outside the Brook family or Sheffield has a clue who Kell is.

                      Fighting Kell in the UK would be good business but the Khan camp is looking for an opponent they can take the majority of the purse that is low risk. A Khan fight will sell anyway in the UK no matter who he fights.
