Comments Thread For: Brook on Amir Khan: Doesn't Want Me, But Still Possible

[dumber79]

please don't bring barrera into it in order to add substance to your argument. i agree with what you're saying, but the mab fight is hardly a career defining moment.


boxing records aside, i think brook could cause khan a headache. would be a good fight, lets make it happen.

Neither can Khan, that's why sky dropped him and he's fighting in peterson's hometown. Stop pretending he is some ricky hatton. the man's a ****ing joke.

His resume is vastly overrated. Malignaggi sucks, mccloskey come on. Kotelnik is overrated. Maidana beat his a$$. Peterson? The man runs off at the mouth and then fights has beens or never was.

He won't fight brook, he'll fight hatton and his idiot fans will say hatton's a bigger draw....................clown

Completely flawed post. Sky didn't drop khan because he couldn't draw they just couldn't justify another PPV fight after the joke of a HW fights David haye put them through. He gets 20000 plus at his fights in the uk. He's the biggest money earner in Britain fact!

Also he took 4000 fans over for the fight against Judah. DC is even closer expect about 5000 khan fans. Hatton, Hamed, Calzaghe etc all built up a huge fan following in the UK then went to the states hatton and calzaghe had close to 40 fights when they went over khan went at the age of 22 and after only 23 fights. He's slowly getting more and more fans going over.

I dont agree with the hatton fight but I also don't believe that will happen. What belt would hatton hold? He won't win a belt I can't see him beating even senchenko!

Plus brook is a prospect becoming a contender. He isn't supposed to be fighting the best yet. Khan is world class. He shouldn't be fighting bottom half of the top 10 in his division.

Giving khan credit for fighting top 10 ring fighters and then criticizing brook shows YOUR bias.

#7 ring ranking for welterweight is the man brook just dominated. Not some 100th ranked bum as some have said

He's been a prospect coming contender the last 3 years! And like I said he's got talent and potential and I support his career but he needs to wake up and do something relevant before he says 'I will knock out pacquiao' and 'I will spark out khan'! Seriously?!?

As a khan fan I don't give any credit for the Barrera win. Brook v khan would be huge if they both can win a belt at 147 and then unify in the UK

in fairness to brook, his career has been **** partly because of his previous promoter. since he's moved to matchroom he's fought n'dou and then last night. i think he'll push on from here.

Don't get your point. Is khan a bigger draw than brook? sure

Is khan some super draw that should dictate terms to other fighters? no

If you claim khan is a super draw then don't go tell me he is startin to draw similar numbers to all the previous british stars. So basically khan is approaching a level that many other uk fighters already had. Great. Sure makes him one of a kind.

Also the sky decision wasn't completely like that. They chose haye over khan. Guess he's not britian's biggest draw. And the uk consistently outdraws the us for a live gate. Means jack.

We'll see if the crowd is pro khan as you suggest. Using your logic that entire crowd will be khan fans. Since I doubt their will be more than 5,000 paid attendee's

Khan is overrated and Overhyped

[dumber79]

i agree, mm - i think it'll be huge. can't see TK taking it though.

[dumber79]

sky didn't choose anyone over anyone. khan's fight against mccloskey wasn't drawing ppv's, so they put it on normal sky. tk were miffed that it was on sky sports 4 (i think) and not on the main sky sports 1. pt came in with an offer at the 11th hour to put it on ppv, so they took it. the relationship ended there.

Brook is naturally after khan but khan has other things in mind. That's boxing nowadays.

[Shogun99]

Khan sucks **** and is so overrated, Brook knocks his ass out in two...

Kinda like how Brook claimed to have schooled Khan in sparring but shut his mouth on Eddie Hearn's c.ock once Amir threatened to have the coaches release actual footage of him making Kell his b.itch despite being 2 weight classes under!!!!

Hate on Khan all you want but excepting Salita everyone he has faced in the past 3 yrs has a resume that ****s on Brooks. Zab Judah today has a more relevant resume at WW than Brook. But you ****riders ***** and moan about Khan fighting actual beltholders and top 10 fighters like Judah, Kotelnik, Maidana, Paulie, then start :wank: when Kell beats on cabbies.
