I agree with Amir. Amir shouldn't give them any more attention. The Hearns were an absolute disgrace during the McCloskey fight press conference.
I don't mind boxers talking **** to each other but I get pissed off when promoters who have never stepped in a ring their entire life, talk **** about boxers.
Unless Brook gets rid of those lowlifes, Amir should not fight Brook.
Amir is not in a position to dictate anyones representative's. That response to the prospect of fighting of Kell Brook tells me Khan would like to avoid that particular fight at this point in time. Its understandable. Brook is every bit as physically talented as Amir Khan. Khan gets more shine, which is deserved based on his body of work. However. Kell Brook, from a match-up stand point, is a nightmare for Amir Khan. Khan has feasted on fighters that are either slower or shorter or both over the last year or so. In Kell Brook, Amir Khan would finally fight a fighter that matches up physically on all fronts. He would not be plodding like Maidana, or feather fisted like Paulie, or fakin like Zab Judah. He would be motivated, willing, and able. and everyone knows it. Including Khans Camp. I do not live in England, so I do not know how the domestic boxing scene moves and shakes, but I am starting to wonder why the Brittish Press does not push for this fight. Khan talks about Mayweather that and Bradley this. Why not fight someone in your own backyard that will take a 30 percent(at most) and minimal TV revenue? I will tell you why, because the fight is risky. As a boxing writer, I can tell when a fighter is full of sh%t. Trust me my new friends, Amir Khan is full of sh%t. He is going to duck this fight for his welterweight debut. His welterweight debut will come against a fighter that he has physical advantages over. He is a star, so talented. But the fighters he has fought and beaten, at the time that he did it, outside of Marcos, do not justify his extravagant claims. Fighting Kell Brook, a fresh, young, ubberly talented fighter, would underwrite some of the nonsense I read on this website every day
Kell should dump the Hearns, and try and get with Dibella or something, to get more exposure in the states.
Brook is good. He's a fairly slick boxer, with decent power, and a good defense. Brook should push for a WBA title shot against Senchenko, or push for the Aydin-Dan 2 winner, for his fight in March. Than, if he were to win either fight, he could fight the Alexander-Malignaggi winner, Berto-Ortiz 2 winner, Khan, Jones, in the summer.
