Comments Thread For: Brook: I Schooled Khan Before, I'd Take Him Out!

[Marvellous1]

Regardless of what your opinion may be of Brook and Khan on a personal level, when looking at skill set for skill set, I don't see a match up between them going the distance.

Khan may start typically well, but as soon as Brook checks his chin, the fights over. Khan has been put down and knocked out by smaller guys. Brook would hurt him and I don't see Khan recovering quickly enough to survive.

He did, but wasn't the Taylor fight in Europe or was that Atlantic City?? Either way I feel Khan is more eager to prove himself against the best in the U.S because he's had 3 fights in a row here and is constantly calling out the top American fighters, but then again that probably has something to do with the division hes in. Froch is good and I think telling Kelly Pavlik to come fight him in Nottingham is different then fighting KP in Atlantic City and then back dooring it with a fight against the winner of Ward/Dawson and eventually closing his American tour with a rematch against Andre Dirrell and by that time Chavez Jr could be at SMW depending on what happens on Sept 15. That to me would be Froch testing himself against the absolute best. That to me is what Khan is attempting to do in his division, but he keeps losing.

That is Froch's last 8 fights, the toughest 8-fight stretch of anybody in the sport. Froch has fought the best and done it on the road, only three of those fights were in the UK.

Amir Khan has not fought anywhere near the quality of opposition that Froch has. 'The best in the US' is only relevant if most of the best fighters are in the US...they aren't.
