I don't see Khan going near Brook unless he has a title. It is too dangerous of a fight for him with not enough reward. Right now after 2 loses on the spin Khan is very vulnerable and Brook would have a great chance.

Khan would be doing Brook a huge favour to fight him with no title - i.e no real incentive. Im a fan of both guys but thats the truth.
I see where you're coming from, for sure, but we just don't see eye to eye on this one and probably aren't going to.

Originally posted by ddangerous View PostThe more Khan loses, the less of a draw he is becoming. He no longer is trained by a celebrity in Freddie Roach. I love Virgil Hunter, but he is not adding to Khan's commercial appeal, at the moment, to casual fans. He has no titles himself, and due to his latest consecutive losses, he is not a mandatory for any belts either. I concede that his name is a bigger draw than Brook's currently, but Brook is gaining momentum and a fight against him in the UK would potentially get Khan more money than any other fight available to him at the present. Garcia does not feel the need to rematch him. Hatton has some rust to shake off. Peterson is either being linked to Judah or Holt. I just think it's textbook, delusional Khan to snuff Brook because he has no title, when Khan himself has no title as well.

Khan has no title because he lost to another top level fighter in his division. And he's been fighting top guys in his division. Brook has not. Its not delusion. Its just fact that Khan has been operating at a much higher level.

I already mentioned Hatton, and that he is unavailable at the moment. Brook wants to fight Khan now. Considering Khan's top options are tied up right now, a Brook fight makes sense and would be welcomed by hoards of folks in the UK. Plus, he lost his last two fights, has no title himself, and needs to prove he can still win against top opposition (Brook counts as top opposition as he is a mandatory for a title fight right now) to get another shot at someone who ACTUALLY has a title right now (Garcia, Alexander, etc...).
I, too, am stating facts. We both have stated facts, and we both have our own opinions on Khan's comments. I maintain that him stating he won't fight Brook since he doesn't have a title, when he himself has no title and has lost his last two fight, the latest by embarassing stoppage, is delusional, arrogant, and foolish.

Originally posted by Dirk Diggler UK View PostHe lost to Garcia. But he's also beaten many top fighters in his division. Unlike Brook. Its not delusional or arrogant for Khan to expect Brook to at least fight someone top level in his division. Once again, its not an opinion, Khan would be doing Brook a favour by giving him a fight right now.
