Comments Thread For: Brook on Amir Khan: I Would Knock Him Clean Out!

How does this fight get made though?
I imagine Hearn will continue fronting by claiming that they made Khan an offer to fight in Bolton or Sheffield, but they will probably lowball him. Khan is based in the US now, has a major US promoter and basically holds all the aces. It's a big UK fight that I'd like to see, but I feel that Team Khan are looking at far more lucrative options than "Special" K.
As for the fight...well not wanting to sound like Dwyer here, but either Khan's glass get's smashed or Kell's beak gets broke....

They made Khan's last fight in the UK against a journeyman so this fight can be made. The problem is team Khan is a trying is secure the Maywweather fight but I don't think his team trust his chin anymore otherwise they would of pushed for the Alexander fight in December because you can then sell Khan v Mayweather to the Americans as a unification fight. I don't know how they are going to sell Khan v Mayweather in the US because of Khan's recent performance and the American boxing fan are no mugs they know there boxing. At least by fighting Brook they have a rated welterweight on his resume but they doubt his chin and a loss going forward for Khan ends Mayweather period, so know they have to also deal with a inactive fighter who will be ring rusty if the Mayweather fight by some chance happens.

Anyone (maybe) can KO Amir Khan. His style makes it possible and so does his chin.

These two should really fight already..The fight makes a lot of sense,there is money there to be made..These guy's seem to not like each other as well,so it should be good..

Hi Lacedup - Khan has fast hands his power is OK but not exceptional. He DID PUT DOWN Maidana but did not stop him,he never stopped Judah as Judah quit complaining about low blows which was nothing but excuses, in Khans 9 world title fights he has only stoppeded 3 opponents(33%). When dropped Petersen it was more a push than a punch lot of people still claim it was a push so this is debatable, I know the fight was controversial but Petersen still did enough in the 2nd half of the fight to win that one - please feel free to disagree. I agree Khan is not a powder puncher but neither is he a power hitter he has fast hands with soft whiskers and gets stopped especially nowadays. Timing beats speed any day of the week just look at the Gracia fight and Prescott fight (Prescott ain't no world beater) and Brook has good timing therefore stops Khan especially latley with Khan been so inactive and his punch reisitance destroyed by Gracia.

So Judah didn't go down for a body shot and didn't make the count? Or is that just my memory that serves me wrong? To my recollection, going down and not making the count = stopped.

He stopped Malignaggi who was in there with a prime cotto for 12 - no easy feat.

The point is, when you're fighting at that level it's hard to stop these people. Look at the guys he fought. Kotelnik, Maidana, Garcia, Peterson - they had never been stopped.
