    Should Khan fight Kell Brook over Broner, Porter & Peterson?

    Eddie Hearn said yesterday that Amir Khan could make 5 million dollars for a summer fight with Kell Brook.

    It's quite clear, that aside from Mayweather, Brook would give Khan his biggest payday.

    However, how big a win would it be?

    Is Brook a big enough name at this stage to put him in the mix? Is it a top WW win?

    Should he fight Brook?

    Money wise, probably.

    But I'd rather see him fight Broner or Porter.

    Porter-Brook is the Mandatory so I don't know where he'd squeeze in.

      Hearn said yesterday that Brook would drop the mandatory if he could fight Khan.

      I think career wise, a Broner fight would be a natural fight to make. However, his popularity with the UK fans is not really at a high as Hearn also pointed out, so a huge fight would be good for him in that sense.

        it's a decent fight, but he'd need one more welterweight win on top of that to legitimise himself as a potential floyd opponent imo. would be best to fight broner first, and then if he wins fight the winner of brook-porter. then he has a firm foothold in the division.

            Do you have that interview? I'd like to watch it.

            Yeah, makes sense. Brook wants Khan and moneywise it makes sense for Khan.

            I think Khan would rather fight someone like Porter but I don't see that happening because if Brook-Khan doesn't happen then Brook-Porter surely will.

            Anyone in the Top 10 at 147 would be decent for Khan.

              I can't embed as I don't know how to on a mac. but it's that one.

              If Khan was to fight Porter, it would have to be soon as the mandatory is set for June I think - and If Khan wins that one he'd have to fight Brook anyway, so that would be a lot bigger if there was a belt on the line.

              I think so too. I really like the Broner fight for Khan. Hopefully that gets made.

                No.
                Kell Brook has not fought anyone of any significance. Hes avoided Alexander in a title fight. Is fighting a TBA in march fought Carson Jones twice when he should have been fighting world level fighters. He has yet to prove he's anything more than a European level fighter.
                maybe if he obtains a world title or beats a Thurman, Collazo, Berto etc

                Khan should try and get a title shot work his way to Mayweather and retire. hes on the othersidede of the hill now.

                  I didnt read any people posted.

                  but brook will be a great UK fight and that both will be a crossroad figth for both.

                  Khan basically is in rebuild mode, his name will give him another semi name fight (eventhough he shouldent) but any fight, let him take.

                    Khan shouldn't fight Brook just yet, he should fight Porter and capture the title that Brook seems too 'injured' to take and then see if Kell Brook is willing to fight him.

                    Kell Brook needs Amir to stay in the spotlight.
