Comments Thread For: Khan: Brook Has Confidence Issues, Won't Face Porter

[Black Barty]

How is he washed up when he came from his career best win?

Half of everyone on NSB picked Collazo to KO Khan!

He already beat Peterson, so no point in that fight.

Garcia, yes.

You can't repeat this often enough. Haters are now trying hard to pretend Collazo was a fall guy cherrypicked to make Khan look good. Don't let them.

And to the guy who said he should fight Maidana again: why should the winner chase the rematch? If anyone, it's Maidana who should be calling Khan out and not the other way around.

Khan's inside information regarding the Brook-Porter fight being with GBP and in boxing in general. I really wanted Brook to take this fight so everyone can know if Brook is real or just one big hype. The guy has like 30+ fights and not even one good fighter on his resume. It's high time he stepped up.

As for Khan, he fought an old and washed up Collazo. We don't know how good he is at the moment so we need to watch him fighting a young and live opponent who comes to fight. Thurman would be my favourite to see Khan fighting, Peterson and Matthysse if they could move up, Garcia and Porter.

I like Kell Brook as a fighter but Khan could have a point about Kell having confidence issues and he'll look to be right on the money if Brook snubs the Porter fight for whatever reason. And yet I'm probably in the minority in thinking that if he does take the fight Kell can beat Porter who is not the beast Paulie made him appear to be.

Man, it's well known Brook lacks confidence in fighting tough opponents. He's closing in on 30 and has passed off every fight that could've gained him a little spot on the map. Regardless, of if Brook takes the fight it doesn't change that all he does is fight tomato cans and with the odd extremely minor fight, while ducking other fighters.

And Porter is far more seasoned than Brook is now. I think Porter KOs Brook. Brooks slow but accurate combinations will not work against Porter, who just stay out of range and then come in and ambush him, beat him up.

Khans calling Brook out to take the fight, and if he doesn't he'll look more like a coward.

Brook does have confidence issues i remember when Eddie hearn said in Kelly's first fight after he signed with him Kelly said he did not want to go into the arena and fight because he was scared..

If Brook doesnt want to fight Porter, then like Khan said let him fight him

Brooks confidence issues will be confirmed if he doesnt fight Porter

From what i understand, Porter said he is already watching videos of Brook fights

Someone tweeted after the Collazo fight something like: How many fights did it take Amir Khan to make a bigger statement than Kell Brook at Welterweight?

I hope the fight happens vs Porter and we finally see who really is Kell Brook.

Amir khan is right. In 2012 Brook was offered a fight with Tim bradley and he turned down the fight. His excuse was he was ibf mandatory at the time and he wanted to have a fight against devon alexander or randall bailey. And bradley priced himself out of a fight with amir khan.

lol, what?

He has to do what's best for him. Fact is, Collazo is a better fighter than anyone Thurman has beaten at this point in his career - not denying he's a good fighter, but you only say his name because you want Khan to get knocked out.

Spot on.

The hate for Khan on NSB is unreal and, sadly, most of it seems to be racially motivated.

How about Garcia or Peterson again khan? You ve had one win against a very washed up collazo and u reckon ur the best in the world now lol chill tiger

Khan signed a rematch with Peterson who proceeded to fail a drugs test. Were you not following boxing then or something?
