    Well this comment is dumb.

    Amir Khan has a resume that takes a Cleveland Steamer on Kell Brook's chest

    Khan gets nothing for beating Kell right now ("he smashed a Brit hypejob, so what?" the critics will crow)

    The thing that kept Khan from getting Floyd last time out was *American* fans being repulsed at the thought of someone getting the Floyd payday without having earned it. The Brit fans (some love him, some loathe him) but either way they would have bought the fight on Sky PPV for the same reason a lot of Americans buy Floyd fights -- they either wanna see him dominate or they wanna see him get KOd and humbled.

    In order to convince American fight fans he ought to be next, Khan needs to beat someone with a U.S. "profile" (i.e., name recognition, cred, etc.) and unless and until Brook beats Porter, Kell Brook has no such "profile" in the United States.

    Khan would gladly take that fight if Brook beats Porter, and he's certainly not afraid of him. Any educated observer can clearly see Khan is a class above Brook, and with Khan's new more "defensively responsible" style, the only hope Brook has (landing a perfect, one-shot, miracle punch) is severely mitigated by Khan's newfound cautiousness in the ring.

    The only reason Khan hasn't fought Brook yet is, as I articulated earlier, because a win over Brook now (i.e., today) does nothing to advance him towards the Mayweather fight, which is what Khan wants.

    If Kell can manage to win a title, then obviously it's worth Khan's time and (IMO) Amir Khan will school Brook, showing every ounce of that Olympic 17 y/o boxing prodigy amateur pedigree that Brook lacks (and always will).

      maybe the money is not everything to him he has plenty of it im sure

        Khan has wins over Barerra,Kotelnik,Malignaggi,Judah,Collazo,Diaz,Mai dana,PEDerson,McClosky,Salita = All Bigger names than this Bum Brook.

        Brook doesn't deserve to fight Khan period, even if Brook wins the title its Khan who dictates the terms Not Brook.

          If Khan is as great as he keeps telling everyone he would have fought Brook already, beat him easily and earned a very decent payday.

          I don't actually believe Khan is a huge ducker - he just thinks he is bigger than he actually is - holding out for the Floyd fight.

          Khan's last 5 fights have hardly been convincing at all, the WW division is packed full of talent yet Khan will only fight 1) Floyd and 2) Maybe Brook IF he beats Porter?

          IMO Khan needs at least 1 impressive win against a 147 contender to pull himself back some credibility.

          Broner, Porter or even Thurman would push him back up there.

          Seriously, If Khan just vanished from the WW division would anyone REALLY miss him?

            A lot of people and as far as fighting Brook, Brook doesn't bring ANYTHING to the table and is a Nobody even in the Uk, no one really knows him apart from people in Sheffield or some hardcore boxing fans. Even if Khan fights Brook and beat him EVERYONE including yourself would be saying that he beat a Brit Hype job, he beat a Nobody, Khan is already pushing for fights against Guerrero,Alexander,Porter,Marquez,Bradley,Pacquaio so I dunno what you're on about, believe me Khan's next opponent will be 1 of them and everyone in it is much more credible than Brook. Khan ducks nobody, Brook sadly is not even a nobody atm.

              You are right - Brook is a nobody.

              But...

              If Khan fought him he would earn maybe as much as he would if he fought Floyd.

              And

              It should be an easy fight for Khan if he is as good as he keeps telling everyone.

              I am just playing Devils Advocate here, I don't actually care that much about either Khan or Brook to be honest.

                I mean cmon how can anyone even accuse Khan of ducking Brook? Thats just biased hatred towards Khan. Brook has been a PRO for longer period than hasn't done jack s*** his entire career.

                Khan has faced likes of Kotelnik,Judah,Maidana,Paulie,Collazo,Diaz,Barerra ,PEDerson,Garcia and tried to make fights with Marquez,Bradley at 140.

                Heck even Salita on Khan's resume beats any opponent that Brook has ever faced.


                Imagine yourself under Khan's shoes and tell yourself why should Khan fight Brook at the moment?? and even if Khan fights Brook and beat him would you all consider this as a credible win?

                IMO, I'm sure Khan vs Brook will happen down the line if Brook beats Porter, but right now just Shut Up.

                  'Under Khans shoes???'

                  OK, now you are just being insulting.

                  Like I said before Khan is motivated by $$$ like all professional sports people.

                  I never said Khan is a ducker.

                  Khan would receive at least $4-5 million for fighting Brook.

                  So there is a reason for him fighting Brook.

                  And NO it is not a 'credible' win, but a win AND a payday regardless.

                  When Khan turned pro at 18 it was because his family were highly motivated by the $$$ on offer. His early resume was padded and hyped - his best win was Maidana (fair enough). Since then he has achieved jack s**t. Now he is being found out he is looking for paydays instead of building a credible resume at 147.

                  Come on man, Amir Khan talks about himself in the third person, so you know he is deluded.

                    Khan brings nothing to the table() outside of a UK-based scrap between the two. Brook can and should bypass Khan and challenge another Champion in the US for a better payday. Hearn is already looking to branch out to the US and this would be an idea situation.
                    what does Brook bring to the table?
                    nothing and Brook doesn't have the confidence to fight in America regularly

                      Under his shoes = Phrase, meaning imagine yourself in his position, off course you didn't know that?

                      So what? A lot of professional athletes Cricketers,Footballers do? say what ever you want about him he is the youngest Olympic Medallist ever for Britain in Boxing and youngest World champion for Britain and deserve a lot more praise/respect than he gets, and no his career was never motivated by $$$'s, otherwise he would have been fighting bums in the Uk and making decent money, He said in an interview that he was getting feed peanuts in the contract for a Floyd fight , he only wants to fight him cause he Truly believes he can Beat him,Period. You can accuse Khan of a lot of things but his willingness to fight the best.


                      He went to PEDerson's hometown ffs to defend his titles, get a clue.



                      What payday? He'll get more fighting Brook than fighting the likes of Mayweather,Pacquaio make up your mind mate.
