Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Without IBF Belt, Kell Brook Brings Nothing

[FrankieBruno]

brook is no household name in the uk...at least not yet

boxing die hards know who he is and thats about it

this is the truth

[MeanestNiceGuy]

I can see it now....

1. Brook happens to upset Porter and wins the IBF title
2. Brook calls out Floyd
3. Floyd accepts the challenge and sees a chance to unify the division
4. Khan b*tches and moans until May '16

Khan said he'd never fight for an IBF title again after they screwed him over with PEDerson.

"Khan is 25 years old, young guy, with a 32 year old body, burnt out, we whooped his ass!!! he's not the king, to me he don't got no chin, you can't train chin.....he can chew a lot of bubble gum, I recommend he chew a lot of bubble gum, he had his day man he's done" - Angel Garcia

Ali is also an ex world champion with a solid resume, will he get a shot at Klitschko? Khan fans stay stuck in 2010, he has done nothing but beat a lightweight, and 2 faded ass fighters. Khan is in no position to put up barriers for other fighters. He has work to do himself, that's why Floyd didn't fight him because he brought nothing to the table. No belt, no P4P rankings.

Also this mindset that he shouldn't fight Brook because of his resume is utterly retarted. With that logic then no one would ever take dangerous fights, because his opponent never 'stepped up'.

I was just making your point earlier this week. There are some Khan fans that see no need for him to fight Thurman, and that Alexander or Guerrero are good opponents. They were good opponents, but now that Guererro struggled with Kamegai, and Alexander already lost to Porter, Thurman is the best man available. Somehow Khan fans feel it's okay to fight a "tick-over" fight, and get Mayweather, when guys like Porter and Thurman are working their way through the WW division. and if Floyd wanted a good 140lb fighter to move up to the WW division, wouldn't it be Danny Garcia and not Amir Khan? Garcia just had an avg. of 830K viewers fighting Rod Salka, and beat Khan and Matthysse, and maybe Peterson next. Khan better get busy!

And what or who has Thurman done that is so worthy of such elevated status?
He's done nothing, yet you put him over Khan simply because he's flavour of the month.

This guy is still ****ing on about Thurman

Can't stand these hipster dweebs online that pump up these guys names when no one in the real world knows who the *** are they are.

[SeekDaGreat]

Khan is right, if Brook loses tomorrow night than what is the point of fighting him? None.

[CrustyLoaf]

Brooks has used Khan's name to promote himself in recent years. Brooks has not done anything and is surrounded by more hype than actually being a boxing star.

Also I don't see all this power they say that Brooks has, he is a very average fighter. Lets see if he rises to the ocassion. But if Brooks don't win there is no reason why to see a Khan fight unless Khan loses his next fight too

Maybe you've been watching the wrong fighter.

[Dean_Razorback]

ok, brook without the belt brings nothing to the table, that means he is aiming to porter??
