Comments Thread For: Khan: Brook Needs Me, Fight Will Happen on My Terms

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Welterweight contender Amir Khan (29-3, 19KOs) has a very important fight coming up on December 13th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Khan will step in the ring with former two-division champion Devon Alexander (26-2, 14KOs).

Should Khan overcome his upcoming fight, there are two big potential opportunities in his path. The first is a domestic showdown with rival Kell Brook, who now holds the IBF's welterweight title. The second is the biggest prize in boxing, a potential fight with WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Highly unlikely if Khan beats Devon. If he loses, he can kiss the Floyd fight goodbye, regardless of Brook.

As for what Khan said, it sounds a bit too smug for my liking but he's not wrong.

I like khan but sometimes I wish he would shut the f**k up

Khan is a household Uk name, Brook is not known outside of Sheffield.

Enough said, the facts are that Khan brings in the money and the name, this wont change no matter how the posters on NSB cry about it.

If Khan Brook happens then Khans the A side.

Slightly off topic...but anyway

Kell Brook pencilled in for March 7 return and being lined up for summer showdown with Juan Manuel Marquez or Amir Khan

KELL BROOK is hoping to return to the ring on March 7, 2015, in Sheffield according to his promoter, Eddie Hearn.

The IBF welterweight champion’s first defence of the title he won in August against Shawn Porter has been delayed due to the stabbing he endured while on holiday in Tenerife, but the Brit is scheduled to resume training next week. He has until March 15 to make a voluntary defence.

Presuming he negotiates that maiden defence – potentially against the winner of the December 19 eliminator between Ionut Dan Ion and Kevin Bizier – then a bumper summer showdown against Juan Manuel Marquez or Amir Khan awaits.

“We’ve pencilled in March 7 in Sheffield [for Brook’s return] and he starts training next week,” said Hearn. “It’s interesting. Originally, [Leonard] Bundu was going to fight Jo Jo Dan in a final eliminator but now it’s [Kevin] Bizier against Dan, so maybe we’ll fight the winner of that to get it out of the way to clear the path for a big fight in the summer.”

Hearn likes the idea of bring over Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez to Britain to challenge his charge in defence No.2.

“I love the [Juan Manuel] Marquez fight,” Hearn continued. “I’ve spoke to Top Rank and Marquez’s people. I think Brook-Marquez over here is a wonderful fight and a wonderful event.”

Marquez recently admitted in Las Vegas his future is uncertain, but Hearn is confident the old warrior will fight again.

“If he doesn’t fight Pacquiao, he would love a crack at a world title in a fifth weight, and he can try that against Kell Brook. Bring him over here, I think it’s brilliant.”

The other name on Brook’s big fight radar is, of course, Amir Khan who takes on Devon Alexander in Las Vegas on December 13. The 2004 Olympic silver medallist has made no secret of his desire to fight pound-for-pound leader, Floyd Mayweather.

“We have to see what happens with Amir Khan,” said Hearn. “I think he beats Alexander quite handily and then after that, does he get the Mayweather fight or not? If he doesn’t, he will fight Kell Brook.”

Brook will agree just to get him in the ring. I can't wait for Brook to retire this delusional rat. He irritates me everytime he talks.

[thack]

Another fight he doesn't fancy....question ...Has Khan EVER won a fight he wasn't betting favourite to win ?...I know he's lost a few!

[Daylyt]

this is clearly khan way of explaining his duck, he gonna pull a mayweather or ward where they say they want to fight someone but the negations etc say otherwise.

Brooks will sparks that ass out the ring and khan knows it.
