Comments Thread For: Khan: Brook is A lot Slower Than Devon, I'd School Him!

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I don't know. I think Brook is a nice fighter but I'm not convinced he beats Khan. Porter was pretty unimaginitive in there and while Brook showed levels in his game Khan's physical dimensions coupled with his speed would give him hell. And Khan may be chinny but he's also resilient. His chin might be better too at 147. Oscar De La Hoya was dropped a couple times in the lower weights but his chin proved rock solid as he moved up.

I'd lean toward Khan in this match if it gets made but I bet Amir would sooner take a higher profile fight if he can't get Mayweather. Floyd basically told him that he needs to step up if he wants to be one of his last fights. Khan needs a big name next and Brook isn't it. Garcia, Maidana and Thurman are all possibilities with perhaps an outside chance of a fight against Pacquiao.

Good point. The Brook fight does great business here and gets Khan a nice payday but it doesn't make him any more appealing in a commercial sense to Mayweather

so, greedy boy...you think that an over the hill collazo who got beaten a few years ago by a very slow over the hill ricky hatton AAANNNNNDDD beating a powder puff hitter in devon alexander has given you the wages??? ****.
beat thurman (which wont happen because he has good knockout power) then marcos maidana (which wont happen because he will probably do the same) then maybe.....just maybe you will get floyds attention but, nobody said you will even then.....deserve it because your a complete ****. a fool, d1khead, bellend and dreamer. floyd goes 50 and 0 game over.
king khunt on the other hand i believe will be gone before that.
oh, almost forgot..danny garcia wasnt very quick was he??? see....complete ****.

He's not though.

Garcia punches far harder with the left hook than Brook does with any punch in his arsenal. Prescott at lightweight was a huge puncher. I'd say Judah was a better puncher than Brook. I almost forgot Maidana...

Brook is a solid puncher who could hurt Khan but people are acting like he's some one shot artist.

I would say that's highly debatable with Garcia.

Maidana probably.

[LacedUp]

What does his ability to manhandle Porter have to do with punching power? He never really hurt Porter and he him him cleanly several times.

Feedback from old opponents? He hasn't really fought anyone other than Porter.

And who has he really knocked clean out? He stops people through accumulation. Garcia cleans guys out with a single left hook. Maidana has hurt and stopped people at both weights.

He did hurt Porter multiple times though. Porter was said to have a granite chin. Old middleweight sparring partners said you couldn't put a dent in him.

Brook clearly hurt him.

Who has Brook knocked out or hurt badly with a single shot?

He's a solid puncher, nothing more.

No....he really didn't. When? I remember he buzzed him briefly with an uppercut but he never hurt him

Let me ask you who Garcia knocked out with a single shot?

He knocked that Ukrainian guy out pretty badly. Never been dropped or hurt before - probably had a better chin than Khan. He knocked out that IBF no 2 with a jab.

His resume other than Porter isn't really good, so whoever I say will be worse than Khan.

He did though. He made him do a funny step late in the first round. He buckled him late in the fight around rounds 8-10 and also caught him and ran for him late in another round.

Who? But even the bums he was facing, he hasn't exactly been wiping them out. He TKO's them mostly after a long accumulation.

He doesn't have a single punch in his arsenal that compares in power to Garcia's ****** strength hook.

Well same can be said Garcia? Except for Salka who took a bad no-look left hook like Khan.

Brook doesn't throw that kind of left hook, but his straight right has knocked guys out and down before. Obviously it's hard to say a name because everyone he's fought other than Porter aren't that good. But he's also fought some big welterweights like Hatton, Senchenkho and Jones. Garcia has been facing light welterweights and often guys who were coming up from 130 or 135.

I didn't really say Brook was a 1 punch KO guy. But neither is Garcia really.
