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

[HanzGruber]

BoxingScene literally posting the same Khan interview twice but with a different headline yet again

@ the "jurrrrst shurrrt up and fiiiiiight him then!!!" posts. Morons.

Khan is obviously going to wait to see what happens with Mayweather......

he doesnt have a choice lol.. and khan is a moron pretty sure hes faster than all his opponents and he still lost

Khan needs to realize that IBF strap is a ticket to a Floyd fight and if he picks that up before the Sep date, itll be just enough to land floyd and can easily be marketed because itll be a unification.

Khan kinda put his foot in his mouth with Brook being slower comment and also with Brook not being on his level, because just that ONE win in ONE night over Porter trumps everything Khan has done since Danny stopped him, who is slower than devon and brook i might add, plus he picked up a world title with that win. In fact, its Khan who isnt on Brooks level. The difference here is that there's a lot of marketing behind Khan and pushing his name out there (example: this article) & you can credit that to Khan having a great promoter with a lot connections.

Why is it never about skills? Speed, speed, speed!
You won't fight Brook because you know it would ruin a mega fight vs Manny or Floyd.

Brook would of done the same thing to Devon's ordinary ass, maybe worse. Like you he is very good against southpaws especially highly limited ones with no right hook.

Does Khan ever stop blowing his own trumpet?

Doesn't have a choice in what?

Brook has power, good counter punching ability, good footwork.
And great use of his jab unlike Devon, and Devon is known to have a decent jab.

Brook stops Khan

Reality check:

• Brook is a MUCH better technician than Devon.
• Brook has extremely good timing.
• Brook is more accurate than Devon.
• Brook has more power than ANYBODY Khan has ever faced.
• Brook is naturally bigger & stronger.

In light of Khan's recent (and best ever) performance and the severity of Kell's wounds, I'd say this is 50/50. It would be a great fight for British boxing and for me would eclipse any other fight including Mayflower.

People continue to severely overrate Brook's power.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't think he's the most powerful guy out there, just that he's more powerful than anybody Khan's faced.

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 didn't say 'one shot', you've just added that. I don't agree about Gracia, but even if that were correct Garcia KO'd Khan so you're not making a point.
