    I agree. Winner of Brook-Khan in June has a legitimate case to face the winner of Floyd-Manny

      But in a general sense, I agree with your post.
      I disagree, American casuals are far more likely to recognize Khan from his Olympic achievements and time spent as a headliner for HBO than they are to recognize either Brook or Porter. Khan has just been promoted over here as a "next big thing" kind of guy for years longer than Brook or Porter have been (or ever will be).

UK fans and USA general interest would be allot more, the money is with Brook v Khan, not Thurman. UK fans follow Brook in droves, Khan also has interest in the UK and a bit in the US.

        Thurman only has a small fan base in the US that consists of CORE fans.
        I know. It's my personal preference, and I think it would be ideal, but you're right. It's going to be Brook/Khan if Khan doesn't duck his ass.

          Yeah, Mayweather has options across the board.

          Cotto, has a bigger name than Khan or Brook, all though, core fans would hate that match up.

            Trust me. Casuals only know Manny and Floyd. Khan, Brook, and Thurman don't even register. And casuals aren't watching Olympic boxing, at all. That's totally a hardcore thing.

              Yeah, but, then I think that title would lose all interest.

              Tim has no fan base. It's sad, but true.

                Brook will fight Mayweather in September. And Khan will b1tch and moan. And will end up fighting pacquiao, and pacquiao will end his career on a high note after getting beat by Mayweather. By knocking Khan out in rd 1.
                Yeah I think Khan assumes he's the man. But everyone here @BS, and in the US and the UK (even his fans know) he has no weight.

                Though he has skills, those skills need to pave the way.

                He's easily side stepped, for greener pastures.

                  May 2nd winner can pretty much do what they want.

                    Bingo!

                    They hold all the cards, unless, things happen to make the next challenger mandatory or very legitimate.

                    It will detract from whoever's legacy it they avoid that challenger. For history's sake, a unification is a Cinderella ending.
