Comments Thread For: Hearn: If No Khan in 48 Hours, There is Marquez/Thurman

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Kell Brook defended his IBF welterweight title in Sheffield on Saturday night and then stepped up his bid to face Amir Khan.

Sheffield's Brook thrilled his home city with a fourth-round stoppage of Romanian Jo Jo Dan, crowning his comeback from a life-threatening stabbing in Tenerife last summer.

It was Brook's first fight since beating Shawn Porter to win the world strap he had long coveted, and he left the baying crowd in little doubt as to who he wants next.

"If you're watching, come and get in this ring with me," Brook told Khan. Promoter Eddie Hearn added that Wembley Stadium was free for the pair on June 13.

Khan won't take the fight. Khan will only take softie fighters.

Surprised no one posted in here. Forget Marquez he wants to retire. Fight thurman and not bum berto and rios

[JayCho]

Does Bradley have a fight lined up?
Brook wont get any credibility from fighting rios, i really hope it isnt him

[Hype job]

If he fights Thurman and beats him he's as legit as they come and the future of the division.

They're throwing Thurman name out there to brave on Brook but trust me they couldn't melt down and pour Brook on Thurman at this point.

[Box-Office]

Name dropping.

Let's do it, that's the 2nd best fight at 147.

Say he does fight and beat Thurman, then what? He has to jump through a ring of fire in the middle of the ring? That make him 'legit'?

Thurman vs Brooks make it happen, solid win for either fighter.

I don't think you'll hear back from Khan the reason being he has a massive opponent lined up for the end of May but he don't want to fight in June.....Khan fan's; it would be easier to defend Jack the ripper !
