i see brook being too tentative to take advantage of the gaps in khan's defence and being outworked to a ud. i still think khan is guilty of ducking the fight right now though

Khan has horrendous footwork. What the hell do you consider good footwork? That's probably part of the reason he gets slept so damn often. He's always off balance at the worst possible time.
Being able to shuffle your feet really fast does not mean good footwork in the slightest.
What is your version of an engine??Comment

I don't know much about Brook and I have only seen him fight once - when he beat Porter for the title but I was very impressed with what I saw. Porter is a very skillful fighter so Brook did exceptionally well to win.
I've seen enough of Amir Khan to know that he has weak chin and he is very beatable. The fact that his name gets mentioned in the same sentence as Mayweather is beyond me.
I pick Brook to stop Khan.Comment

Khan by 9-3/8-4 decision.
Kell's power is overrated especially when up against Khan. Don't get me wrong he has good power but it's nothing that i think will give Khan any serious issues and he don't throw wild shots anyway. He'll have his moments and land some good shots but i don't think he will seriously hurt Khan at any point.
In fact i'd go as far as saying their power is close to equal although Brook is more accurate and poised....
The latter which will be his downfall if he fought Khan as he would constantly get beaten to the punch and tied up, neither can fight on the inside so Brook can't exploit that weakness. Before you know it he's 4 rounds down and some urgency is needed and i'm just not convinced Brook can fight that hail mary style he would need to clip Khan.
Be careful what you wish for could apply to Brook if this fight happens.Comment

Still having a tough time callin this fight
There are questions about Brook i need answered, Jo Jo Dan was unable to tell me
Rios will also not tell us anything
I will go with Khan and thats because i am seeing improvements, as well as him being in with better competition throughout his career
Also we'll have to see who Khan fights next and how he looksComment

Khan doesn't have a particular reach advantage over Brook. i think both are around 70". But his in-and-out movement is much faster than Brook's. Brook's timing is better though. Way better.
Engine. I don't know. Both have shown to fade late in fights. Khan usually starts very very fast and after 4-5 rounds doesn't look as sharp. He's changed his game plan now - which I'm not sure would be an advantage against Brook.
Kell Brook has way better footwork and balance. That's undisputed. He also has better headmovement and punch variety.
And of course, naturally bigger and much stronger.Comment

There's no question that Khan has improved a lot under Hunter. I think the style he employed vs Alexander would suit him better vs Brook than the strategy he used against Diaz and Collazo. He needs to be in-and-out quick so Brook won't be able to counter him.
Khan can also forget about fighting inside at any point in the fight. He needs to machinegun Kell and then take a walk. If he can do that, I think he can win.
But Kell showed me a lot against Porter, and he's just getting into his best now. And he's not slow either.Comment

1. Khans footwork is much better since joining virgil
2. Khans chin is overatedly bad if your only thoughts on why brook will win lie in the idea that he will "smash khans glass jaw" then you're in for a shock.Comment

Always thought Khan had what it took to win this fight on points.
It's a shame that it seems he doesn't share the same confidence.Comment
