    Brook won't let him do any work on the inside bro. He will be allowed to excessively clinch.

    Watch Chaves vs Rios, Chaves easily outboxed Rios and clinched at close range even though the ref was on his case and kept telling him not to, Brook will have the freedom to clinch as much as he wants without the ref bothering him. It will be a repeat of the Chaves fight.

      There is no excuse to why he shud hold a title hostage just because he doesn't get a fight with Khan..


      Brooks has enough fun fights against 30 odd bums.

      But..... Rios went the distance with Pacquiao, according to Khan doesnt that qualify Rios as an A class opponent? Or does it not apply in Brooks case? I mean, atleast Rios stayed on his feet the whole night.

        He should have beat Bundu, than maybe he could but he lost to Bundu.

          I dont care about what Khan said,

          Brook is a title holder, Khan isnt

          Brook wants to play the moral high ground, then he needs to show and tell

            Brook is showing no signs of lacking ambition.

            Khan was the only "name" available for him to fight but he hasnt been successful with Khan ducking. I imagine its frustrating when people are telling you to fight someone "good" and then bash you for calling that person out.

            I bet 90% of the Boxing world rather watch Brook-Rios over Khan-Algieri

            Who else could he fight? Mayweather and Pacquiao hold the division hostage and Haymon has his own plans for Thurman and doesnt seem to want to throw him in a title fight yet.

            You guys claim Khan-Brook WILL happen within 15 months soooooo theres no problem with a Brook-Rios and Khan-Algieri(If it has to happen) to set it up

              Brook wants to play robin hood, he needs to prove his worth

              Porter was one win, that other 30 odd wins he has are cans

              Khan for all of his ills has gone through the gauntlet and paid the price, fought in other boxers backyard, got the win, sometimes lost, got knocked out, etc..

              Brook existence is based on Khan right now, every move he makes is based on Khan. He wants to take on easy fights in order to 100% guarantee he doesnt lose.

              I am now hoping Khan doesnt give him the shot, so Brook has to go the hard route. Brook isnt the warrior he likes to make out he is, cunning fella, very cunning

                He wants to take on easy fights in order to 100% guarantee he doesnt lose? Dude you just described Amir Khan... How could you say that about Brook when he wants to challenge himself against Khan? LOL

                The landscape is MUCH different these days in Boxing. Amir Khan was coming up in the 135-140 division which was a breeze for someone with his talents, up until he ran into Garcia.

                Brook is coming up in the Welterweight ranks which is full of politics and fighters exclusive to networks and promotions. Khan had the luxury of coming up before the "Cold War" had started. He wasnt campaigning in a division that was ruled by Mayweather and Pacquaio.

                Yes their paths were different.. Khan was apart of the golden age of Golden Boy Promotions and Brook has to take what he can get with just Hearns. You should know all of this already, you seem like a smart person.

                  Chaves was slightly ahead, but Rios was coming on strong. I don't really think Chaves was winning like that. He was getting more and more uncomfortable as Rios relentlessly applied the pressure. And Rios' pressure is very calculated and effective.

                    Its as simple as that

                    Its not Brook begging when the WHOLE boxing world is asking and ridiculing Khan about it. I bet some of you Khan defenders were the same people calling Mayweather a coward for making "excuses" and blocking the Pacquiao fight


                    Gotta love double standards

                      Khans took his fair share of risks,

                      I dont want to go back and forth with long essays

                      Brook is the title holder, and his existence and career shud not be based on Khan

                      There are other worthy challengers just as good as Khan

                      Who Brook wants no part of...
