      He didn't say that at all. He said Khan-Algieri isn't actually that bad a fight but it just looks worse considering all the **** that Khan has been spewing over the past year about how he is on Mayweather's level and Brook isn't on his level.

      And then he signs to fight Chris Algieri.

        He still technically said that, "Brook Algieri is not a bad fight". Brook said in an interview today straight after talking about his Gavin fight that Khan is taking an easy way out looool.

        How Brook can say Khan has had it the easy way is beyond me and if you believe him; you are deluded. Also, stop saying you're a Khan fan because the slandering you're doing, you clearly no longer are a "fan". Fans show support and provide constructive criticism, not abuse.

          Search for it on Youtube, it was a month or so ago. He pretty much just discredits all of Khan's opponents post garcia even though Brook pulled out against one of them twice, Broner for one of them an Thurman is fighting one of them.

            Yeah and I thought Sir Joe blocking him and Carl crying over it was funny. This is the same Froch who PMs abuse to critics and then blocks them lol.

            But you said Froch hadn't even fought at British level. Those were your words. But he was British and Commonwealth champion and had faced all possible British and european level supermiddleweights by that point. I didn't say Joe should be worried about him. I didn't even say he ducked him or anything like that
            Comprehension is key. I said "above" British level. Why would I say that when he was already a British Champion?



            Which European level fighter did he box before Pascal?

You said once I said something about Brook and IBF ranking - another complete lie. Never said anything about the IBF rankings.
            You telling others they don't understand is really lolz. You become a mandatory by climbing the rankings of wait for it the alphabet orgs. Why bring that up as a leverage to add credibility to your argument when you **** on that same thing when it doesn't suit you?

            But please point out where I'm being inconsistent. I'd like to hear that.
            ****ting on Collazo for being WBA top 10 then bragging about Froch being a mandatory. Yet you claim alphabet orgs are etc etc.

              Brook thinks Khan has had it the easy way, because he's been promoted so much and has had big paydays his entire career whereas Brook has had sht paydays from start to finish.

              That's the worst part. If Khan hadn't talked so much bollocks about Algieri being a C level fighter before he fought Pacquiao (and got brutally schooled) and then said he needs better fights than Brook to get Mayweather - before fighting Algieri - then people wouldn't be talking so much crap about this fight.

              Of course everyone would still be disappointed but not to the same extent.

              He brought it on himself.

                At the end of the day, like I've said that Khan is a top bloke and we'll see where they both are in 18 months time. Can't wait for him to put an end to Kell Brook once and for all for more than $3 million. Now instead of worrying about Khan's "delicate whiskers" focus on something more productive like how to make millions yourself. There's more to life than slating professional fighters who put their life on the line on forums.

                  And why has Khan had more opportunities? Because he was an amateur stand out and Silver medalist at 17, he had more talent than Brook and rightfully gets given those opportunities. Khan earned those oppertunities and has certainly not had it "easy". If Brook was as good as Khan in the amateurs, he would have had those opportunities.

                    In a way he is actually right, I don't know if you remember or if selective memory serves this purpose, but Khan overtook a whole ton of domestic fights back in the day, they made him look like he was ready for the world before he had even cleaned up at home.

                    Kell didn't have the exposure and had to make his way to the top of the domestics for ages before he was given an international opportunity. He's pretty much been fighting genuine fighters at same weight and beating them, you can call them bums, but they were genuine at the weight, not weight drained, bloated or over the hill.

                    Also he has taken a 0 of an undefeated fighter, no matter how much you discredit either fighter(brook,porter), you have to ask yourself is Khan doing these things, while claiming his entitlement to greatness?

                      And for the record, I've never said a bad word about Brook. I've supported him in every fight and will do excluding any Khan fight.
