    When Brook is brought up, they say "oh that's the guy we're trynna get Khan to fight". When Amir Khan is mentioned they say "that's the guy who will give Mayweather his first loss".
    So much cringe.

      If Khan REALLY wanted Mayweather, he would have beaten Kell Brook on Showtime and UK PPV in front of 80k at Wembley and claimed a world title.

      That's how you get your long term goal.
      Agreed.

      That boat has sailed already. Instead of beating Alexander when it mattered, he did it when it no longer mattered. He didn't even need to fight someone as dangerous as Brook in the first place.

        Stop using that ridiculously overused phrase.

        And he's playing the board game "Risk".

        As in I don't want to "Risk" going over to the UK and getting knocked the *** out

          Why do people say this rubbish, why should we rush Khan Brook? If they both keep winning, in a year it'll be much bigger. The only reason to rush it (which matchroom are) is if you're scared of losing.

                It's not actually rubbish but hard factual reality.

                Khan turned Alexander away, Alexander gets beaten, Khan choses him the next year.............What does it prove!? Nothing except Khan likes leftovers

                It's big enough right NOW, it's been years now and these guys are not even as big as May and Pac and just as much as a let down that was, this will be the same. The money is there now so let's get this crap out of the way, it doesn't deserve a 5+ year wait, no fight does!

                  The fight has been talked about for 3 years how's it rushing?

                  Khan said multiple times if Brook won a world title he would fight him. He said it before on ringside, he said it live on Sky after the fight.

                  when it came down to business - he started making excuses.

                    In the UK maybe, people still call him Kell "Brooks" in America and Kelly Brook is a more familliar name than Kell Brook and that is a fact. Khan is very well known for a lot more than boxing. Not saying it was right but there is certainly no dis*****g that the fight can only get bigger.

                      It has only been relevant, since the last year when Brook won a title. The rest were Brook the WW calling out a LWW Khan whilst fighting Matthew Hatton, but using Khan's name to stay relevant. Kid was ripe for title shots, but worried about a Unified champ a weight (levels above) below him.
