Comments Thread For: Hearn: Amir Khan is Petrified of Facing Kell Brook

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Barry Hearn of Matchroom Sport says there is no way that Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs) will step up and face IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (35-0, 24KOs) in a summer showdown.

Hearn believes Khan is avoiding any possibility of defeat before securing a lucrative opportunity against Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao.

If Khan were to face Brook, and lose, it would kill the likelihood of getting Mayweather and Pacquiao. But if Khan were to lose to Mayweather or Pacquiao - the fight with Brook would still be there.

Khan looked terrible against algieri. He is'nt getting a shot at mayweather nor pacquiao. He better make the money Brook fight because the other real welters like thurman,porter,maidana,berto and ortiz all knocks him out.

Hearn is right but we are all sick of hearing the counter excuses from 'King Con '
I don't think after his pathetic showing against Chris A. that Floyd would not be able to justify a Khan fight , Floyd is not a guy who likes to be laughed at and now there is NO form from Khan .So after this performance Khan has limited his market, he can always fight a top welter other than Kell but won't earn any sort of Kell bucks.Trouble is fighting Kell as Hearn said would probably be the end for Khan.Amir has only his self to blame for this mess as he has tried to swerve it all since Garcia bounced him all around the ring.
Brook is the new kid on the block and is not tarnished with the beatings and vulnerabilities that Khan is burdened with, Khan is fading fast.

lol gtfo Hearn

until khan stops ducking. Brook has to take his mandatories.and i also thinks Rios will put up a hell of a fight

The thing that gets me pissed the most about the situation is if Khan fought and beat brook he would have a legit shout at getting the floyd fight.

Seems to me like he expects it without earning it . Big money fight with a belt on the line ??? What the f**k is Khan playing at

[Phatfarm1980]

What is this nonsense. Khan keeps talking about Mayweather and Hearn/Brook keep talking about Khan.

[Pago007]

Hopefully, Kell fights either porter rios khan, jmm, guerrero, algeri, alexander or some known ww who will be available in August heck even Maidana. I prefer Thurmanor Bradley or #48 but they won't be available

Everybody knows this is the case.

He's terrified of Brook.
