Comments Thread For: Hearn: Khan Scared To Lose, Face Brook For Legacy

That's because Khan ended up struggling against a kickboxer

Regardless of his past he is a former world champion so he has to be given some sort of respect. He was game, Khan was bad and it ended up being an entertaining bout. By the way I'd back that kickboxer over everybody in Brooks resume including Porter.

Of course YOU would

Of course YOU would

Do you not think Chris could UD Porter like Provodnikov?

Not a chance in hell.

We know Eddie, we all know.

Other than the 5 or so Khan lovers, of course.

Think Khan views it as too big of a risk but if he can't get Mayweather or Pacquiao then no other fight makes sense for him. If he doesn't get Floyd next, I've got a feeling that it'll be Guerrero or hopefully, Garcia.

Of course he thinks its too much risk plus his ego would not allow him to ever accept a loss to kell brook. As long as he keeps headlining on ShowTime, he can always claim to be better than kell brook without ever actually proving it. If hes not careful though kell brook could eventually surpass him in popularity and the algieri fight was a step in the direction of that coming to fruition. I am from USA so I dont know how you British think, but it baffles me that the British fighters want so bad to become big names in the USA when there are bigger fights for them in the UK which would allow them more money and also more popularity in the eyes of their countrymen. I dont see how khan can even walk down the street there without getting heckled. Eddie Hearn is absolutely right, a brook khan fight will make khan alot more money and also enhance his legacy more than the inevitable ass kicking he would surely receive at the hands of mayweather or pacquiao. Unless khan is planning to become a u.s. Citizen you would think he cares more about his legacy and reputation in the UK rather than in the USA where he will only achieve so much popularity with his skill set. We love foreigners here, basically our whole country is a bunch of foreigners but there is nothing special about khan for us to get excited about

It's Hatton-Junior Witter all over again... Khan - big in America, former lineal world champ at a premier weight class, multi weight champion, chasing a fight with the elite of the elite (one that he'll lose but make big money for). Brook - padded out CV, one alphabet title in 35 fights, modest fan base nationally and not much interest outside of Sheffield, desperately chasing the domestic payday and sounding desperate and bitter the longer he chases...
I thought you were much better than that Ezekial! Tell your permatanned promotor to get some more hair plugs, stop mentioning Khan and get you some big name 147lb fighters to beat and create your own legacy..

Khan has lost all creditability. He should fight Brook and then the winner gets the payday.
