        Is Khan vs Thurman a bigger fight than Brook vs Khan? No. Not in a million years - it's not even much bigger in the states as Thurman is also not very well known. If Khan fought Brook at Wembley in front of 80 thousand people that would cause buzz worldwide incl. in the states!
        Khan vs Thurman is bigger than Khan Vs Brook in the united states, way, way bigger. It will be on American prime time television, and it will be built up as Thurman's KO power against Khan's explosive speed and his "fragile chin". Brook Vs Khan is a huge domestic fight, in the same bracket as a Groves VS Froch. Groves/Froch was huge in UK but it wouldn't be anything of much significance in the United States.

          Way way bigger? What makes you say that? Is Thurman a well known name in the state? No. He's had like 1 high-profile fight.

          It would definitely be of significance in the states! At the Algieri post fight presser the american press were asking about Brook not Thurman.

            Wouldn't be surprised if Bradley stopped Khan in the late rounds at this point. Even Algieri's punches made Khan look worried.

            I used to be a Khan fan, but he's really fallen and thinks he deserves better. It's like Lamont took away his confidence and Garcia took his heart.

            He's not worthy of fighting Floyd as of right now. Even Mayweather would put Khan to sleep.

              Mayweather could retire and Khan will still be begging for the match.

                Its curious: Brook and Hearn seem obsessed with Khan, when, frankly, there are better opponents to face.
                Khan has options - simple as that. Brook is begging for this fight and its undignified.

                  Which options does Khan have?

                  Brook has way more options He can work with everyone. Khan can't.

                    The fight would happen, am not really fuss. I dont Brook to fight better names over the next 2/3 fights and then we would see where we are with Khan, Khan for me would fight anyone but now he has to be careful how he goes about it. In the past he has taken fights that he shouldn't have, because he is looking at TBE am expecting him to do what he is doing now.

                      Brook has options too, he can fight someone like Maidana, Garcia, thurman, even alexander..just to name a few, this is why am a bit reserve about calling Khan out on this.
