Comments Thread For: Hatton: If No Khan-Mayweather, Amir Should Face Brook

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton believes a potential meeting between Amir Khan and IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook could spark a rivalry unseen in British boxing since Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank's battles in the 1990s.

Brook's promoters appear the more eager of the two camps to agree a date in 2016 as Khan continues to jockey for position to be the 49th and final opponent for Floyd Mayweather Jr. If they should fail, Hatton believes a British super-fight could be the making of the pair.

"Amir's got as good a chance as anyone (to face Mayweather). When you look at the names left out there for Mayweather to fight, he's already beaten Saul Alvarez, and Miguel Cotto and Gennady Golovkin are too big at middleweight, so among fighters around his weight I can only think of Khan or Danny Garcia.

lol common Hatton, we've been saying this forever. Khan/Brook is almost a pipe dream even though it shouldn't be.

[brettWall]

Brook should face Thurman. Forget about Khan.

So I guess, Brook is never going to fight a top opponent other than Khan?

It's insane that he ONLY wants to fight Khan. I want to see that fight too. But if not, there are other fighters that exist.

Why not fight Spence? Thurman?

I would rather see Khan vs Brook over either of them vs Mayweather

Kell Brook aint fighting anyone who poses a serious challenge until he gets his his dream fight with Amir Mayweather Jnr

That would be great, but they want to do a Wembley fight, so it has to wait next summer. I don't care about that and would love for it to be next if no Mayweather.

No matter how many times I picture that fight I can never see anything other than Brook Ko'ing Amir. Khan is very easy to hit and Brook packs a solid punch. Ko within 8 rounds.
