Comments Thread For: Brook: Khan Wouldn't Live With Himself if a Brit Beat Him!

[DARKSEID]

He's cool with getting knocked out within 4 rounds by columbians and puerto ricans though.

Joe Calzaghe v Froch and Hatton v Witter were for the same thing... They both ducked their rivals, Khan still has time to fight his one. Let's hope he doesn't adopt Joe and Ricky's cowardly attitude and never fight his main domestic rival before he hangs them up.

What? They were both £5m+ PPV fights?

Those two fights were the same principle.

It's completely different in this case. 1) Brook is ranked higher than Khan 2) He's the champion 3) Brook is a PPV fighter, Khan is not 4) they will make more money fighting each other than anybody else

I get all of that, still doesn't excuse why those fights didn't happen. I couldn't also make an excuse why the Khan-Brook fight hasn't happen yet. That doesn't excuse the fact that the fight should and could have easily happen.

I don't care what they make, they ducked the fight that most were looking forward to.

When Carl Froch became Calazaghe's mandatory, he went up to Light Heavy to fight Hopkins in a far bigger and better fight. How can you even compare that to what Khan is doing?

But that's a key issue in boxing and in comparing the situations. You can't just play dumb to it.

I had no problem with Khan ignoring Brook before because Brook was still on the domestic scene whilst Khan was at world level.

Now they're both at world level at the same time and the same weight and there's a ****load of money on the table. That was never the case in Froch-Calzaghe or Hatton-Witter.

I don't care for excuses... They both ducked their main domestic rival just like Khan is doing now, they didn't want to risk losing because losing to their domestic rival who has a lesser name than them can derail a future pay day for them, Khan is doing the exact same thing.. Some of you guys made excuses for them then and now but you guys are quite quick to critise Khan, and I wonder why! For me am not prepared to critise Khan for now, if he gets Mayweather next who we all know he has been obsessed over them am sure he wouldn't mind fighting Brook, personally I think Brook beats him just like I thought Witter beats Hatton back in those days, this is why both are NOT prepared to take that risk until they have collect their payday...I care for reasoning not excuses.

Calzaghe was justified. Just like Froch was with Degale.

Hatton-Witter, how ever was not. If Hatton wanted the fight it would've happened while Witter was a World champion.

Just because brook is getting noticed now does not mean that khan abandons everything for him.

This is kind of one of the main issues, the brook camp knows khan holds the better cards in this negotiation, but they are kind of so resentful about it they can't approach it how they should.


khan is thinking fcuk this, I wanna fight mayweather/pacquiao and brooks camp are being knobs... Makes a difference to how khan probably sees it.


What khan cannot do is avoid a top top fighter if he doesn't get mayweather, but then he might be toooo invested into getting floyd that he doesn't have a solid plan b.


The brook fight will always be there, it doesn't have to happen now, unless brook is scared of losing hence needs to cash out.

You mean you turn a blind eye to valid reasoning. Ok, makes sense, you were never the sharpest tool in the drawer.

Calzaghe was justified. Just like Froch was with Degale.

Hatton-Witter, how ever was not. If Hatton wanted the fight it would've happened while Witter was a World champion.

Already been explained, when Witter finally won a world title, Hatton was already on the road to Mayweather.

Just because brook is getting noticed now does not mean that khan abandons everything for him.

What did he abandon? He had no plans and no opponent.

Brook fight was there was £5m+ in front of 80k at Wembley for a world title and he chose Chris Algieri for a 1/5 of the money on Spike TV and looked like ****.
