Comments Thread For: Khan on Brook: Needs Better Wins, Rios is a Lightweight

[brettWall]

If Brook is too scared to fight Thurman, then Khan should pursue One Time if he doesn't get Mayweather for some reason. Fans just need to give up on Brook and let him fight more no nos and bum bums.

Man, this guy.

He's thick as absolute shit it's not even funny anymore.

It's a crap fight, but there aren't many options available at present. Most of the 'top 20' WWs are unavailable for an early September date - especially with Mayweather having not yet decided on an opponent.

Welterweight isn't all that deep.

'Crap fight' is a little harsh I would say.

Shows how fickle some people are on this site...

lol what? Weren't you one of the people talking about how haye was ducking Klitschko and laughing at his fans incl. myself?

Why should we be fans of boxers who are not giving us (his fans) what we want to see? Ok - one or two fights, fine. But he's been avoiding Brook for 3-4 years now, one excuse after another - talking about Brook's competition and then fighting equally bad competition on his own.

It got to a point where I was sick of supporting this guy for ducking, for being deluded, for having an extreme high opinion of his own self, way too self entitled and just overall a massive cunt. A bit like Haye actually.

About 4 people pulled out of the IBF final eliminator to do their own thing. Khan pulled out, Gavin pulled out and then Bradley pulled out when he was supposed to fight Porter.

Are you suggesting Brook could have fought Bradley instead of Gavin? You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Yes could of and should of. Granted he wasn't a mandatory but fighting him helps build his rep. Plus again fighting Porter in a elim or Vargas for a title, now if the OG Elim with Khan had happened Bradley would of done it(that's money). So how don't I know what I'm talking about?

His ego would be crushed if Floyd chose Brook; I swear I hope that happens.

Only FrankieBruno mentions Khan in with Floyd and Manny.

But he simply couldn't have. The Gavin fight was made at a few weeks notice and was already on a stacked card where Hearn was paying two champions to travel already. The time and money wasn't available to pay Tim Bradley to come over to the UK and fight Brook. That's if Top Rank would send him over anyway.

Bradley-Brook was not viable at that time. It can happen at the end of the year, Brook has no fear of Bradley.

Well he's right. But damn shut up already

Exactly this. If they are looking to get Brook out every 3 months or so, then you gotta have fights that are more straightforward to put together.

Khan, Brook, Porter, Thurman, Bradley and just about every other name fighter all got a fat ego and and promoters all want to make a fair wedge off of them as they are one of the big names in their stable.

You just don't thrash out the terms for these kind of fights in a couple of weeks.

Resumes get built, hype trains get derailed and some go on to prove themselves to win unifications and 'super fights'

People need a bit more patience.
