Khan may be ducking Brook but no way has Khan had it the hard way fighting in America against genuine top opponents. Brook has not hard anything the hard way, fighting bums till he got a title shot. He should get all the credit for beating Porter but he has nothing the hard way. Brook's fault he had a bad diet and lifestyle and thus struggled vs Carson Jones and had to wait longer for a title shot. They both claim they bettered the other in sparring but there's a reason Khan went to the olympics and not Brook.
Why Amir Khan ONLY Ducks Kell Brook

He doesn't want any other UK fighter to come to the US and become a star, especially not off of his name. I really think that is the case! So he basically just make up different excuses every time he is asked about Brook to avoid fighting him.
For Kell he just needs to come over, nothing left for him in the UK at Welterweight after his last fight. All of the action at Welterweight is in the US so him at Hearn just need to make the move to the US and jump into the action. Keith Thurman would be a great start!Last edited by sicko; 07-13-2015, 08:48 PM.Comment

I doubt this has anything to do with sparring. Khan is in a more superior position & he's trying to get the most value with that position. Brook will do the same when/if he's in a similar or better position as Khan. Brook will be a sellable fight today, a year from now & probably even two years from now. No hurry to make that fight & Brook is a legit threat to Khan so if he were to lose he's not likely to get Mayweather or Thurman, but if he loses to Mayweather or Thurman then Brook will still be there.Comment

don't htink many Americans will notice if Kell KO's Amir in WembleyHe doesn't want any other UK fighter to come to the US and become a star, especially not off of his name.

That's simply not true. Just because Khan is ducking Brook it doesn't mean we start to revise history and **** on everything Amir has done.They both claim they got the better of each other in sparring.
Kell also holds some resentment that Khan was given an easy path where he had to do it the hard way.
As for Khan ducking only Brook i'm not sure. If he goes on to fight someone with power in his next fight like Thurman or Porter i would say he is only ducking Brook, but i think he's ducking anyone who could send him on ***** street.
That would make sense if you were talking about Froch-Khan.Last edited by Box-Office; 07-13-2015, 09:29 PM.Comment

It started way back around 2010 or at least when the media started to pick up. Brook a WW on the brink of fighting for a WW title started to mooch off of Amir using his name to hype up **** house fights against Love"me"more N'dous and Carson "hands of stone" Jones while Amir was unified 140 lbs champ defending his titles in a foreign land. You'd think a guy would be worried about winning his own belt? Nahh.
The whole amateur sparring thing is so negligible, but Kell has done a great job of materializing it in to something more than that.
Now that Khan is at WW, Brook to his credit has finally won a title. While the plastic "rivalry" has been going for about 5 years, the fight itself has been relevant since, Brook won his belt. However, Amir is holding out for Mayweather, which by default makes it a duck regardless if he get Floyd. It is a no brainer amongst two Brits for a title, both stars. Hopefully Khan mans up and get it on for next summer.Comment

Khan has been ducking the top guys for a while. 140-147 are 2 of the best classes.
Khan fights going backwards
Algeri (limited fighter, who Manny knocked down 6 times the fight before)
Alexander (Porter beat when Khan ducked Alexander)
Collazo (older fighter who lost to Freddy Hernandez)
Julio Diaz (older 135 fighter who got ko'd by Kendell Holt, dropped Khan)
Carlos Molina (not the 154 titlist)
So in the last 3 years, Khan has fought nothing but soft punching fighters that have no KO power.
He ducked a Garcia rematch and Maidana Rematch. He could fight Porter, Brook, Thurman and Broner to name a few, but instead he has fought average comp. None of the young guns, but a bunch of guys on the downslide.
Can't wait till Khan goes away, he is cancer to boxing. Won't take any risk anymore, he wants to fight Manny and Floyd, what a surprise, 2 guys that have 1 KO in the last 6 years.Comment
