    Amir Khan's interview from last night

    http://********/ifh61YQrSwY


    I know a lot of you don't like Khan and although it's clear he "avoids" the Brook fight, I highly doubt it's fear but more the fact that it propels Brook to new heights by just having two fights his whole career. For example, many journalists have alluded to the fact that Danny Garcia was not a star till he beat Khan and now he is a big name. He puts his foot in it a lot of the time but he is a good dude.

    Listen to the interview and form your own thoughts, I thought it was a good interview and all his points are pretty valid. Also, great to see all the charity work he's doing.

    Summary
    -Mayweather comments the other week were not meant to be disrespectful
    -If they both keep winning, the fight will only get bigger
    -Face it, the fight will always be there
    -They can both have good lucrative careers without this fight even though the fans want it
    -Khan makes $1.5 million for fighting the likes of Algieri, he wants to fight Mayweather to have an opportunity against TBE, not for money as the Brook fight probably pays more. Khan has a net worth of $30 million (6 times as much as Broner) so he doesn't need any more money.

    So long story short, he's ducking Brook. Cool.

      I like Khan although sometimes he says moronic things lol And he does harp on a bit much when it comes to Mayweather (then again, the media love asking him that). All in all though, the guy is one of the few legitimate stars in the sport under 30, has been a millionaire since his early 20s and can afford to pick and choose his fights, which riles people up.

      Do I want the brook fight? Of course.

      Do I want the May fight? Even more.

      Would I rather Khan v Bradley? HELL YES!

              '' You don't get Kell Brooks name mentioned with the likes of Mayweather , Pacquiao.'' -- Khan. Really? I have heard of these potential matches being considered.

                Khan's been ducked by the majority of high level 147 boxers of recent times, including being ducked by Floyd 4 times, Marquez, Pacquiao and Bradley. Brook ducked Khan to fight Frankie Gavin of all people .. I mean that just sums up how afraid these guys are of Khan - obviously Floyd probably being the most scared of them all.

                Just hope these dudes stop running sooner or later, Khan's clearing out the division just by presence alone!

                    Naw kell was never mentioned with mayweather. It was only on the forum he was. They never asked mayweather about a fight with brook.
