Comments Thread For: Brook Feels More Confident of Facing Khan Next Summer

[G_Child_123]

Everyone's boxing resume has some degree of relevancy. We can't just dismiss a resume off-hand as if it has no value. Khan has fought much harder opponents throughout his entire career from the beginning, all the way up to today.

The more harder fights you're in, the more wars, the better the opponents, you gain experience but you can also potentially chip away at your own durability and longevity in the sport because you put yourself in a situation where the risk of losing is much higher than if you're continually fighting bums.

It's important to point out that Brook never put himself in the firing line again and again by fighting a long list of decent opponents (In fact quite the opposite - he fought 99% bums), whereas Khan has fought a long list of good opponents throughout his career time and again.

I'm not dismissing resumes completely, I'm implying that more recent fight history as part of those resumes is far more relevant.

I mentioned about Khan's promotional backing in the early stages of his career which probably gives you a strong indication of why he was sharing the ring with the likes of Barrera and Brook was starting out on the path of fighting world title eliminators.

Khan is vulnerable because he's not exactly hard to catch clean, not down to wear and tear.

Prescott since beating Khan has gone 8-7 and he has a career 60% KO ratio.

Let's not act like knocking out 17 farmers before fighting Khan makes him a monster; since stepping up to a decent level he has an 9-7 record and a 20% KO ratio.

Wow....that makes for some grim reading for the Khantards

Hope that means he's given up on Floyd.
If the talks are legit, expect them to fight relatively soft opposition next.
The likes of Guerrero, Alexander, Chaves, Van Heerden etc.

Brook fought soft opposition for 99% of his career.. there's absolutely nothing new there - in fact all the opponents you mentioned are better than 99% of Brook's former opponents

Brooks a bitch, lets the adrenaline runs his mouth and once he back to normal he scared shitless of the person he called out lmfao.

Sure, let's just look at their last 4 fights then.

Khan fought 4 former world champions (Diaz, Collazo, Alexander, Algieri) in his last 4 fights while Brook fought only 1 former world champion in his last 4 fights (Robles, Porter, Jo Jo Dan, Gavin).

Khan's level of opponent overall is far superior than Brook's, just in his last 4 fights alone.

Thing is, you can apply that to Khan's entire career too. The gulf in level of opposition between Khan and Brook is unimaginably vast. Khan is fighting a much higher level of opponent, on a much more consistent basis.

Ppl on this site crack me up, Brook looked good against Porter. And the more I watched the fight the easier it was to see.

While I agree Khan's resume is better than Brooks, I don't doubt that Brook can spark Khan out with a right hand.

It amazes me the amt of ppl who will write a negative comment about Khan wanting Floyd or his past opponents like Algieri, but when it comes to Brook vs Khan everybody switches lanes.

This is a fight that needs to happen for the UK, let Brook shut Khan up. There's a reason he hasn't fought this fool for the last couple years.

And until Brook is in with an elite level, we won't know, Khan's been sparked out by guys who aren't on the elite level so how are we criticizing?

[SalimShady1212]

You said name one puncher Brook has fought, now you've changed it to "besides Porter" lol

If Prescott was some feared puncher KOing Colombian street sweepers then Porter is clearly a more feared puncher considering he's KO'd and hurt people at higher weights who were actually of a decent or world class.

Can you not read? I said arguably Porter, were not talking about Khan anymore. We're talking about which punchers Brook has fought and you Avoided the question again. You're Reaching buddy, sorry Dirk you've lost this one and you're not gettin off the canvas.

Porter had one Ko in two years before Paulie and after Brook made him do drug testing his power has somehow disappeared. He went the distance with Le Greco Porter's 57% KO sends shivers down my spine rofl

Why do you think Brook is perfect? As a Khan fan I accept his downfalls but you fail to acknowledge any blemishes on Kell's record. Life and death with Carson Jones (fun fight I rewatched today) isn't particularly impressive but I guess that's in the past...but Prescott is fine to bring up. Fighters improve and you are getting pretty laughable now hahahaha.

[VG_Addict]

Where do people get the idea that Khan has great potential? He's 28, I would think he's peaked.

[thack]

This is the ****** **** which makes me laugh, how does it benefit you fightig someone who is completely irelevant now? Garcia and Peterson make sense. I don't think Manny Pacquiao will be avenging any of his early defeats as they make no sense in any shape or form. Use your brain and consider context before making such ****** comments. This is for all fighters, not just Khan.

Calm down twat and think about what you're trying to say.....my post says he has NEVER mentioned a rematch not now brains , NOT THEN ...you like a lot of Khan worshippers seem to be as weak with your English as your deluded fool is around the chin !
