    I've never thought I'd root for Khan in a boxing match, but that might be the case if he grows a pair and fights Brook.

    Brook is Wilder of the WW division - wins a belt, and then wastes a year of his career on fighting guys he's supposed to beat. The only difference is, WW is more popular than HW and has better fighters.

      Your Pac/May/Bradley point doesn't make any sense. I'm not saying you have to be in a certain earning bracket to earn fights. Kell has done nothing but use Khan's name and it goes as far as Lovemore N'dou ffs. So, if he think he can fight bums and have an easy route to a Khan payday then forget it.

      p.s. If Khan went to TR he would be making more because he has actual selling power. Bradley-Alexander unification sold 300 ish tickets in a 10 k capacity.
      Haha. Wow man, you're a crazy fanboy.

      At one point I actually thought you were a decent poster.

      Why doesn't it make any sense? They've all made more than 4 x what Khan has made. Has Khan made more than 4x what Brook has made in one fight? No.

      So it makes perfect sense. Just not to your fanboy logic.

        He was out for 6 months with a stabbed leg. So he wasted 3 months and now he's back against the #8 contender (also fought a mandatory)

        Wilder is fighting guys not ranked in the top 20 and avoids his mandatory. Hardly the same.

          Why only Khan?
          Most of the other welters don't want to fight Brook either at this moment. I went through the names one by one in a thread the other day.

          I'm neutral on Khan & Brook. I don't even really want to see them fight and I understand why Khan doesn't want the fight yet but Khan fans attacking Brook just looks silly.

            After his mandatory, he fought Frankie Gavin.

            The #8 contender is 1-1-1 in his last 3 fights, but should be 1-2 as he definitely didn't do enough to draw with Bradley, no matter how badly Bradley was hurt in that 12th round.

            I don't care about rankings, both Wilder and Brook haven't done **** all since they won their belts.

            Molina, Gavin, Dan - they had no chance of beating respectively Wilder and Brook.

            Hence my analogy.

            Also, both Wilder and Brook said they're willing to fight the has beens that called them out - Briggs and apparently Mosley.

              Why don't you want to see them fight?

                No excuse for the Gavin fight. that was crap. I agree he didn't do enough to draw with Bradley but he still busted him up good and it was not a one-sided fight by any stretch of the imagination.

                He was also ahead against Rios clearly, before he started to clinch like a queen for whatever reason.

                Brook is not willing to fight Mosley, GTFO with that. People are reading waaay too much into a comment that was said with a smile on his face.

                  Can anyone honestly say that another top welterweight is fighting a better opponent than Chaves?

                  Thurman fought Collazo who's not as good as Chaves
                  Bradley is fighting Rios who was behind vs Chaves and just fought Jessie Vargas
                  Khan is fighting whoever he can dig up from LWW
                  Mayweather is fighting Berto
                  Garcia just fought Malignaggi

                  Let's hear it.

                    And it's not on the Klitschko-Fury undercard you muppet.
                    Now now...no need to get annoyed by the truth. Brook and Chavez is just part of the program where Tyson Fury and Wladmir are the main event and on at the end of the Sky Broadcast. Brook is the main event in Sheffield i'll give you that but he is on the undercard part of the Fury vs Wladmir event.

                      .
                      According to what source is Diego Chaves a top 8 welterweight? On boxing rec is he 10th. Where is he number 8?

                      Khan's beaten Maidana and Devon who was in the top 10 welterweights when Khan fought and defeated him.
