Comments Thread For: Khan: Talks To Fight Pacquiao Are Going Really Well

No, it does not. I can name one place I've ever seen it written that your resume "starts over" when you change weight divisions. Here. The NSB subforum on boxingscene.

I like neither fighter particularly.

But Khan is an established top fighter and has faced the whos-who.

Brook is a 30 year old prospect pulling a Wilder at 147.

To be fair even Wilder tests himself more than Brook

Brook is a big guy who belongs one weight class above, but he knows he can't hang with the likes of Canelo.

Even with this huge size advantage at 147, he's still scared to get into the ring with anyone with a pulse...

Brook is a middleweight posing as a WW, and picking on guys like Frankie Gavin and Jo Jo Can...absolute embarrassment

He'd lose his size advantage at 154..he's not a skilled boxer as some like to make out because if he were he'd fight at his natural weight

Are Khan and Golovkin fans beginning to form a ****** alliance?

Now Brook is "too big" for the little bullied victim Khan, just like Ward was too big for Little G

Without doubt, the two worst current fanbases and god help us all, they're starting to join forces.

Brook and Porter facing each other is just one fight, which in no way overrides the last 4 fights Khan has had against former world champions. Porter got draw with Julio Diaz in their first fight, many thought Diaz won. At the current time I'd say Porter isn't significantly above a prime Diaz level, although Diaz is no longer in his prime today.

Khan overtrained for the Algieri fight because while he was on the shortlist for a Floyd fight he was in training. That fight didn't materialize, Khan needed to find a new opponent and a new fight date as soon as possible but with the extended delay he ended up overtraining.

Part of the problem is that he isn't always situated close to, or even in the same country as, his main trainer Hunter 24/7. He travels back and forth between the UK and USA which can cause these scenarios. Hunter has said several times that he'd prefer Khan to be based in the USA all year round for this reason.

He's a B-Level fighter at very best. Deal with it.

He may very well some day prove to be better than Khan, but right now he's nothing.

who's ranked higher at 147 Khan has a better resume then ggg but that does not mean he would be ranked higher at 160 that why you can't all ways go by what you did at lower weight it who you fought at your current weight and poter better than anyone khan has faced at 147

LOL @ people thinking Khan can beat anyone in the top 5 at WW.

[Razcal26]

Khan has been in there with the biggest names in the sport, won some, lost some.

Brook hasn't done **** despite being a year older than Khan.

There's your answer. Far more people know who Khan is because he wasn't coddled by his managers while aging all these years.

His public visibility is very high, even if he is a dork and his personality sucks.

Not really.

His publicity isn't from his actual boxing achievements and that's all that really matters.

Brook may have done **** all, but he still known as the guy who came to the US and won a belt. Khan has not achieved that.

He talks about being a PPV attraction, what are his numbers and has he even been on PPV recently? Last PPV he was on was when Prescott had him doing the Stanky Leg.

So no, "far more" is a huge strech because when it resonates in him actually having a PPV that he headlines, that's when it'll mean something.

The guy talks like he has Ricky Hattons fanbase.

[VG_Addict]

I can't wait for Khan to get KO'd or look bad again, so people will finally realize that it has nothing to do with being drained, or overtraining. He's just not that good.

[bojangles1987]

In other words talks are nonexistent and we're 2 weeks from hearing how Pacquiao is ducking.

They share many fans. It's the Mayweather haters, Pacquiao fans, and Wlad fans all converging into a single group of fans. The only bad fanbase missing is the Mayweather lovers they all hate.

Brook isnt known outside of Sheffield.

Khan is a household name here, love him or hate him and yes he has achieved more than Brook in boxing...

When Brook is worth 20 million quid, then you can talk.

Yes Brook beat Porter, congratulations, what has he done since then?...absolutely naff all.

He's holding the title hostage and fighting in bingo halls in Sheffield.

Brook CV consists of one close controversial win over Shawn Porter, who arguably lost to Julio Diaz. Nobody knows who Porter is here let alone in the US.

Khan might be sitting on his arse as of lates and handpicking his fights, but he's been in many wars, taken risks, be it sometimes they never paid off.

Brook came out of his shell one time, in some odd 30 something fights, and has gone back into hiding again.
