Well thats a shame Kell Brook is arguably one of the most talented guys in the Welterweight division. When he first turned pro, coming from the same gym as
Prince Naseem, he was hyped as being the new Naseem Hamed. In my opinion Amir Khan is flawed fighter who has overachieved, whilst Kell Brook is a massively talented fighter who has underachieved.Comment

Khan's team were trying to make the fight behind the scenes, that goes without saying. Khan thought the fight was green light because Broner fronted as if he wanted the fight to Khan's face.So Khan's people weren't going out of their way to make the fight like you said? It was just Khan saying in a couple interviews "yeah i'd fight Broner". Just like I thought. You're right though, same advisor not manager, my bad on that. I don't put too much stock in what these fighters say publicly anymore man, cause behind the scenes it's a totally different story
But Broner then vanished while Khan's team were chasing him to sign the contract. He just waited for it to all blow over. There were no interviews from him answering Khan's persistent call outs. He wanted nothing to do with Khan the same way Floyd didn't because the style match up is too difficult man. It's a very easy fight for Khan, on par with the Judah or Alexander fights.Comment

Actually it doesn't go without saying, which is why i'm asking for proof that they tried to make the fight. You just "thinking" they were trying to isn't good enough and wouldn't stand up anywhere, not even on an internet forum. Heck anything would do, an interview or something from either Khan or his people saying they contacted Broner's people and sent an offer out there to make a fight.Khan's team were trying to make the fight behind the scenes, that goes without saying.

broner confirmed there were some talks, but he said khan didnt take the offer on the tableActually it doesn't go without saying, which is why i'm asking for proof that they tried to make the fight.

the offer was a cw fight,
which porter then took instead of khan, kenny porter said on the boxingvoice that khan wanted to fight broner but ab was asking for cw's
there was another 147 boxer who broner offered a cw fight to, i think it was the ghost, who also turned it down
broner is a clownComment

From what I recall that was the main sticking point, Broner was only willing to fight at a Catchweight. plus Broner seemed to think the fight was financially worth more then it actually is.broner confirmed there were some talks, but he said khan didnt take the offer on the table

Amir Khan is ripe for the picking right now, dont see him fighting for much longer I think great opportunity for Broner.
Broner is the harder Puncher so he definitely has a better chance then most people think. On the flip side Amir Khan is all speed and no power. But even the speed was missing in his last fight with Algieri..!
Guys who base their technique on speed need to train constantly through out the year, if you dont use it you lose it.Comment

They can't fight because they are in different weight classes and neither will budge. Broner will try for a 144 pound catch weight and Khan will only fight at 147. If they fought at 147 Khan should win on points if he is careful and doesn't run into a bomb. Broner is good at catching guys rushing in carelessly and he certainly hits hard enough to turn Khan's lights out. I give Khan the edge because of his faster longer punches. Khan if it goes the distance and Broner is the more likely one to score a KO. This fight would be a clinch fest. Neither guy likes pressure and when things get too hot for them they clinch and hold.Comment
