    Khan's career is in free fall at this point. I honestly think the Brook-Khan fight is about 30% less big than it would have been after Brook fought Porter. They should have fought last summer. Instead Khan toiled to a win over Algieri in a fight no-one cared about. Brook fought Gavin in a cakewalk no-one cared about (even though it was ludicrously on PPV).

    At this point, Brook's career has stalled and Khan's is in a tailspin. Pairing them now will still result in a big fight but I think a lot of fans have lost interest, TBH. Khan's name value has dropped. He's a part-time boxer these days. Brook's profile is not what it was. His credibility has suffered, as has Khan's. This fight was once mouthwatering, but no longer.

      Broner though, hasn't looked like he ducked Khan, he isn't even in the same division.

      Garcia v Khan 2 is very likely considering both are at 147lbs but the team just have to put aside egos now.

        Floyd was in deep negotiations with Khan, and Khan had even signed his contract. It was virtually a done deal, until Floyd changed his mind in favor of Maidana. Khan would've almost been silly not to try.

        And almost same deal with Pac. He came close. Such a huge fight, he had to try.
        Where do u gyys come from? Lol

          Khan has stepped up and failed against top opposition but he has a chance to beat Mayweather? wheres the logic? Judah was past it and so was Barrera, Paulie can't punch so he was ok in that one.

              And in terms of DG, his dad is saying what he's saying to rile people up. Like I said, it's a viable fight cos both DG and Khan are in need of a big fight following some down time and if egos are put aside, it happens.
