Are khan fans actually happy about this fight?

[LacedUp]

It will put the brook fight in jeapordy though can khan get back Downto 147 ?
I think khan is scared of losing to brook rather than losing!
But I hope khan embarrasses canelo and then fights GGG lol. Who'd have fought that

[New England]

Not a Khan fan but I'm on board. I have to support Khan moving up 2 weight classes and chasing a big fight in an era where other fighters are managing risks and fighting Willie Monroe Jr.

virtually every top MW of the last 3-4 years passed on an opportunity to fight golovkin. martinez, cotto, canelo, ndam, quillin, geale [who eventually fought him but did drop a title to avoid him] all the way back to sturm when golovkin was promoted in europe.

golovkin has a better MW resume than cotto, canelo, for example. and he'd have been a giant favorite in those fights if his opponents were willing to fight him.


ignore than he's ducked. call him a duck for fightin willie monroe when no other fighters had the stones.

you guys really are like children

And every top welterweight passed on Khan so he moved up and chased the big fight. No sympathy from me.

i don't think it's a coincidence that virtually every british fighter is fit to talk on TV, and American fighters often hardly have a third grade mastery of their own language.

No, Pacquiao and Mayweather passed on Khan, not every top welterweight. There are plenty of top welterweights willing to fight Khan.

Surely a joke?

The only big fight at welterweight for Khan is Brook. He could have fought Thurman and Porter in front of a crowd consisting of the 3 of us at a small Casino in Connecticut but he chased the bigger fight. Mayweather and Pacquiao passed on him so he moved up.
