Comments Thread For: Khan: If I'm Scared of Brook, Then Why Would I Fight Canelo?

[LacedUp]

Lol, ducking by moving up two weight classes to fight Canelo?? Khan might not fancy Brook, but I think its more to do with him loving the power he holds over them... Brook's CV is pathetic, he really does need to fight someone. I believe all the stuff Frank Warren said about Brook and his dad now, used to think it was Frank being his usual bitter self, but it all rings VERY true with how his career has gone since leaving Warren...

Frank has negative things to say about every single fighter that left him. It's never his own fault.

As has been said many times. It's less risky for his career as a whole to fight Canelo than Brook.

It's not that he's scared of Brook, he's scared that after all the drama they've both created then if he was to lose his reputation and career would be in tatters. Fighting Canelo at middleweight is a safe option. No-one is giving Khan a chance in hell to beat him so the worst that can happen for him is a 1st round KO that everyone expects, the best however is that he wins. Even if he fights Canelo until the 5th round before getting knocked out he's surpassed everyone's expectations. It's a win/win fight for him.

Hmm, I see Khan using the Ricky Hatton fanatics defence here...Bravo

For the record i see Brook defeating Khan.

Definitely. Everything he said about Kell Brook sounds true now though. Refusing to fight Mike Jones multiple times, at the time for a belt, coz he only wanted Pacquiao was the main gripe...

Because your ego will be destroyed if you lose to brook

does this applies to floyd had he fought khan and lost?

does this applies to floyd had he fought Marg and lost?

Amir Khan is a proven serial liar so the only way to get to the truth is with the facts.
Khan aside from beating Maidana and only just hasn't as a professional done much more and to be shouting out the legends .....nothing.
Like a previous post said he's already got his excuses in order here.
If like Khan said the Brook fight was easy why not take the money .....(more money than he'll earn from Canelo) instead of fighting Algieri and just sitting on the sidelines taking big risks that big fights on a little reputation will come off.Brook would hammer Khan of that he and I have no doubt.
Khan recently said that more people are talking about this fight than they were Mayweather v Pacquiao , Amir and his fans live in a very different world.Amir the majority of people around the world say this fight for many reasons should not be happening and it is indeed a mismatch a cop out by Canelo and Oscar.
You say you can do it , I say you're a liar or at best deluded.
Canelo is not invincible but as hagler said regards to Hearns you will be eaten up like Pacman (not Manny !).
Odd thing is, all that said I would prefer he does well as boxing mismatches on a big stage are indefensible and a points win to the people who hate the sport and look to ban it at a nosebleed.
Unfortunately the talk seems to be how long Amir can last and now he's talking about maybe stopping Canelo late on , Amir there will be NO late on.

and so is floyd

[Nightfall]

he is scared and both will knock khan out. to bad the brook fight is'nt ever happening because alvared is going to damage this idiot

[Doctor_Tenma]

It's more that he does not want to lose to Brook, his dislike for him stems that deep. Canelo is a win win situation, any rational person knows Khan doesn't stand a chance.
