    Kell Brook vs Amir Khan - Breakdown of assets

    Here's my take on who's got what over who between the champ Kell Brook, and the challenger, Amir Khan:

    Footwork: Kell Brook
    Headmovement: Kell Brook
    Jab: Kell Brook
    Balance: Kell Brook
    Stamina: Even (both not the best)
    Chin: Kell Brook
    Speed: Amir Khan
    Power: Kell Brook
    Experience: Amir Khan
    Freshness: Kell Brook
    Heart: Amir Khan (?) - Has been knocked down and out multiple times but keeps coming back
    Ring IQ: Kell Brook
    Timing: Kell Brook
    Shot selection: Kell Brook
    Physical strength: Kell Brook

    Do you agree with my assessment? Anything to add?

    If the fight was made I think Khan should be somewhere around a 4-1 underdog.

    Brook is far better in basically every aspect.

    Khan has hand speed, Brook has everything.

      No way Khan would be a 4-1 underdog, it would be 2-1 either way at most.

        I'm one of those people who has never really understood the Amir Khan hype. He's like Oscar in terms of being a media darling, but nowhere near that level of 90's DLH talent. Fast, fast hands and great footwork. Those are his two world-class assets. So it's no wonder that he was a much better amateur fighter than a pro. Kell Brook would only need to land one good punch in that fight.

        But you're trippin about the 4 to 1 odds bro lol... Odds would most likely be in Khan's favor slightly, if the fight were today.

          4-1 underdog?

          And in what way is Khan the challenger for the IBF 147lb belt?

          You do realise he is currently challenging for the lineal MW championship of the world right?

            In my opinion he would be a 4-1 underdog. He does everything worse than Brook.

            How would he not be the challenger?

            If he miraculously wins his next fight, he will no doubt give it up instantly as the next guy he would have to fight is GGG.

              Khan's footwork is really average. He's very bad at using his feet to judge distance and get out of trouble.

              He's got tremendously fast hands, yes. But he still punches a bit like an amateur.

                Irregardless of who you think has the better assortment of attributes Khan would almost certainly be the favourite or 2-1 underdog at worst. He's not even 4-1 underdog vs Canelo.

                  After he gets knocked out, I believe he should be a 4-1 underdog. As I said, he does everything worse than Brook plus he's left his prime some time ago.

                  The guy struggled with Chris Algieri and Julio Diaz in recent times ffs. It's like you guys choose to forget certain things.
