    Kell is more well-rounded and better in most departments, I would favour him to win the fight for sure, but I would be supporting Amir.

      Brook's last three opponents may not have been that good but they were probably better than Khan's last three opponents. Khan fails to stop any of his opponents and struggled some with Algieri. In contrast Brook goes through his last three opponents like a hot knife through warm butter. He quickly slaughters all three of them and knocks them all out. Brook is far more impressive to my eyes.

        Khan would definitely by the betting favourite if they fought.

          Khan has better hand speed, accuracy, footwork, footspeed...

            Did you really type this with a straight face?

            You are telling me Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bumzier could beat Algieri, Alexander and Collazo?

            How much crack did you smoke today?

              Weird thing about Khan is that he is better known for his defeats than his victories.

              That won't change against Canelo or Brook.

              I have never been impressed with his resume to be honest, aside from Maidana.

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.
                Khan's footwork is bad.

                I have no idea why people think Khan is some great fighter. He's fast, but he makes amateur mistakes.

                  I see. So it's still Khan Brook and Hearn are after. They'll wait for him, I see. Meanwhile, they'll continue to fool people by dropping names like Thurman, Garcia, Bradley, etc. I see.

                    Knock out specialist versus fighter with weak chin.

                    I very much doubt it.

                      Even stamina?


                      If you look at the pace Khan keeps for 12.
