Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out

[kej718]

Bradley makes the most sense to me. They were supposed to fight years ago. Do that is the UK even. He is not a big puncher and both guys are coming off a loss so why not now?
Is he signed to Golden Boy or was that a 1 fight deal?

[Reloaded]

Not a Khan fan, but he has a point. Kell may have a title, but he's no big name and a fight with any of those other fighters makes more sense for his legacy, as well as financially.

Anyone in Khans position to say no to a title fight in his division that would be huge in the UK is a duck pure and simple , Brook will KO Khan and they know it , I dont blame him avoiding the fight but quit with the BS excuses .

Can we get some cliff notes

I'm a fan of Brook's fighting style so I'd like to hear good things about him

No problem mate.

Just listen to this fcking guy after Kell won his IBF belt:



But listen to this crap before Kell won his belt and listen to what Khan said Brook had to do to get a shot with him:



And people defend this crap?

There's more if you want?

Yup, Khan also wasted 2-3 years, but he fought a few decent names, who had some credibility. People in the UK knew Collazo from the Hatton fight as well as coming off a win against Ortiz. Algeiri was coming off a high profile loss against Manny, Devon was also somewhat known in the UK and had a history with Brook. He also fought Diaz in the UK. Molina however was the weakest link

Brook fought guys that nobody had heard of.

My advice is quite simple, sign with a real promoter

The reason why Jousha is having success is because he is a HW, Olympic champ, and the HW scene in the UK is alive and kicking

We don't have a 147 scene here, its all based in the US, so it makes logical sense to fight in the US, and possibly do a deal with a USA promoter or manager.

why is Kell so hell bent on fighting in the UK?

It's strange to see such a talented fighter have minimal ambition

He might be boxing's biggest underachiever as of now

[Razcal26]

I know his history. He likes fighting almost exclusively bs guys & he thinks Khan is a bs guy. He maybe right, I think he's wrong. But it don't matter cuz Khan is the guy calling the shots & apparently he says pass.

No, that's not it at all.

[Eff Pandas]

No, that's not it at all.

It sure seems like it. His resume is a bunch of bums & domestic levels guys & Shawn Porter more or less. Khan is like the hope f#cking diamond on his ****ty resume.

No clue, seems to me Eddie Hearn has sold him a dream. Kell seems a bit gullible, maybe possibly to loyal for his own good, not a good businessman?

Eddie tells all of his fighters to stay in the UK, and go the long route until you finally land one big payday towards the end of your career e.g Froch.

Degale ignored Eddies advice and went over to the US and got paid, or as Eddie likes to call it "Shortcut for a quick buck".

Eddie is UK's best promoter and he wants to keep that title, he wants to keep everything in the UK because he makes more money this way.

Brook has to realize he is not Hatton, he is not Jousha, he is not Haye....he is a guy who is watching from the sidelines, closed out from the rest of the world.

Yea Hearn might manage to bring over Peterson, or Berto, but then what? its going to be hard to keep bringing over people, especially the bigger names

[big_james10]

AMIR KHAN has promised his mum he will only fight four more times. But he has also told Kell Brook to forget it if he thinks one of them will be against him. Khan, 29, arrives back in the UK this morning after his brutal sixth-round knockout by WBC middleweight champion Saul Alvarez.

Unless he fights Algieri in a rematch in two of those four fights, Khan will be KO'd at least two more times. He knows that and that is why he only has four more fights left in his career.

If Kell keeps this up, he could be in for a rude awakening once he steps up in levels due to a lack of experience.

A big difference is how brits get excited as long as Kell fights. Imagine an American star like Floyd fighting a nobody. No one would care.

I think Kell and Amir will ultimately fight down the line. The latter cares about being exciting, which indicates he has some people pleaser in him.

Amir's treatment of Kell could turn out to be a good thing. The message is to shut up and step up. Fuel Brook to fight some good opponents.
