Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: If Amir Khan Really Steps Up, I'll Fight Him at 147

[LacedUp]

Just a random thought and probably a little bit delusional too, but with Wlad/AJ on the horizon, I'd really try to make this fight and put it as Co-Main if I was Hearn.

Of course, there are people who think it deserves to be its own, separate event but now, after they both lost (fights they weren't supposed to win but still) it'd fit perfectly on the undercard of a fight as big as Wlad/AJ will be. It'd sell out within 5 minutes and sell at least one million British PPV (but probably more) imo.

Would be cool.

But makes zero sense business wise. all four parties a looking at multi million dollars.

The likeliness is that most of the same people who will buy one, will buy the other,

It's funny it appeared that Brook did better against GGG than khan did against the diva but the reality is Brook really only won one Rd while khan won 2 , maybe 3 Rd.

If you are willing to fight Khan at 147 fight Spence then .

Why is the IBF making Spence Jr. wait? Kell just said he would come back "for the right fight." Sounds to me that Spence Jr. is NOT on the radar. Kell will come back for Khan or Pacquiao, but NOT Spence Jr.! IBF needs to push the issue!

Unification trumps Mandatories. That said, the winner of Thurman garcia will not be ready to fight Kell (even if they are willing to) before mid-late summer 2017. So IBF will force the Spence fight to purse bid before then.

If Vargas beats Pac tonight that is a fight that could well happen and give Kell a unification fight in March April '17. If Pac wins the belt I doubt he wants to fight Brook - but ya never know with him.

Short and long of it is that Brook can probably put off Spence for one fight maximum.

If I'm Khan, I sign off on this like yesterday. There will never be a better time or circumstance better than this to beat Kell.

You're probably correct, and that would be very sad! Spence Jr. deserves a title fight ASAP! If he can't get a title fight @ 147, I hope he fights someone like Shawn Porter!

You actually got it backwards. Kell was tied on two cards and up on the other when the fight was stopped. Khan was down on two cards and up a point on the other when he was stopped.

Don't know where yall get this "only won one round" nonsense. Kell was outboxing GGG, even though it was obvious that the pressure was getting to him and he probably wasn't gonna finish the fight.

In turn, Khan landed a couple good shots in the first round against Canelo. But Canelo got acclimated to the speed, started working Khan to the body. And by the third round, was in complete control of the fight.

This rat kunt would still be begging Khan if Khan were in the grave, lol at anyone who supports someone who has 1 okay win in 10 YEARS as a pro in ONE WEIGHT CLASS. Boxing fans are the worst, watch LacedUp get on this asap like a good little *** boi.

[Cinci Champ]

lets be real...Brook did better with GGG than khan did with canelo

to be fair they actually both did very well until the reality of them fighting bigger guys happened
