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

[nycsmooth]

This would be a sensational fight in the UK and I would pick Kell 2 TKO Khan...

Spence vs Brook is f@kd. Brook's obsession with Khan is reinvigorated. This will last another year.

Khan won't beat any top WW. He just does not have it at 147 or above.

I realize hype is part of promoting yourself as a boxer, but believe me Khan is a busted flush.

Brook has maybe 2 or 3 big fights left in him though and gained a lot of credibility against GGG.

IMO Khan did nothing against Canelo apart from run, throw a few arm punches and walk onto a right hand.

Fan of both guys, but I can't see anything other than a KO win for Kell in this one. He's just too sharp and accurate for Khan to last 12 with him.

You're forgetting Khan's new power now that his hand is operated on and he got a sneaky chin implant at same time :-) - 2 big hitters - who will land first?

That's boxingscene for ya.. where everybody is undefeated and exclusively ****s 10s , ****** 10s...

But in all fairness Brook needs to face his boogey man in Spence. Anybody half a man and upwards will give him respect win, lose or draw.. this duck is not good , 147 for Khan but not his mando

THIS!!!

Maybe pay Spence a step aside while he makes another payday against Khan in a fight he may lose!!

We both know Spence is the best welterweight, but he isn't a big ticket yet..

A title is not a personal property. At some point you have to fulfil you MANDATORY obligation or get stripped!!!

The only way any "best" fighter who is not a "big ticket yet" gets a shot is by being the mandatory cos he is not going to be called out.

Brook DOES NOT have to fight Spence. He just needs to move out of the way and let the next two highest ranking fighters in the division fight for the title.

Jo Jo Dan was not a big ticket adversary when he got a shot at the same title.

Not sure why it should be different for Spence or maybe we do!!

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.

Brook just said it: he only goes down at 147 for that big money fight he sees in Khan...

(also: a fight in March, April would be too soon for that bad orbital bone injury to properly heal...)
