Comments Thread For: Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook - Hearn Hopeful Fight Comes Off in 2017

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

'I think [Khan and Brook] are looking at the end of May and they only day we have here is June 4,' said Hearn to Sky Sports." I try not to get too excited and we try to keep the talks going behind closed doors, and hopefully we can get it over the line.'

Would have loved to have seen this fight when Khan was under Roach. That balls-out, 100mph attack. Ok sure Brook may well have countered him and knocked him clean out, but Khan would have been buzzing him all night long until that happened. Khan under Hunter seems to be far less exciting but only slightly less likely to get KTFO.

Khan's either going to come out with:

"I've left it to my team" - Meaning: "I'm making such ridiculous demands, they'll never agree"

or

"He's not on my level" - Meaning: "He scares me"

Hearn knows that Spence Jr. is going to whoop Brook's azz if he tries to come back to 147! That's why he's looking for alternatives like Liam Smith and Amir Khan! Brook really wants Pacquiao, but Pacquiao does not want that work! If Brook can't get Pacquiao, he might as well vacate and fight Khan or Liam Smith. My choice would be to see Brook fight Jermall Charlo or Miguel Cotto @ 154!

this is one of those fights that have to happen whether a title is on the line doesnt matter it doesnt even matter what weight its fought at. to big a rivalry

Brook the fat ass hypejob doesnt want to get knocked out by spence so he's going after the weakest chin in boxing....

Khan knows his time is nearly up better make that $$ while he can. Brook will stop him.

I think Brook at 147 again is a car crash, except against Khan maybe.

Brook needs to stay at 154. Charlo might be heading up, but Charlo v Brook at 154 could indeed be tasty.

Cotto won't fight anyone like Charlo/Brook/Lara these days, reason he went with Kirkland, he's on the retirement cash-out path. I hope Anne Wolfe puts something back into Kirkland to make Cotto regret it - but suspect Kirkland done now.

I'm guessing Pac will be Crawford. Roach has already said he likes Pac at 140, and Roach seems to call the shots with Pac. Then with Arum saying he also likes it, could be game on there. Don't think Brook gets a look in with Pac.

I would just love Brook to move on and fight Spence and leave Amir where he is ...nowhere.
I would love Khan for once to fight a welterweight top five contender ...which he has NEVER done.

Both of the above won't happen No.1 the fight that's lost most of it's sparkle makes them both the most money.No.2 Khan is just looking for the smash and grab and this IS why he has never risked his glass jaw against ANY top contender.

Poor Amir but at least he might have gotten rid of the taxi driver that I feel was the reason for Khan NOT fighting any of the top contenders.Bless him Khan is daft enough to step in with most it's just the taxi team could smell disaster and it could be back to the cab!
