Comments Thread For: Khan: Kell Brook Fight is Biggest in British Boxing, Now It's Close!

[Boxing Logic]

Eh. I'd be more interested in this if Khan got a good win at 147 first and proved he can still take punches. Regardless Khan is always in entertaining fights and Brook has a fairly entertaining style as well.

Khan v Brook, possibly at the MEN or 02 around March or April with AJ v Wlad at Wembley. Those are two massive boxing events and will probably end up being the biggest fights of the year in terms of viewership and finances, unless Canelo/GGG happens or May/Pac 2.

This fight can happen now because Brook is stuck between a rock , Spence mandatory, and a hard place - packed 154 division. Who goes in favorite in a Brook-Jermall fight? Or Andrade-Brook? Even Canelo-Brook?
Somebody has whispered some sense into Brook's brain and he is probably learning to swallow his pride [beltholder] and think of his long term bank balance.

Well, Brook has been calling for Khan for some years now. Brook is in between a rock and a hard place, but so is Khan. He literally has nowhere else to go. He couldn't get the May or Pacman fight that he has been trying to whine his way into and finally got a Canelo fight. There are no more soft touches at 147 he can run to, so he might as well go after the money, which would be the Brook fight. Fighting each other is the best way they can make the most money and still be a big draw later.... maybe

'Still take punches' wtf.....have you ever seen what punches do to Amir Khan when he takes punchers...F. Even featherfisted Wille Limond had him on the deck.If you call this entertaining fights seeing ole glass jaw rolling around on the canvas you must be some kind a sadist .

Brook gonna retire Khan! Cant wait.

I dont think it will be at any of the 02 or the MEN arena as its too big of a fight and both the guys will need a lot of money and so will require more tickets to compensate the purses. Not really sure when this fight will happen this year since Wlad v AJ is the big one and ramadan is in the summer.

IT is NOT the biggest fight in British boxing AJ ,Tyson , Haye that mix for one is far ahead of someone touting a fight coming back after such a devastating concussive knockout loss in his last fight.
It's still a decent fight if only to see Khan levelled yet again but it's missed it's spot.It is no longer a Wembley fight o2 ...proberly but don't let the fool con you there's better bigger British fights .....Imagine AJ V either Tyson Fury or David Haye for starters.....sorry Khan you are deluded.

where were you 2 and a half years ago? Porter was the american lion back then. He lost to brook and all of a sudden he was a nobody on these boards.
Spence needs to get promoted better. He is too inactive for someone so good.

porter was never an american lion.... He was just a bum rushing american hyepjob with no boxing skills...... Even then brook had to hug porter for 12 rounds like a straight ***** and won a close decision..... If porter came to england to hug brook for 12 rounds he wound have never gotten the belt.... So be thankful..... Kevin bizier, no no dan and gavin hahahaahahahah what a resume for brook

He was on these boards. Porter was favorite going into the Brook fight. Porter was going to dominate WW for years to come. Then it was Thurman's turn. Now it is Spence's time. We'll see.

Khan will demand the lion's share and screw up the fight
