    Eddie, thanks but no thanks for stating the obvious.

    Now if you and your charge can kindly vacate and move on to your money fight with a fighter who is not interested in you that will be a good thing for the fight game!!

    Oh and by the way, if the fight ever happens, it will be a pick em fight.

    Said it before and will say it again, Brook is as overrated as Khan is underrated.
    How is Khan underrated? He hasn't held a world title in 4.5 years, he's about 6 years removed from his best win (Maidana), which many people thought he lost, and he's got 4 losses on his resume, three of which were by brutal KO.

    Most of the dislike directed at him is due to his personality. He's an egotistical, obnoxious, deluded moron. As a fighter, I think most fans give him a fair shake, acknowledging his agility, speed and workrate. He just can't hold a shot and he's not great in the trenches. His tactics are also all over the place at times, and he has no real pop.

    While he has good attributes, a good boxer-puncher with timing will almost certainly catch up to him because of his weaknesses in other areas.

      So Chris Algieri doesn't count? Bc he surely fought back against Khan... And what about Bundu?.... He fought back against Thurman.

      Spence just did what those guys could not do.

        I doubt Brook takes the Spence fight, but I hope he does so Spence can punish him for prolonging this for so long. Coward.

            Talk about holding a belt hostage. Mr Mandatory until the mandatory is a real threat.

            I understand wanting to fight Khan and get a lot more money but it seems like Khan isn't rushing to make the fight and Brook isn't gonna give Spence his shot so why hold up Spence's career even more.

            Honestly it's boxing and I understand it from Hearns/Brook's perspective but as a Spence fan it sucks to see him stalling in his prime for what is looking more and more like a fight that isn't gonna happen.

                ^^^^This **** here, I'll never understand. As a former Mayweather fan (until he retired and became an attention whore) I don't understand how everyone is bashing a proven Pac but at the same time gives Brook a pass. And he hasn't done **** impressive throughout his career except barely beat Porter and gave up against GGG, now he's a star smfh

                  Call Kahn a lot of things but he's not scared to fight anyone. He will fight Brooks in due time, I think he wants it to continue to build.

                    How many Brooks do you know? I know of Kell Brook.

                    Who is this other Brook you refer to?

                    Perhaps an NYC dynasty of Brooks the majority of us are unaware of?

                      This is what I mean when I say boxing is more of a business than a sport now.
