    Why would Khan fight Kell?

    1) If Khan wins, Brook will either complain that he was seeing 3 Amir's in the ring (eye socket injury), and almost definitely claim that he was drained at 147.

    2) If the fight goes close on the scorecards, Kell will be given the decision. Khan would need to win 9 rounds to 3, or score a KO. to have any chance of winning. (Eddie Hearn provides a meal ticket for the British Boxing Board of Control).

    3) If Khan beats Kell, the media will say that 'Who has Kell beat? and discredit any type of victory.

    All in all, Khan was to take the fight for his legacy, then he will never be given credit for his victory.

    If Khan takes the fight for a payday, that doesn't look likely with Hearn refusing to go lower then 55-45 split in Khan's favour. After tax, paying Haymon, Brady and Virgil, Khan is better of fighting Garcia or Peterson in tax free Nevada, with the money wired straight to a bank account in Dubai.

    At the end of the day, the only people who want to see the Kell vs Amir fight are those who want Amir to get sparked out. Why should Amir even give them that opportunity?

    GTFO here!

      First of all, Khan doesn't have enough power to Break the eye socket once again. Unless he tries to combo all of himself on that I socket alone which brook would easily avoid. Ten, Khan's china would likely be smashed before the bell would go six.

        Brook

        I'm not sure if they eve did fight Khan's chin would hold up for 12 rounds. Once his chin is shot his legs follow right after

          Because it would be a better fight than whoever he chooses next. You know it'll be a bum right?

              More excuses as to why the fight shouldn't happen when clearly it should. But here's a couple of points:

              1- Would be khan's best win by far
              2- World championship
              3- His biggest payday
              4- His biggest fight
              5- Credibility in general
              6- The fight the fans want to see

                Amir Khan is a laughing stock in the UK. He's famous for getting embarrassingly knocked out, and getting caught wanking on Skype. Himself and his family are constantly in the news for things which bring disgrace and shame on their religion. Amir knows deep down that getting flattened by Kell Brook would be the final nail in his coffin. He'd never show his face on these shores again.
