    It seems funny that neither him or Khan are chasing the title holders lol. They should both have a warm up fight then square up later on in the year, then call it a wrap.

      Brook's eye sockets are made of titanium now. Khan's chin is still glass.

      Brook showed how good he is in the first few rounds of the Spence fight, subsequently showing how he can't go more than 6 rounds at 147 any more (and before anyone sounds off, I'm a Spence fan). Brook also put in a credible performance against Golovkin, but was overpowered in the end.

      Khan put in a couple of decent opening few rounds with Canelo, but got overpowered again, so Brook v Khan would be interesting.

      At 154 Brook will be able to go 12, and suspect it will be Khan boxing well early (like with Canelo) but Brook just being the stronger in there and eventually getting to Khan's chin. Its possible Khan makes the whole 12 without that chin-check, but I doubt it.

          They're both British, so the fight would be big in Britain...only.

            I get that, but is it THAT big of a fight in general to say it means more than a title fight? Is it making him THAT much more money than any title fight? Idk that it should or would do either.

              Excellent analysis. Anyhow I was just kidding about Brook's eye sockets. I'm neither a Khan fan, nor I am believing he will win if they fight.

                I completely agree.

                  Wooooooo! Sounds like an American over here, over there, over here. But probably right. Khans only draw anywhere is his entertaining ability to get clinically knocked the fack out.

                    This fight sells more than Spence-Thurman.

                      Maybe not as big as a title fight, but the Brits have been pining for this fight for some time now. And there is a bit of a rivalry between Khan and Brook.
