Comments Thread For: Hearn Sees Weight as Biggest Stumbling Block For Khan vs. Brook

[Bronx2245]

They should fight @ 150...if they "must" fight!

Khans a b**** he wont accept a lb above 147 and Brook wants/needs this bad enough to accept it at that weight. Massive disadvantage for Brook. If Brook dont stop khan inside 6 rounds its all khan for rest of the fight possibly breaking brook down and even stopping him late.

Khan not wanting to fight brook is the bigger stumbling block.

UK fans are way more loyal and love boxing more than Americans. How in the fck is this still a big fight over there? both Brook and Khan have been getting their asses whipped and this is still a massive PPV event. I lost interest in this matchup long ago.

Khan chin is porcelain whatever weight. Fight at 147 if you want khan.

Why are all these dumb ass posters talking like Brook will be a corpse... Brook said himself he can make it, so what's the issue? Plus Khan came up from 135 pounds, being the much smaller guy. Brook is clearly bigger so why the *** would he give him that advantage knowing how badly Brook wants it?

[solid_jab1987]

Firstly, Khan may not agree to fight Brook at any weight. Secondly, Brook has done too much weight jumping as it is and should accept no lower than 150 for this fight as it's clearly putting a strain on his body cutting weight. Preferably both guys should aim for titles in their own respected divisions as that fight should have happened years ago and means much less now.

Please stop indulging Hearn, Broke and Khon; the script was already agreed upon months ago when Khon signed with matchroom:

A couple of low risk fights for each, all the while calling each other out, then a cash out finale at 150 and walk off into the sunset.

This.

There'll be some likely manufactured drama about location, purse split, billing etc. Talk of alternative fights in the US for belts etc. Then, as if by magic, the public will be given the fight they demand...

Yes he can make the weight but it is a real struggle. I doubt he can make it safely, hence why he moved up a division. He has admitted himself.

weight isn't the issue, it's Khan's desire to make this fight. He has zero intentions of ever doing this.
