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

[Removed Now]

See this type of sht is wrong on all levels. Either fight at 150lb or don't do the fight.

Both Khan & Brook went up in weight and fought Canelo & GGG respectively. So if the money is good and both wants the fight, a catch weight of 150 would be realistic. After all, no title belt is at stake.

150lbs sounds like the magic number??? We forget Khan went only 1 lb over Super WW to fight Canelo while Brook made full 160....

If you ask me they should just split it 50-50 down the middle. Neither guy really has anything to hold over the other recently.

I agree but I think Brook even concedes Khan is the A side. Last time they were at the table which was before the Canelo fight it was 60-40 and Khan was suggesting 70-30. Brook even had a belt then

That was back then though, Brook getting smashed up by Golovkin and then Spence and Khan getting splattered by Canelo pretty much set both their reps back to zero afaic. Both have a routine quick knockout against undermatched opponents on their return, both are still basically equal in my eyes.

If there's anything to split them it's probably viewing figures, which I honestly don't know anything about. Maybe they should base their split off that.

I'm honestly not interested in this fight any more, especially not seeing Brook's corpse being dragged out at 147 after another 14 week camp.

I like that Deontay snippet . Damn he is quick but technically he has not improved but he gets anyone and everyone out of there. He is a freak of nature where does he get his power from his legs are like stilts .

A catchweight of 150 or 151lbs should be fair, otherwise they can fight other opponents. We can see how Khan would look against a Spence, Thurman, Crawford or a rematch against Garcia.

Unless Khan moves up they should forget about it. Khan had his chance at a massive UK fight and ducked it. **** him.

Boxing fans wanting CW's now? WTF is going on.

Brook's days at 147 are over. The way he gassed aftr 6/7 rounds against Spence, even though Kell was the one in charge and dictating the pace, proved that for me.

It was obvious he was struggling, even before the GGG fight. I give him credit for defending his belt but it was a dumb move in hindsight to take on Spence after the weight gain, an operation and coming off a loss.
