Comments Thread For: Hearn: Khan vs. Brook Must Be Next - Or It Will Never Happen!

[thack]

Lol......Even Hearn must know Khan blew his chance to be in any real fight. I've always known how fragile Khan is and why he has not risked anyone outside of a big money fight but I didn't think he'd declined quite as badly as that.

Anyone who would buy a ticket to see the last nail in Khan's coffin could not call themselves a boxing fan , he is completely done and will only be hurt from here on in.

Khan now needs protecting from himself , I can't stand this deluded liar but still wouldn't want to see him hurt.......game over!

Khan is in a severe decline. Either he gets a chance to make serious money with Pac or he and Brook get it on.

Khan can't wait for Pac anymore because he will get KOed by a bum

Brook should focus on 154 titlists and forget Khan.

Hopefully Pac and Brook ignores this fraud. 6 years without fighting a top welter. I want Spence, Bud or Thurman to use him as a tune up. We need at least one more highlight reel Con KO. Hes a fraud and hasnt been good since 140.

It just depends how confident Khan feels imo.

If he isn't confident he'll beat Brook then I don't think he will fight him, his ego won't let him.

Brook is obviously desperate for the fight so if it doesn't happen we know why.

Going on last nights display I just can't see who he can fight if not Pacquiao or Brook. All the top guys at 147 will ko him and even the 2nd tier fighters have got to fancy their chances.

It could have just been down to a bad training camp as he fatigued hard, but Sammy Vargas shouldn't have been that difficult a fight for him regardless.

After this embarrassingly poor performance why would anyone short of a fool pay to see this used up kid on a PPV platform?

Spot on ....for me his only live one was Maidana and that was eight years ago!.......He is a complete fraud ......good residence.

Khan still doesn’t wanna fight brook. He’s such a ******

[Clegg]

Khan isn't willing to fight Brook. If Hearn/Brook don't realise that after all these years it's a bit sad. Hearn likely realises it but makes a profit on Khan fighting Vargas types so goes along with it for now.

I like Brook, but multiple times in his career he has seemed a bit unrealistic or gone in the wrong direction. He's in a difficult spot because the top guys at 154 probably beat him and he doesn't make special money for the risk as none of them are huge names. But he's 32, has taken damage, sent his body up and down in weight, going back to 147 with a 16 week training camp could leave him drained like DLH and others were trying that. He needs to set out a path at 154 because he's not going to be at his best at 147 and Khan/Pac seem to prefer the idea facing each other. If he had a belt at 154 he'd tempt at least one of the top welters to move up for him.

It could be that Pac is willing to come to the UK to fight once but not to sign any long term deal. In that scenario it makes more sense for Hearn to give Brook the fight as no point paying big money just to have him come over and chin Khan. It would be funny if Brook got the Pac fight and Khan was left to cry about it for months, but I'd rather see Brook fully throw his hat in the ring at 154 challenge one of the champs.

The only chance Khan has at 147 against any top opponent is Brook, and he only has a chance because Brook will be badly drained. Even at that I think Brook would have too much for him
