Comments Thread For: Kell Brook Eyes Return on Joshua-Ruiz, Then Fight Amir Khan

[Removed Now]

This fight should had happen long ago and khan and brook are just looking for a pay day. Please don’t support this fight unless you’re English.

That fight is about 10 years too late.

[Elastic Recoil]

Eddie Hearn is a ridiculous promoter putting Brook in with Golovkin.. trying to set up Dave Allen vs Povetkin? Brook was psychologically finished after the GGG fight.

[Hands of Stone]

I'm not particularly a Brook fan but the man fought Porter in his backyard. Then fought GGG and Spence back 2 back. Now he's been out of the ring a year at this point so it makes perfect sense for him to have a tune up fight instead of jumping right into a high level fight. I know he's said otherwise but deep down he obviously know's better. Crawford's gotta defend his belt against his mandatory anyway.

Not questioning the fights he's already have. Win or lose, he's had those fights. I am alluding to what has he done since and even more sad, the constantly begging Khan for a payday when you and I know how erratic Khan is and how he just enjoys messing with Brook. Tell me in your hearts of hearts, you think Khan is actually going to follow through with the fight, I don't think so and Brook said many times he's done with Khan but he has failed to line up any meaningful fight, self imposed inactivity and the usual trend of waiting for a Khan handout.

Who could Khan fight Nov or Dec? I thought he would be done for the year.

Let's not seriously mention 'Khan" and 'fight' in the same sentence.

Khan is about ready to cash out so yeah. After the beating he took from Crawford there's really no whee for Khan to go at this point. If not Brook he might as well just retire but Khan knows hes not ready to just yet.

As far Brook he's been in as meaningful fights as you can get already. BIG fights. He's not going to be fighting top 5 guys in every outing, plus he needed some time off anyways to let those eyes heal up.

And not to say Brook is up there with the all time greats or anything but SRL took 2 years off after his big fight years of then 3 years off, Floyd took years off after his big fights as well u can throw Ward on that list too he was off throughout most of his PRIME years. IJS it's a common occurrence at the world class level.

[MASTER OF you]

even a blind kell brook still knocks out glass jawed kahn!

[R.KHLMS4LIFE]

WTF are you talking about dude. Brook jumped up to 160 to fight GGG and probably should have never even returned to 147 but he wanted to prove he wasn't scared of Spence and thought he could beat him. After that fight he moved up to 154 and is only returning to 147 for big money fights because there is none for him at 154.

Brook hasn't even competed at 147 in a long time and doesn't even know how his body will respond to the weight now, he knows full well he could be drained at the weight now. So under those circumstances Khan isn't a tune up or a fight he should jump right into because If your drained Khan can beat you. Khan beat a lot of decent fighters don't let the fact that TC washed him fool you, TC is probably the best 147 of this generation.

.

Agreed fully on everything you said until you said Crawford is probably the best of this generation. How many fighters do we see jumping up 2 weight divisions to fight the Boogeyman no one wanted to fight at that point give that Boogeyman ggg a heck of a fight better than anyone except canelo And then come back back down and fight a killer in Spence and make that the closest fight Spence has ever had as a pro. Now as for Crawford being the best of generation is like mmm well only know if Crawford signs with pbc If your American you'll get what I'm saying Crawford is like the ucf football team of boxing looks marvelous winning cause weak opposition can be upperteir teams but can they beat a clemson or Alabama mmm they'll make it a fight til the 4th qt then lose. Well crawford fights nobodies cause signed to top rank sadly. Can beat 90% of welterweight but can he honestly beat Thurman pacquiao Porter convincingly ( not some controversial win) then can he beat Spence. Had Kell Brook not been aged badly by those broken eye sockets could Crawford beat a prime brook. Sadly we'll probably never know until Crawford signs with pbc and even then who's to say by the end of his contract with TR he won't have aged ( not everyone is Hopkins pacquiao and Mayweather and stay there prime past normal age 95% dont. It's sad Crawford is with the wrong promotion at the wrong time in career. It's a waste of talent

I think Khan wins for some reason
