    Why Hasn't Khan Fought Brook Yet

    What is he holding out for. Neither are likely to become "the man" at this point in their careers.

    Both didn't win their biggest fights when they fought the best.

    Now is the time for a fight, no?

    Khan needs to "put the gun down and get knocked out like his father used to."

            Because he never felt he could beat Brook.

            By never fighting Brook, he could cling on to some deluded thing that he’s still a UK star and still the man around that weight.

            Losing to Brook would’ve been more damaging to his career in the UK than losing to anyone else because he’s a rival from the same country.

            He just couldn’t handle the thought of losing to Brook, that’s all. Even his dad said he was offered more money to fight Brook than Canelo, it’s on youtube, but he never took the fight.

            It’s one thing getting whooped by Canelo because he’s supposed to. It’s another to lose to your biggest rival in a huge domestic matchup.

              Khan still draws. Brook never did.

                  Apparently he's only ever been interested in a 70-30 split. He's a bit insecure about Brook beating him.

                  Plus Khan has spent much of his career chasing Mayweather, Manny etc. He doesn't have much excuse now though.
