Comments Thread For: Brook Trainer: Khan Doesn't Want the Fight; Hope He Mans Up

[iamboxing]

By the time Khan mans up they'll both be pensioners. #CowardlyKhan

[thack]

No but being a olympic silver medalist, a unified world champion at lightweight and fighting the likes of canelo alvarez in vegas makes you PPV star. Oo the pic of canelo knocking out khan wow how hilarious and original....zzzz. errol spence gets no flack for fighting ocampo kell brook gets no flack for fighting some random scrub who lost to prehistoric mundine and lost to a guy with 3 kos LOL fury gets no hate for boring ass fights with 2 nobodies one being a cruiserweight but khan gives us a entertaining fight where he is dropped and drops his opponent more than once but hes a bum and a ducker. Foh your hate for khan is something personal most likely him being a rich succesful brown muslim athlete.

No you are wrong about your hero.....no surprise reading the rest of your deluded post.Khan was NEVER a unified light weight champion as you wrongly state, in fact his claim to fame at lightweight was being annihilated in 54 seconds of round 1 by a complete nobody.If you view him as rich successful brown Muslim athlete then as we say in England 'your clutching at straws'......idiot.

You're clueless.

Maidana, alexander , judah, algieri, collazo, malignaggi, barrera( although past his best is recognised as one of the greatest fws of all time),diaz are not 'unknown bum'. You however are an literal 'unknown bum' calling top level athletes unknown bums.

I wouldn't quite say Mongoose its clueless, but lets take a closer look.

Khan is blessed with elite level skills, but he learned a long time ago that his chin is his achilles heel, and all attempts to shore up his defence to protect his chin weren't working.

He got chin-checked by Prescott early of course, but he was also wobbled badly by Maidana, then after Garcia in 2012, it was clear his career was limited at the top level.

So he decided to go to 147 and cash out with a payday against Maywweather or Pac, but after 2012, he had to manage his career carefully to avoid getting Garcia'd again while maintaining his claim to a Mayeather/Pac payday - ie avoid taking risks with a series of journeymen (Molina, Diaz, Collina), light-punching opponents (Algieri), and names whose career had gone off a cliff for whatever reason (Alexander). All carefully chosen.

Then of course the Canelo payday came along, and he took it. It was his career in a nutshell - boxing beautifully, then chin-checked, this time in a brutal fashion. He had the built-in defence that it was above his weight-class, so shouldn't 'count' in any way against his qualification for Pac (Mayweather having retired).

So top level skills yes, but a fatal flaw in his punch resistance which meant he was always going to fail at the highest levels, then managing around that...for 6 years now, and counting.

No but being a olympic silver medalist, a unified world champion at lightweight

Olympic silver medal: 2004
Unified jr welterweight champ: 2011

Literally living in the past.

fighting the likes of canelo alvarez in vegas makes you PPV star.

By that logic Alfredo Angulo, Erislandy Lara, and Josesito Lopez are PPV stars

I hate how Khan has this "regular fish in a small pond" mentality. Khan seems fine fighting guys ranked lower than him. Why isn't Khan fighting the top 5 guys in each org? I honestly believe Khan could beat Clayton, Kavaliauskas, Jessie Vargas, Broner, Abduqaxorov, James, and Ugas. Beating them would mean more than beating Sam Vargas or Phil lo Greco. Right now Khan is ranked 11th in the WBC and 5 in the WBA. Pretty low for a guy with 'star power'. I want to see him do better.

[sicko]

Hell no he doesn't want to fight...
"Fight Can Only Be At 147"
"Kell Brook Can't Make 147"

[Hatesrats]

Is this the ONLY fight (Vs. Khan) Brook wants at this point or will he pursue another run??

You know nothing about boxing, khan beat kotelnik for the wba then knocked out zab judah to unify ibf in las vegas. I have no interest in what you have to say with your limited boxing knowledge. khan is always in entertaining fight and holds more star power than kell quitter brook. Brook looks like a desperate mong like witter did when he tried to say hatton tried to 'duck' him when he had better bigger fights lined up for him just like khan does

Khan isn't angulo, lara, and lopez in terms of popularity and khan has had a better career than angulo and lopez and arguably lara considering lara has never unified a division before (unless you consider the ibo legit). Also canelo fought lopez in 2012 and fought angulo/lopez 5 years ago he fought khan when canelo started solidified himself as a potential future hof actual. khan hadnt lost in 4 years when he fought canelo.

And i do agree khan could beat those fighters but i do believe khan will fight for a title soon after a couple of these tune ups after being knocked out cold and 2 years of inactivity

It seems like everything in Brook's career revolved around getting a shot at Khan. And now that Khan has "given up", seems like has too. Im 99% sure him and Eddie were banking on Saddam or Beefy holding a strap, and now that, that isnt the case anymore, they just wanna cash out

All those guys died already didn’t they? He’s old and done son.
