Brook's never been in trouble, I think that would play a big part in this fight. Brook doesn't have much top level experience and we haven't really seen him have to battle through. Khan has shown us that unless he gets sparked clean out, he has some grit in him to fight through. With that being said, Khan's never really shown any skills in ad******g, which we saw pretty clearly in his fight with Peterson.
I don't think Brook really had the strength to knock Khan out. Khan's problems have came with power punchers. Khan excells when his opponent is coming towards him, which is something he shares with Pacquiao. Brook likes to come forward and try to bully the fight, and I think that'd play right into Khan's hands, which in turn are a lot faster imo. Brook WILL be better than Khan some day, but right now I think everything goes in Khan's favour. He's an unnessisery risk though so Khan wouldnt try to rush the fight. |

If i sit here and look at both fighters Khan has fought better fighters than Brook but they are not really 'WORLD CLASS'. Barerra, Judah are past it, madania just throws bangers and peterson is not the best in the division by any step of the mile. Khan is fast but the problem is we have not seen Brook out of first gear or even out of his comfort zone. He is fast and strong and I personally don't think the fight will happen cause its a huge risk for Khan really is

Like them both but prefer Brook.
Would put Khan as favourite though at the minute, just want to see Brook in big fights asap, after this Carson Jones fight i want to see him step up the competition from then on. |

I went with Brook.
I might be being a bit harsh but i really don't like Amir as a person nor do i like his fight style. He still looks like an amateur. Very eratic with his punching and looks untidy, panics under fire, NO INSIDE GAME AT ALL... I think Brook is much better suited to professional boxing with his style. |

This lad's special you know
Faster than bullets and cooler than snow He can box at range, he can fight inside You can run Khan but you can't hide He's 27-0, who knows his true worth He'll beat you for length, he'll beat you for girth He's got a style that top fighters duck He's a pleasure to watch, have you seen that check hook? Haters though will always hate They will put him down, deride and berate But its ok though, you can stay pissed Cos that blueprint you're looking for, it doesn't exist. |
