    Khan-Hatton will see these forums explode dues to the awful nature of the fight. Laz and Darni will decide Magic Matt's now a credible opponent and everyone berate them for being morons. Happy Days.

    I reckon Zab Judah and Maidana would spell trouble for Brook, whereas Khan woould have probably gotten better results when fighting Brooks best opposition.

    Khan has said he wants to fight the very best, he wants to prove he is a future legend, he wants to become the P4P number 1 ...... so he is going after the mighty Matthew Hatton.

    I can see this being the Hatton v Witter of today. Here's how it works...lets say that Kell's biggest purse has been 250 grand...and for Khan he is offered 500 grand...but, he knows that Khan is making 2 million...he, like Witter against Hatton, will NOT take it, trust me. He will then fight for about 50 grand, just like Witter did again and again and again. It's not a about parity in this business...ask Hopkins who took the short end on two major occasions when he was the champion...why did he take the short end? He took it because he knew he would KO Oscar and Felix. He was confident.

    Adios.

    I still believe Khan is chinny as ****.

    And I also think his opponents are hand picked very cautiously. Brook may not have the skills or speed as Khan, but he certainly has the power to knock Khan out, and let's be honest here lads, who doesn't think brook would eventually catch Khan?

    I'd back brook in that fight, and by an early stoppage to

    Me.

    It's the same logic that some people fell into before the Haye-Harrison fight. For whatever reason some people got it into their heads that Audley only needed to land one clean shot and Haye would have been put to sleep.

    For the record, he's not picked M.Hatton for definite, yet. And even then, having an easy first fight at a new weight, is hardly the biggest crime in the world.

    We’ve seen posts like these time and time again.

    “Khan’s been carefully matched so far. Maidana is the first real puncher he’ll be facing, and trust me, he’ll knock Khan out.”.....

    “Khan looks good because of hand-picked opposition. Maidana was a slow slugger with no skill. Judah’s got skill, power, speed and experience. He’ll do Khan over.”.....

    “Judah was old. He never had the power that Brook has. Brook will stop him early. Khan should stop cherry-picking.”....

    This.

    As always Buncey tells it how it is. If Kell really wants the fight he will accept a reasonable offer from Khan. If he just wants a payday this fight won't happen. Kell has no bargaining power he just about manages to fill a sheffield leisure centre and has no world title. If he starts being a **** and saying Khan isn't offerring enough then i would be of the opinion that it is Brook that is the ***** rather than Khan. Way i see he should get paid the same or less than McCloskey did as at least McCloskey had a bigger fan base
