Amir Khan wants to face bigger fighters, and be in super fights. Kell Brook has to build himself up, nobody knows who he is world wide or within the UK. He's still abit of a "No Mark"....
Ah Rico come on man. Maidana is a pure slugger with the stamina of a man that smokes 40 a day. And as for Zany Judah, don't try and tell me his best days weren't 5 years ago. Brook is a very good fighter. He has good decent defence (could be better), has very good body movement, and as we all know, he has legitimate knockout power in either hand Comparing Kell Brook to Audley Harrison is just ludicrous
Yeah? How did he out-throw Khan in their fight after getting up from a body shot knockdown then? Very good body movement? Is that what you call moving back in straight lines with your chin in the air? His defence is poor. At domestic level he's got good KO power... but at world level? I'm not so sure.
you could say the same for Khan, i personally feel Brook is coming up to world level, thats just my honest opinion. he's not there yet, but he's definetly moving in the right direction. Khan for me is a pitter-patter puncher. he's still yet to face any real opposition. im sorry, but i dont call a 34 year old Zab Judah with 6 losses on his record a marquee fighter. the same goes for Malignaggi, Dmitriy Salita or Andriy Kotelnyk, sure after them who has he fought??? Oisin ****ing ***an
Khan's not a puncher, but he had a lot in other areas which makes up for that. The difference is, Brook doesn't have a single name on his record really. So when you're talking up Brook's chances I wouldn't go criticising Khan's top 10 wins.
I dont think Khan or GB will bear any grudges on MR for the McCloskey wash up do you ??!! They said what they felt was right at the time , there entitled to that at least !! You can never second guess who Khan will fight , GB are building up brand Khan for mega fights , and mega ££$$ , so expect him to fight Mayweather in May when Arum snubs the Mayweather Pacquiao deal :deal , if he doesnt i sincerely doubt he'll fight Brook , that said , it depends what Sky are putting on the table doesnt it , but i just dont see Khan fighting him in all honesty
All of those that you listed would be the biggest name on Brooks record. Maybe even Oisin "****ing" ***an. (nice to see you respect a fighter by the way)
You get some idiots who don't have a ****ing clue about boxing on here. They contradict themselves. Some idiot said khan has fought nobody's - not only is that very untrue and stupid, but it's a major contradiction in the fact that Brook's two best names are guys who had a combined 21 losses before they fought Brook. Kotelnyk was a decent champion who is better than anyone Brook has faced. Salita, fair enough isn't too good but he was unbeaten. Malignaggi was slightly past his best but Khan absolutley dominated him ans stopped him which is what was expected from Khan Maidana was seen as someone who was gonna KTFO of Khan and Khan took his best shots and didn't go down. Judah was past his best but he was a world champion who had just beat Lucas M who was a good undefeated fighter. And Peterson is a top 10 contender who had a draw and a good fight with someone who was deemed good enough to step into the ring with Floyd Mayweather. But yeah Brook beating two old journeymen is much better than Khan's victories.
