    it really bothers me when uneducated so called boxing fans think that brook will walk over khan if they fight at 147....where is the proof...brook beat Hatton who is a d level fighter...khan has defeated five world champs at the age of 25 and is a two time world champ at 140....khan is the more accomplished of the two and has beaten world classs competition whereas brook has not remotely done so...brook is a good fighter and am not taking anything away from him but to think khan would be koed by brook simply based on fightihg Hatton and a bum from America as his stateside debut does not qualify brook as a world class operator...if he wins a world title and defeats good competition then start bragging but other than that...its all speculative!!!
    Peterson rematch will tell us more about khan!!!

    If Peterson doesn't get KO'd and picks up where he left off, he's got this in the bag. Khan is absolutely ******ed when it comes to the inside game and being on the ropes.

    Maybe a T.K.O Kell has good power but not awesome power.

    I'd favour points Brook.

    Peterson II won't tell us anything we don't already know. It'll be a repeat of the first.

    As for Brook, he's got the power, speed, and counter-punching to give Khan a lot of trouble late on. 50-50 fight for me.

    Because Khan's chin is utter CHINA and Brook can punch a bit. Look for the Konman to get his glass jaw SHATTERED yet again, if he ever gets in the ring with this guy.

    because Khan is style over substance, he will get badly outboxed by any smart fighter with half decent skills and patience

    Brook has decent power but won't ko many top level fighters, possible points win for brook but at the moment khan is beating him

    It'd be a great fight but Kahn won't touch him.

    Id say Brook by points but we've yet to see him tested so ill reserve judgement.

    I stopped reading here.
     
  11. Brook's preferred style is on the outside, which immediately places Khan at a slight advantage in this one.

    If Kell was more inclined to take it to the inside it would be a tougher fight to call.

    The point made above is the key and I think a lot of people are missing it.

    The outside game suit Khan although Brook has good reflexes and can counter and times his punches, has he ever been up against anyone as fast as Khan?

    Personally I don't think Khan will fight him just yet as Brook still has to prove himself at top level. Khan has a different league of people calling him out and if he beats Peterson then he can fight the likes of Ortiz/Berto/Mosley/Guerrero etc.

    Brook needs a big step up in his next fight then he should call out Khan.

    :deal

    Agree Brook's style suits Khan. Obviously power gives him a chance but could see him falling behind due to Khan's superior speed and then switching back and forth and becoming easier to hit. Be a top fight though.

    Because Lamont Peterson put a serious beating on Khan, Brook can out box him, or walk him down.

    Because Kell said he would knock him clean out. So he will :conf
