    He wont beat Porter.
    Then again neither would Khan.
    Brook vs Khan is a good matchup.

    that's laughable.... if somehow he can get past porter then it just shows he is at the level the mix it with the WWs... that's it... Khan is still ahead.

    If he beats Porter it doesn't put him in line for Mayweather! Jesus can you imagine how **** the ppv numbers on showtime would be, Even beating Porter Mayweather has only 2 fights left after MM and he isn't wasting Brook on one of those. Khan is well known in the US plus i still think it would sell better on SBO if it was Khan and not Brook fighting Mayweather. No beating Porter is a great win but it won't get him a Mayweather fight no chance.

    Floyds lack of volume will be his downfall, his volume nearly cost him the Madonna fight

    Khans win over Maidana is much better than Brook beating Porter. If Brook wins he has 1 name on his record after 8 years as a pro. Khan has beaten loads of decent fighters and challenged himself fully.

    :good Brook-vs-Khan would be a great fight, regardless of what happens on Saturday.

    I feel that Brook has a better chance to beat porter than Khan, and I do give Kell every chance of beating Porter.

    Were Kell to beat Porter, then a Brook-vs-Khan fight would be the logical fight for both parties..but since when has "fans' logic" dictated a fighters next opponent??

    Amir is chasing a fight with Floyd and were he to beat Kell then he may get a crack at Mayweather. As it would be a high profile (in the UK at least) fight with a genuine WW Champion (assuming Kell beat Porter).

    As for Kell, were he to fight and beat Khan, it would still not be enough to get him a fight with Floyd!

    The sad fact of Kell Brook's career is that he has been a pro for 10 years, is undefeated in over 30 fights, yet it is only now fighting for a world title. That is ridiculous!!

    To put it in perspective, Amir Khan turned pro almost a year after Kell did, yet Amir was a world champion within three years and 23 fights (one of which was a ko1 defeat)!!

    I am a far bigger fan of Brook than I am Khan, but the undeniable truth is that Khan has been fighting at an elite level for years.

    :thumbsup

    Well said Sir!!

    If Kell wants a fight with Mayweather, he would have to beat Porter and at least one of Pacquaio, Bradley or Thurman (or someone elite at 154).

    The problem with that is, were Kell to beat Porter and one of the three mentioned in the previous paragraph, Mayweather would probably swerve Special K!!

    As for Khan, he is the type of low risk/high reward opponent that Mayweather adores...but, Amir will have to beat a genuine world ranked WW before a Mayweather-vs-Khan fight could be a winner at the box office, because a win over a long past prime Collazo simply is not anywhere good enough.

    The problem I have with brook is, the guys seems to have all the skills to beat almost any welter weight, but has never had a fight with a top ten opponent.
    Where as khan has every reason to lose to top fighter but seems to win. (Most times, I had him beating Peterson)
    I dun no, maybe time will tell, as for beating porter, he dissevers credit if he beats him,
    Mayweather NO!!!

    Khan has great speed no doubt but this is so over played when talking about a fight with mayweather. Honestly, some people go on like floyd wouldnt be able to time Amir.

    Its laughable!

    have people forgot that fighters nowhere near floyd's level have beaten Khan.

    I agree...just... remember Maidana is a different animal nowadays since he went to Robert Garcia
