    Theres a lot of talk about it but I don't see that fight coming off.
    What figure would be tempting enough for Khan?
    If it does I imagine Khan would win but I don't think he is really all that interested, and not because he is afraid, but because he feels he belongs with the big names.

    Brook is becoming a big name in the welterweight division though and the fight would be huge in the UK. Brook now has a title and Khan would probably see Kell as the easiest way of getting a title at welterweight too.

    The only way I don't see the fight coming off is if Khan takes the Mayweather fight in May or Kell loses before the fight happens. Eddie wants the fight to be a huge stadium fight and If Khan fights Floyd in May then it's unlikely that Brook v Khan can happen in a stadium as they need it to be summer for that (unless it's at the Millennium stadium).

    I think both fighters want the fight and if they win their fights in December and Khan doesn't fight Floyd in May I think it will definitely happen.

    If it doesn't happen this year, it won't happen.

    Khan wants to cash out with the Mayweather fight and the only opportunity left is next May.

    Personally don't think Khan wants anything to do with Brook.

    i think they'll fight, just not necessarily within 12 months.

    Cash out on what 3m lol. Khans worth 25m he clearly wants the chance to fight one of the best of this generation and who can blame him? Khan agreed to fight Brook on sky so I guess that blows your claim.

    Brook beats him easily imo.

    Khan will make more excuses as to why he won't fight Brook.

    Yes because one win over Porter (which was nip and tuck) is better then Khans wins over Maidana, Judah, Malianggi etc

    Your hate for the guy is unreal

    What a pointless statement.

    At 147 Kell is miles in front.

    Before Saturday his best wins came againts Senchenkho and Matthew Hatton, Collazo is by far a better operator then both

    Khan dismantled him and put him on his arse three times

    Again, pointless statement.

    Brook is miles in front at 147. He's a world champ and Khan hasn't fought a legit top 10 WW.
