    Brook is just about peaking @147 after building up for many years

    Khan has had a long career with many achievements..he has been fading since the end of 2011 with trying to make 140 & all the issues he has had.

    now he is trying to get back on form by moving to 147...however I don't think his style that he used so successfully during his career is suited to him getting older & bigger...Virgil is guiding him well however...does he still have enough in the tank & has he still got it to beat a peaking Brook?

    hmmm...tough call...it's the perfect timing for both really...& a great opportunity to market a huge fight since both Khan & Brook should be returning on 6th of December Brook in the UK and Khan in the US...Get the hype rolling...both of them call each other out if they both win in December on the same night then BAM ready for early 2015...

    you'd think khan is now smart enough and still fast enough to outbox Brookie for a perhaps split decision.

    Boxing wins because two legit fighters will be scrapping for a world title.

    This is not over-coddled American hype jobs such as Porter, Broner and Thurman. These are legit fighters

    I would have to say Brook by KO. But it is a tough one to call. Either way I can't see Khan stopping Kell or, due to Khan's speed, Brook outpointing Khan.

    Khan was put on his ass by a featherfisted blown up lightweight and rocked every time he landed.

    Brook will put him to sleep.

    john molina jr was KO'd by demarco, moves up to lww and puts down lucas the machine and takes lucas' shots well too

    not as simple as you put it.... on the same token you'd think he would have been ko'd by maidana

    If Brook hits him flush, Khan goes down and Brook has hit every opponent flush he has ever faced

    Yeah but it's Khan we're talking about. He's consistently been rocked, dropped and KO'd throughout his big fight career.

    i'm not saying he does not have a dodgy chin but i don't thnk it's as easy as you make it... in that case he should have been KO'd by a lot of the fighters he's faced.... it all depends on which khan turns up... he excuted game plans brilliantly vs zab judah for example.... judah's left hand could have had khan sleeping but it never touched him... all depends on how he boxes
