    So you think Brook is going to fight effectivly a nobody who he will probably finish off in a couple of rounds then sit around for more than 3 months whilst Khan is fightless? no chance...He'll have the conditioning edge as well...Hearn & Brook know what they're doing...it's all up to Floyd now...

    Although I am one of the guys who thinks Aamirs style is bad for a Floyd I do think he should just fight Brook at Wembley Stadium. It'd be not just a good match but a massive event.

    Maybe it's just me, but I always thought Khan was overrated.

    People mistake his speed for boxing skills.

    Floyd has got nothing to do with this anywhere except in Khans head. Maybe Brook in July but that is still a very long lay off for a supposedly top level fighter

    Nah most people realise they are two separate things.


    I'm sure Khan will find someone to fight. Even if he doesn't get a big fight, I'm sure he doesn't mind having a stay busy fight and waiting for other, better opportunities.

    With little or NO fan base in the US,Khan really has few options other than Brook.Eddie Hearn knew exactly what was going on with Haymons fighters.
    Poor Amir,delusional as well as stupid.

    Khan's last fight is a month ago, so he hasn't put his career on hold this time. He's definitely looking to get a fight before the month of fasting and there will be no shortage of opponents for him. What a stupid thread.

    Around 4-5k travel to watch him fight. If you think that's a poor number for an overseas fight you're mistaken.

    It's amazing how easily boxing fans are fooled. It explains why they keep falling for hypejobs despite being unproven. I'd even go as far as to say they're the most gullible fans of any sport.

    Brook, Bradley, and JMM are all perfectly acceptable opponents.

    I think boxing skills are simply that, whatever skills you have that allow you to outbox someone aka, win the round against them. In Khan's case it just happens to be based off his speed, for Floyd it's his IQ, for Cotto it's his timing, for Pac it's his stamina that allows to throw with with high volume, speed, and power etc. Take any of those singular things away from those guys and their ability to outbox their opponent goes way, way down.

    Those are all attributes, not skills.
