    The floyd Mayweather and manny pacquiao of the U.k.???
    Now I'm not saying that they are as good as them but., in terms of the fight not happening when the fans want it. Even a lil bit of their styles. Khan is an in and out fast fighter with a limited boxing I.Q. (Ala PACMAN) and brook is a lil more cerebral and more of a pure boxer( ala floyd) AGAIN I AM NOT SAYING THESE FIGHTERS ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL!!! I'm just asking if their situation mimics floyd and manny's

    not after khans loss to danny garcia. He needs to avenge his loss to danny garcia to get back up there as one of the very bests.

    Not really. Brook isn't a defensive mastermind like Floyd, he's a good boxer but he's not exactly what I'd call slick. And Khan has heart and ridiculous speed, but lacks the dimensions to his game that Pacquiao has, including the underrated boxing acumen. Plus, if the two were to fight, I'm 100% confident Brook would stop Khan. That is not to say that Khan is a bad fighter but he needs certain matchups to be successful. He doesn't match up well with Brook imo, as Brook has good pop and is an accurate boxer-puncher. Whereas with Floyd and Manny, even though I would favor Floyd I would give Manny a solid chance, plus it would be surprising if the fight wasn't competitive.

    Brook's power is massively overrated.

    I don't think Khan has a very high ring IQ.

    Kell hits ALOT harder than Canelo, ask Matthew Hatton :yep

    Brook would be the biggest puncher Mayweather has ever faced - FACT!

    Think i'll trust a fighter that has faced both in the ring over the opinion of some random bum on a boxing forum

    Canelo dragged Hatton up to light middleweight and couldn't even rock him. Brook knocked him down and hurt him repeatedly :deal

    Canelo don't hit hard. For his size he should be blasting guys out
