    Saying in todays news that Kells not on his level is no new thing but the guy has a title...he doesn't. The big names Khan wants to be considered in the same league as are the fighters he can't get ie Floyd and Pacman. Be interesting to see who he fights seeing now the reason for avoiding Kell and taking his belt is he's not in the same league.....How funny will it be if he fights a lesser fighter next. We'll see......

    *and I'm a Khan fan! Not a hater but even I'm thinking he's dodging a huge UK fight/payday and a belt into the bargain because he fears losing to Kell.

    I agree. Im a khan fan too.

    He's sounding A LOT like mayweather ducking pacquiao these days. He should be jumping at a chance with Brook. Has a title, is beatable, is worth lots of money AND makes him more popular in the UK. Increases his bargaining position for Mayweather.

    Truth is that Brook is a very good counter puncher, great timing, accuracy, and solid power. Big too. It's too risky for Khan, they style is all wrong…..but at this rate who is he gonna fight? Mayweather undercards???

    Honestly **** Khan. All this calling out names is just a publicity stunt, its just like James Toney calling out the "*****ko Sisters" while at the same time struggling to beat the likes of Sam Peters.

    Calling someone out in itself dont mean ****.

    Khan, you want recognition fight and beat Brook or simply go away.

    The guy knows hes one punch away from obscurity, may as well cash out against a big name.

    Lets see who Khans opponent is next, if its a top ten fighter, then hes legit. If not, the guy is just looking for a final payday.

    Yeah. Khan don't want that fight.

    But I'd rather see Khan fight Mayweather first because I think Khan has a chance and I don't believe that Brook has a chance against Mayweather.

    Khan is well established with numerous title fights across three weight classes and several big names under his belt.

    Brook, meanwhile, has fought only once at top level and has one decent win to his name in Porter.

    I think Khan vs Brook is a great fight; it's a competitive fight and I do want to see it, but who is Kell Brook? Who has he fought? He needs to get a couple of big wins behind him, build up his reputation. At the moment he's not really in a position to call out anyone.

    Injuries and a lay off notwithstanding, the way to Khan is not through Jo Jo Dan.

    If he can't get Floyd or Manny, Brook should be his Plan B.

    khan will fight the only ww that cant punch in bradley who is also possibly on the decline after some wars, that fight is high reward and very winnable

    Khan can fall back on that fight if a mega-fight with the usual two suspects doesn't happen and make mega money, too.

    Besides, that fight will always be there due to it being a grudge match and Kell being, basically, a nobody in the WW Division.

    Serious question: who would you say is Khan's best win?

    Prob Maidana right? But outside of him, who ther version he beat was nowhere near as well rated as Porter was when Kell dismantled him, who has he beaten of such high regard? Khan and his fans act as if he flattened Garcia and Peterson the way they rate him

    brookl didn't dismantle Porter. that was a close fight, one judge even had it a draw

    khan is not interested in brook because a win over him means nothing, he will get money which he isn't desperate for so he is chasing the big fights...... and its better actually......let kell beat another top opponent after he deals with mighty jo jo dan it makes the fight even better
