    Please explain?

    I have no bias towards either and can't a single reason why Khan wins.

    He gets caught a lot less and generally boxers better since switching trainers. His obvious asset is his hand speed, the likes of which Brook would have never faced before at this level. His speed and combinations disrupt people's game plans; generally it's when he gets clocked with that expose chin he falters. I don't think Brook will find him as easy to hit clean as he thinks though. People keep going on about Brook's power but that's something else I'm not sold on.

    Combination punching, faster footwork, better offence...take your pick.

    I would reverse the question - explain how you think would Brook win, other than landing a haymaker of a punch of course?

    He's smaller physically, has a weak chin, is against a huge puncher who is fast enough to land. The fact is even if power and chin were about equal it would still be pretty close but Kell Brook is much more powerful and could put Khan over with one punch and Khan will not be able to hurt Brook very much almost certainly not enough to stop him.

    You thought Burns would beat Crawford you fat ****. Your predictions are as bad as your current stable of fighters.

    No he doesn't he got dropped twice against Julio Diaz. Khan boxed Kotelnik's head off and won nearly very round (the same Kotelnik most felt was robbed vs. Alexander). Still the same old Khan who will be exposed again when he fights another puncher.

    He is an improved fighter, a smarter fighter now too. He is very quick and puts his punches together well, then gets out of range before his opponent can respond, don't look at old fights look at the Alexander fight- a man who is also quicker than Brook, I just think he has the tools to beat Brook and the only way I see him losing is if he lands one huge punch from a mistake by Khan.

    Yourself and Paddy Garcia are spot on.

    I think Khan would give Kell fits if they met.

    I thought he only went down once from Diaz? Either way, I still think he's looked less likely to get dropped as he used to a la the Limond fight

    I m backing khan handily if the two meet. Khan too me a level above. Not many can keep up with his speed. Not completely sold on brook either. Also think khans stronger than hes giving credit for.

    Each have strengths that should cause the other problems on paper...but when you see them in the ring i think khans speed will offset brooks work much like it does with most. Alexander to me at this stage is not a great but he was pretty much dominated where he didnt have any answer to the problems khan posed. Kells not a concussive enough puncher for me to derail khan. Always a chance tho because lets be honest it's khan.

    Credit where its due to khan. Always been a talented fighter. Just too stupid to be elite. Needs to forget about mayweather/pacquiou for now and get on with it. Wasting his career avoiding great fights etc Needs to fight...brook/bradley/ then either maidana or another before being anywhere ready for either of them.

    But to me khan beats bradley/brook. Brook without too much fuss tbh imo.

    Brook is flat footed, patient with low volume. Khan has fast feet, movement and high volume. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out

    Well if he's already been exposed why he would he be exposed again for the same reason?

    :huh
