    So tell me fanboys what world class big house hold name opponents did the likes Mccloskey, Peterson, Maidana and Garcia face before they ''earned'' a chance to fight Khan?

    Considering brook is looking at Gavin for his 2nd title defense I cannot disagree

    Khan needs to stop moving the goal posts and take the fight.

    They are both right in their own ways. Brook does need to fight better opposition as he only has the one world class win, however Khan has become delusional as if he has beaten all of the best fighters. At the time of McCloskey and the other guys you have mentioned however, Khan was trying to establish himself and therefore had to fight these guys to become a world class fighter.

    I guess Khan would have no issue if Mayweather said he Khan has to beat some top ranked welterweights before he got to fight him then?

    No Khan will claim Mayweather is ducking him as he has done already.

    Maidana was the fight every1 wanted Khan to fight he had a 95% KO ratio and destroyed Ortiz who was billed as the next GOlden Boy. Mccloskey was a WBA mandatory and a home coming fight, he came of a win against Prescott. Garcia was the WBC champ and khan wanted to unify. Peterson was the IBF mandatory.

    Brooks next fight is against Frankie Gavin, bet you brook ta rds cant wait for that can you? Or what about another terrible fight with Bum Bum Rios in August, Brook is an absolute joke, nothing but tomato cans after tomato cans. Why wont he face Thurman who accepted his chalenge to fight in the UK?

    Who has Khan fought since garcia, ah wait they're cans, one of whom nearly flattened him. Oh and thurman has called out Khan too, shockingly Khan won't have anything to do with him...

    Alexander is far from a can. Matchroom and Eddie aren't as smart as they like to think, his big mouth and acting like a petulant child along with the re**** Kell have delayed this fight.

    Can't imagine Frank not being able to deliver this fight if Brook were the title holder. Amateur hour.

    Khan needs to stop embarrassing himself.

    Just admit Brook is too much of a risk at the moment.

    Clear duck, no question about it

    Yes, I won't deny this. Also he doesn't want to fight a few days before Ramadan, he obviously had learnt his lesson not to maybe by a bad experience after the Garcia loss which was only 9 days before or something. But Kell also needs to admit that he is ducking legitimate threats like Thurman and instead biding his time with fighting the likes of Frankie gavin and punching Bag Rios.

    They're both as bad as each other, but Kells a world champion and he's fought 33 tomato cans and still won't take a risk before fighting Khan for that financial security.
