What are the chances it will be another bum? Im going for 90%..... Its a shame because he's world champion, he's obviously very gifted & un-defeated. Id actually back him to beat most 147lb's including Khan but Eddie just doesnt want to step up the level of competition. For someone with 35 fights, a world champion & with title defences his cv is extremely poor. He has only one name on there & thats Porter.... Edit:- just for the butt hurt fanboys;- yes i know and accept khan ducked brook. (Brook also ducked Bradley & Bradley ducked khan but i guess you fanboys wont take that into consideration 😅
atsch when are you going to realise Khan will NEVER fight mayweather?that fight is only possible in the minds of Khan and his fans he just struggled against Algieri in front of 7000 people... Khan will fight Broner next,another much smaller guy who wont spark him out cold
Rios, would be the most realistic fight, and I won't be mad at that fight, he's coming of two decent wins and it would be a massive statement of Brook stopped him. I would obviously prefer Thurman or Khan though.
if you think about the cost and if they will fight in UK it narrows the choice of opponent down a lot.. Rios Maidana maybe Bradley/Alexander/Guererro?
Bradley deliberately forfeited his IBF #2 ranking (which would have ensured that he was Kell's next mandatory) to "go in another direction". I don't see how Bradley giving up his mando equates to Kell ducking him. What I will say is that Eddie Hearn does have previous for taking the p!ss with his world title match-ups (Scott Quigg. The prosecution rests) and Brook is a much more valuable commodity than Quigg... So it will be interesting to see who Team Brook seriously pursue as opponents for Kell.
Khan thinks he is next in line for Mayweather. Now what's the bigger achievement? 1) Giving the man, who many consider the greatest ever, his first defeat? 2) Earning a few million in a domestic clash? Now don't get me wrong, that's a lot of money, but Khan would get a pretty penny to face Floyd (Khan is loaded anyway), would earn serious amounts in a rematch or in his own fights after (providing he'd win), and in all fairness, the Brook fight will always be there due to it being personal.
Oh, and he'll face Bam Bam or Algeri. Brook, I believe, would fight anyone. His promoter, though, won't let that happen!
So do I, to get shot of you!! I thought you were a decent and reasonable poster.. But you're coming across as a prat in this thread. Brook calls out Khan? Yes, twice now! But Khan refused to take the fight! But according to you, Khan's shameful duck is Kell's fault and Kell deserves ridicule? Brook would love to fight Mayweather... Every guy from 140-160 wants that fight! You are talking an eight figure purse ffs. As for Pacquiao, he is still big box office, what's wrong with Kell wanting such a huge fight? Brook beat his mandatory (yes I know, Dan was a joke #1,but that's tge fault of the IBF, nor Brook) your boy Khan bottled their fight, so Gavin stepped up. Bradley (who would have been Kell's next mandatory) deliberately forfeited his IBF ranking to "go in another direction". But I suppose that's Brook's fault too? Khan gave £5 million and the chance of winning a world title the old Spanish archer, so he could fight Algieri for a mere fraction of that, in a downsized arena that needed "Canned atmosphere" pumped into it... And he looked cr ap beating the pillow fisted Chris. You're a gonna when Khan eventually grows a pair and fights Brook.. But you'll probably Welch on the bet.
