    Speaking with Ringcast, FW was asked if he thought Amir Khan was ducking Kell Brook...

    "Khan hasn't ducked anybody, what Hearn is basically saying is fight my guy or retire. Khan came out after the 7/7 bombings and stood up for British Muslims. He's given his life to boxing. He deserves more respect and has been a great ambassador".

    Franks also spoke about Sky saying no to Crolla and Flanagan, his relationship with Eddie Hearn, why Kell Brook ducked Liam Smith, what should happen to Povetkin after his drug fiasco, and why who he thinks wins between GGG and Canelo.

    What's the shame you feel towards khan ? Dudes made like 25+mil and won world titles.

    God damn, if that's a shameful career then there should be 100's of multiple x champs every decade. Or is khan such a good promotor of self, he suckered the entire sports world ?

    I can see why FW said Khan deserves respect but what have the 7/7 bombings got to do with not fighting Brook? I don't see why Khan (like any sane person) condemning such things makes him deserving of respect.

    Lol big mouths sell. Look at Adrian Broner. You nailed it yourself when you wrote he suckered the entire sports world. Big mouth, overrated, arrogant. FFS he was stunned by Chris Algieri lol. It's astonishing some of the **** his fans write on these boards. I'm so happy I've not wasted one red cent on any of his fights.

    He's mostly right, but Khan has clearly ducked Brook. Kell's a bellend though so if he doesn't want to give him that pay day I won't begrudge him.

    Actually he didnt say that he condemned the 7/7, he said that he "stood up for the british muslims", not the same thing. I dont know if he condemned that or not, but what FW said is not that.

    I dont know if he deserves respect or not, but for me he is just a piece of.... it! a piece of it, with a mouth bigger than it should be. My most hated boxer by far, actually, I think he is my only hated boxer. I could watch him being knocked the ffff out 24/7 without getting tired of it.
