    Weight actually plays alot in this fight...

    Khan can make 147 much easier than Brook...

    Great fight...not sure where they both stand right now...Khan to outpoint him at 147 but at a CW or higher weight Brook is pretty damn strong and probably too strong for Khan. Don't see Brook making 147 again and Khan would probably take a 150 CW.

    I'd expect both to be very tired by round 8-9 (if it goes that far) in that fight and it could be a classic. Brook would come on strong in the late rounds whilst Khan dominating the early rounds with his bum rushes.

    brook beats khan. it would be a fun fight but brook is a more complete fighter. khan is not as fast as he once was and that was his one real advantage.
    brook should try and get cotto next. its an intriguing fight that would do good numbers and its a winnable fight that would probably make brook more money than anyone at 147. it would keep brook name amidst the big draws in boxing and its a good name to cash in on while he is still credible.

    Surprised to see people say Brook isn't powerful. He's not Kovalev, but he punches harder than most. He has solid power. Would love to see this fight.

    I would expect more technicial fight. Of course, Brook is stronger than his rival, but I would not underestimate Khan, dude is so chiny, but has a very decent skillset.

    I don't think you watch boxing, firstly if you think Brook lost EVERY ROUND then you need to make an appointment at Specsavers, it was 3-1 Golovkin after 4, and let's get another thing out the way now, I didn't say in any way, shape or form that Brook is now a hero. Stop making things up.

    The fact is Khan gets hurt and dropped on a regular basis, last time out he was KTFO and was out cold for a long time, Canelo knelt down next to him because he must have thought he killed him. Brook just fought Golovkin, had his eye socket broken and took some huge shots and never touched down. He was stopped by his corner and maybe he was saved from being KTFO, we will never know but he took some great shots and held them well.

    It's very safe to say Brook has a far better chin than Khan, it's not even debatable.

    Khan is timed, shall we list the long list of fighters who have timed Khan coming in and had him in trouble, dropped him or knocked him out? Willie Limond dropped Khan ffs.

    Brook has great appreciation of distance and has great timing, Golovkin said similar words after the fight, Khan would get KFTO by Brook and Khan knows it and that's why he didn't take a shed load of money, take Brooks belt and laugh in his rivals face, if Khan honestly believed for a second he'd beat Brook he would have signed, he must have lost his pen just like your boy Eubank Jr.

    Also a few of those things you claim about Canelo and Brook are debatable in my opinion, Canelo hasn't been pinged on the chin by Golovkin, Brook looked very strong at 160, Brook has talent and skill and Canelo's stamina has been questioned a few times, Canelo has more experience in terms of better quality of opponents there is no doubt about that but to just claim all those assets are better than Brooks is rather blinkered.

    The three fighters (two on that post) you are defending and defend, Khan, Canelo and normally Eubank Jr are duckers.

    Canelo won't fight Golovkin, dropped his belt and ran away to 154, Khan refused point blank to fight Brook and Eubank Jr lost his pen when it came time to sign for Golovkin and is fighting Langford, who is Langford?

    You have seriously bad taste in boxers, it isn't my fault they make you look ridiculous and you feel compelled to defend them at all cost.

    I'll bin my GGG pj's if you bin your pj's with huge ducks on them.

    I agree. Get Cotto to London, win that fight and then go for Canelo.

    Brook would stop Khan inside 5 rounds. Way too skilled for Khan.

    Id happily have this fight, been plenty of beef between the 2 of them over recent years. Both fighters pull good numbers. Would be good. Obviously Khan gets demolished though.

    Not interested in this figh anymore its 2 years too late and let's face Khan would just get knocked about for several rounds. Pointless fight now.

    Khan doesn't want it. Why would he fight Kell now, instead of two years ago when he won the IBF title? Cmon man. That fight won't happen.

    Why do idiots keep talking like Khan has been ducking Brook for years? He's only been a welterweight for 2 years ffs. You expect him to fight Brook in his 1st fight at the weight? Gtfoh, Brook has only beaten 1 world class fighter and got a 50/50 decision that went his way.

    Guys like Maidana, Garcia and Peterson would all be harder fights than Porter and Khan beat Maidana and got robbed against Peterson. Khan also has wins against Judah, Molina, Alexander, Algieri, Barerra, Kotelnik and Malignaggi.

    Unquestionably Khan has got a far superior Resume. Brook has fought Trash his whole career. You fans are so delusional and fickle
    You want fighters to take risks and fight tough fights and if they get a loss or two they become bums but if you feast on trash your whole life and maintain a pretty record your a p4p superstar? I am sorry but it doesn't work like that, you have to beat quality to be quality.

    Brook became a hero a week ago, because of his cojones. Khan has a better resume, there is no need to discuss about.
    I would like to see this fight. It could be mega-hit in UK, and big money would be in the game.....

    Khan not disciplined enough to stick with a game plan for more than 5-6 rounds so Brook stoppage!
