    Khan stayed that Brook needed to face a challenge before he would fight him. Well Brook went toe to toe with GGG and never hit the deck.

    That fight is 100% proof that Khan would be knocked out by Brook. Maybe worst than he has ever been hit before.

    I was very impressed with Brook against GGG, he did far better than I thought he would. He actually landed a bit and was in it, other than the clear power disparity which ended up catching up with him.

    He was on verge of being knocked out in the round the towel was thrown in, or the round thereafter.

    I think Khans pitter patter flurries would not be enough to keep Brook off. Brook clearly has decent resistance to the level of Khan. I think Brook either wins a wide UD or knocks Khan out late if it happens in the next 6 months.

    Khan never fights Brook though, too much bad blood. Khan has been clear that he never fights Brook because of the previous disrespect.

    Brook murks Khan. At no time did Khan ever stand a chance.

    Of course he stands a chance. The problem with Khan is his suceptibility to being knocked out. Is Kell Brook, especially a Kell Brook that will be recovering from eye surgery, really going to be able to knock out Khan?

    If Brook can't stop Khan, then the chances are Khan will probably win a majority of the rounds, and there's always the possibility that he lands on Kell's eye and breaks his eye socket again, causing a stoppage.

    I think at this point it favors Khan winning. Before the GG fight, naturally the tendency was to favor Kell, as he was undefeated with no known injuries.

    Khan's just too busy for Kell Brook, and I don't think Kell has that ability to land a big shot like Garcia or Canelo does. Likely it will be a close decision that Khan would win 7-5 by out throwing Brook and being busier throughout the fight.

    Brook has a better jab, is bigger, has a better ring IQ, and has good timing.

    Brook wins.

    The problem with Khan isn't just his susceptibility to being knocked out. He also has poor defense and tends to fight like an idiot.

    Even before the GGG fight, I've never wavered on Brook knocking out Khan. Khan is fast, but fights like an amateur. His defense is his feet and once he gets tired, he is very poor on defense. One punch is all you need to put him to sleep.

    At no point Khan was able to beat Brook. Not then and not now.

    Speed is the only thing he's ever had in his repertoire to trouble brook. Brook was always the bigger more fundamentally sound fighter of the two, and Khan knows it, which is evident by his ducking of Brook, even after Brook did everything Khan demanded, Khan came up with excuse after excuse to not fight him.
    Despicable.

    Honestly, anyone with good timing has a chance to beat Khan.

    Same result as its always going to have been..

    I don't get why people think khan is a great boxer, he isn't! A Very amateur like flawed fighter with very poor fundamentals, poor power. he struggles with most of the top lads at 147...

    He's the biggest fraud of our generation, between him and haye we have the greatest UK bullshitters of all time.. lol

    The fight will never happen. Khan is a ww and Brook won't get 147 again.
