People seem to think Khan has no timing to his own punches. So dumb. Garcia didn't time Khan he traded with Khan. Garcia is a natural counter puncher probably more so than Brook...his hooks to the body are constant unlike Brook's. Brook avoided Tim Bradley for gods sake
Thread is full of people who think Khan has a glass chin and no timing of his own and for some reason that Brook hits like a truck. Nah. Ban bet Khan takes Brook to school. Messes him up big time. Easy work for Khan even.
To be fair to Khan, he is a **** but he’s great to watch and he likes a scrap. Just a shame he’s allowed to talk. I think Brook might clip him at as long as he doesn’t have to go down too much in weight, then I’d give Khan a chance. That said, Brook is over rated and is oddly better thought of after losing against two world class fighters. His resume is pretty **** really.
Brook is the most over rated boxer around. He has a dismal resume and his only decent win was against a half decent slugger in Porter and that was razor thin. He has been exposed every time he has stepped up. The only reason he wants Khan is to get his biggest payday and I don't blame him for that. Khan is the A side and can dictate the terms of this fight. If he wants this fight it's got to be at 147. If he can't get Khan out of there in 5 rds he will be soundly out boxed or even stopped by a guy who has never legitimately lost a decision and that includes the Peterson robbery.
Brook is way smarter than Khan. He would never get caught like Khan was v Canelo and Garcia. Khan falls for traps all the time. Against anyone who can punch Khan is always a prime highlight KO possibility.
Toss up. Wouldn't surprise me if Khan broke Brooks face for a 3rd time. Brook = overrated Khan = underrated
You honestly think Khan can stop Brook? seriously? I mentioned my take on the fight, Brooks superior technical boxing and timing will win him the fight by TKO. Once Khan gets timed (and he does against good technical boxers who can time his flurries), he will be hesitant to engage long/mid range. his main defence is his offence, and when you shut that down and start timing him coming in with his rapid punches he will not be so willing to get into those situations and he will be lulled into traps. Its a pattern in all his fights. All trainers know this its not rocket science.
traded with Khan? he timed a left hook, take a look at the fight again. Garcia needed to stand close and engage as that was the only way he could time a shot at Khan. I agree with you Brook these days doesn't do as much body work as he did in his earlier years. Where did you hear avoided Tim Bradley? was you in the camp or Brooks manager/promoter? Truth was when he was with FW he was mandatory for Manny Pacs belt problem was Brook was little fish for manny and no reward he ended up in no mans land. The fight with Tim B never came up from my memory. Brook just wasnt worth the risk/reward for any champs to fight at 147 and hence whey went the IBF route. Sad but true if mathroom gave any of the champs lots of $$ then maybe a unification could of happened.
Read my post. I didn't make a pick. I put up scenario. If this fight happens at 147 and Khan is still hanging around after 5 or 6 rfds Brook will be gassed just like he was against Spence. The eye was just an excuse from the brit fan boys. Khan has out boxed every guy he has fought except for Bredis where he was koed early. Even the guys that koed him were behind. If Khan can last until halfway he could stop him based on the fact that Brooks fragile scull has a habit of caving in. Brook could very well knock him out but in my opinion he needs to do it in the 1st 5.
khan is a laughing stock comedy act who's had a manufactured protected career and still failed badly , Brook would spark the glass jawed bum out, not as fast as I'd spark you out but it'd still be quick.
