    At the scene.

    Poor Brook can't seem to nail this guy down. Khan would rather be KO'd by anyone but Brook it seems.

    Crawford by KO within 6 rounds.

    It's getting a bit ridiculous now. You're right Khan would literally rather be knocked out by Crawford than Brook. He knows Brook would knock him out and he can't bring himself to fight him, as he knows he'll have to live with it. Sadly the fight will probably never happen....

    Is it like a spite thing?

    Like Khan would rather poison the chalice for both of them then allow Brook the opportunity of being in the ever growing club of fighters who have splintered his mandible into shards.

    You make it sound like hes a journey man... hes had 3 knockouts his whole career, and 2 with exceptionally good fighters, not to mention big hitters and one he had no right being in the ring with at the size he did. People seems to forget Kells also been taken out twice by two exceptional fighters, one he also had no right being in the ring with at the size he did.

    I don't understand Brooks obsession with amir khan, he need to make his own fights and get his own names. Kells fighting Zerafa whilst khans going for the undefeated fighter. There no comparison in resumes.

    Selling his chin to the highest bidder, as long if it isn't Brook.

    Khan does really well against southpaw, so it should be interesting for a few rounds.
    I think their styles mesh really well.
    Unfortunately Crawford is a league above Khan.

    I'm going to give Khan the benefit of the doubt and say this is a negotiation tactic to try and squeeze a few more percent or a few more pound coins out of Hearn and Brook.

    The reason I have to think this is because Brook has done everything he can to make this fight, he went back to 147, he has basically agreed to the fight.

    Khan will never be forgiven and never be allowed to forget he didn't take the fight, personally I'd rather roll the dice and risk being knocked out than called a bottler, ducker and the rest of the abuse he will get forever from the British boxing fans.

    He is a dangerous boxer, but speed was his pal and hes leaving Khantown. Crawford by possible stoppage.

    Doubt it, Crawford is a light welter - welter, the same as khan. Kell on the other hand stated how he struggled to make weight at Welter, defo better at Super and upwards. Doesn't want him blowing up after weigh in.

    You can see Kell prefers more weight by his last 3 opponents. Its Why I think Khan v Kell is a stupid fight now, they excel in different divisions. Kell should go make his name at the higher weights he feels comfortable in.
