    Just seen it on sky sports, I assume it's on Warrens website aswell. He said he put a 'lucrative' offer to Khan about fighting Brook in the UK in April.

    Can't see it myself. Pointless khan jumping up to 147 and then coming back down to 140 for the Bradley-Devon winner. After he has cleaned up 140 then it is a logical fight IMO.

    I'd much rather see brook in with Matty Hatton for the European title.

    It will be interesting to see if Khan considers it a 'lucrative' offer.

    If it does come off, I can't see Brook winning. Maidana hits alot harder than Kell, and he couldn't stop Amir. And i can't see special K outboxing him somehow.

    Makes no sense for Khan to fight Brook. Prescott is the most viable.

    Difference between brook and maidana is thudding heavy hands vs. accuracy and speed...

    Kell's awkward and i could see him flooring khan if not knocking him out

    Very much agree with this.

    Fight just doesn't make sense for me. If Khan was staying at 147 I would understand the logic, but he wants to clean up 140 before moving up so there really isn't much point.

    Would be a good fight tho

    I think Kell Brook would be a potentially really difficult fight for Khan. Brook should be coming into his own soon and with a step up in class soon I think we'll start to see the best of him. He could frustrate Khan and probably counter him pretty easily. Khan's fast but his defence still isn't very good despite the comfortable win over Kotelnik. Malignaggi and Maidana caught him pretty easily at times and he was always getting hit when he was coming through against guys like Michael Gomez and Willie Limond.

    Khan hasn't got the brain... his hands are fast that's about it

    Pre maidana I'd have To agree with Kell being able to KO Khan. But inthat 10th round, Khan was hit with everything but the kitchen sink by a guy who had knocked out all but 3 opponents.

    Kell is a lot more awkward than Marcos I'll give you that, but is he tougher? I'm not so sure.

    Maidana is heavy handed but a small guy, Kell is a proper WW with good speed..

    Khan comes wind milling in against him he's in trouble. At this stage anyway

    If Warren can get the WBO title involved (I'll assume Pac will vacate it soon), then I think it might make Khan interested.

    Kell needs to fight a guy with a pulse then show his power and awkwardness may be Warren should be calling out Clottey with his "lucrative" offer.

    Khan won't fight Brook as Franks offer will be a pile of shite. Last time he boasted he offered 500,000.....half what Khan makes from Golden Boy.
    Brook fighting anyone world class would be a first.

    Khan is building his US profile so he can secure a megafight.

    Fighting a domestic guy like Brook at a different weight is a total waste of time for Khan unless the money really is exceptional.

    Would be a decent fight though.
