    From his s****book this week-

    "Sky were on the brink of withdrawing from boxing, then we came along and suddenly they were back in the game. They have done a great job but people, tell me that BoxNation’s live presentation and traditional approach to coverage of the sport is superior."

    Hmmm.

    If Khan won't entertain Brook, then what chance does Skeete have of landing a fight with Khan?

    I quite like skeete, but that did make me laugh. If he beats eggington, ive been told singleton will be his first defence.

    :lol:

    And fights with Eggington -- and possibly Singleton -- would prepare Skeete for Khan, how exactly?

    ****** probably needs to pause for thought to reflect on this. And then, go for a long lie down in a dark room.

    Well I've read quotes from Arum saying it was TV companies that killed Khan's chances of a Pacquiao fight because he doesn't do numbers and his record is "spotty" so he isn't a PPV fighter.

    Now Khan fans, still going to insist Khan is a "draw"?

    People can laugh at a Skeete fight but Khan is sinking to that level with his inactivity and lack of quality opponents.

    I'm not a Brook fan, he is just as bad, if not then worse than Khan because Brook holds a belt.

    Anyway, I want to hear the thoughts of the Khanettes?

    A decent one because Khan will be a huge favourite and rightly so.

    Khan doesn't want to fight punches or quality so Skeete fits the bill.

    Perhaps Khan can fight Frankie Gavin, Jessie Vargas and Leonard Bundu as well. :lol:

    Brook fought Gavin so why not :lol:

    The other two are far too dangerous for Khan :think

    If their moving skeete forward after the eggington fight why match him with a kid eggington just battered and stopped. Dont think it will mater tho eggington beats skeete if they meet.

    Gavin at least was an in house fight and a quick turnaround for brook, Khan has been out for a year chasing unicorns

    Because he'd be british champ, and like many have done, would look to defend it a few times before moving up. Singleton now has the british challenge belt which will help him to become mandatory. I spoke to shayne a few weeks ago n he said he'd fancy the skeete fight.

    A challenge belt doesnt help u become mandatory for the British title. A challenge belt pushes u closer to area or a english title shot. Its the same as old masters title no one defends them.

    Also skeete is mandatory so if were to win against eggington he wud hav a voluntary defence or 2 b4 he had to face a mandatory himself.

    Even so, singleton would have a good chance of being one of those voluntary's. Its a good fight. I agree though, skeete has a tough challenge against eggington.
