    Yea fair one.

    I seem to recall disagreeing with the way in which they "requested" a rematch. End of the day, Khan had won every round and it wasn't his fault the referee called the fight prematurely. Was a boring fight and a rematch wouldn't really generate the right money for Khan.

    I do think though, that if Brook can raise his popularity, the money will be right with it being a domestic in the UK and would be an ideal "time filler" for Khan and good experience for him at 147. That said however, I have been impressed with the way Brook has looked (albeit only at Euro level), and I personally wouldn't rule him out of an upset. I remember there being talk of Brook vs Jones a while back, perhaps if they met prior to Khan's late 2012 fight, it'll inject interest enough to make the bout happen. Would be interesting...

    Yup. I can see them putting their differences aside, especially if Kell manages to get his hands on a world title by then. Despite him needing to step up the competition, he is still a pretty good fighter with a bright future. And he definitely won't be a walk in the part for Khan, that's for sure.

    I think he wants Matt Hatton after Peterson, which would be a pretty easy nights work IMO.

    He wants nothing to do with Brook, don't know if its personal or what, but in a recent interview it seems he really does'nt like Eddie Hearn and Matchroom. Brook is real tough fight for him, especially 1st at 147.

    He slaps the **** out of Berto, takes his title, and then goes straight to Mayweather before the end of next year.
