    it has to happen as neither are going to conquer USA the way its going...before they know it they will be too old and yesterdays men...i predict as soon as Mayweather bins off the fighting Khan idea that this fight will happen...

    cant wait...never wanted to see a uk fight more than this..

    imagine with Frampton v Quigg on bill

    If he manages to get out of his 50% Roach 50% Hunter style of boxing which is doing him no favours, then yeah maybe

    Yes. Would you pick Brook to beat Paulie, Judah, Kotelnik and Maidana? If Khan gets his act together in training then yup he schools Brook all night.

    i was at that Diaz fight ,very lucky to get the decision i thought..

    if ever there was trainer NOT suited for Khan it is surely Hunter...

    he need s someone to bring the best out of him not stifle him

    I think Khan is possibly burned out and a bit in decline.Also got a feeling he wants to fight Floyd then retire.For a Brook fight to happen it probably needs,firstly,Mayweather to sign to fight Maidana,and secondly,no news of a title fight for Brook by the summer.Then,out of frustration,it might just happen.Id say Sheffield.But if it doesn't happen this year,it won't happen at all.
    Even a Khan in decline would be by far Kells best opponent.Near enough 50 50.

    5 million is a massive purse,especially without either holding a belt

    its a no brainer

    If say,Brook won a title by,lets say,August,I could see his first defence being against Amir in Sheffield in the winter.But theres a lot to consider.Amir will be observing Ramadan and would also need a warm up,as he's been inactive.But as you say,if the money was right,they would fight without a title possibly.Then theres the question of money.Would you see a 50 50 split??

    Khan, for all his faults, has at least got in the ring with top fighters and has some good wins. Brook is all talk and not even very good anyway, this fight, like all these World title fights Brook keeps having final eliminators for, won't happen.
