    With respect to Kell, Amir is the main man between the two, fought better opposition thus far, archived more thus far and more importantly is much better know in the states thus far in respect to selling the fight to the states.
    I'd love to see them fight in Wembley I believe it would better Carl v George

    Khan has had bigger fight so far and come back from his losses. But at welterweight, only Floyd and Pac are currently rated higher than Kell.

    Kell's the champion but it appears that Khan doesn't want to be the challenger.

    Kell calls out Bradley, Khan , Thurmans etc yet he fights Jo Jo Dan. I dont care if he is a mandatory or not the guy was useless with absolutley zero power.

    Dan is an acceptable opponent yet Khan beating Alexander is not a good win? Brook is a top fighter, no doubt about it and i hope he goes on to big things.

    Right now he has only beaten Porter, the man who destroyed a well past prime part time commentator Malignaggi.

    Khan has beaten Judah,Maidana,Alexander,Kotelnik. Yes he lost to Petersen and Garcia but atleast he fought the top guys of the division. Maybe he will fight Cotto or Broner next, big names and big paydays.

    I am in no way a Khan fanboy, i cant stand hearing him speak his garbage. But facts are facts, Khan has fought the better opposition by a country mile and is a big name in boxing. Kell is not and fighting the opposition he fought last night wont do anything for him.

    I couldnt care less about Khan fighting Molina or struggling with Diaz or getting a gift against Limond or getting sparked by Prescott. You miss my point entirely.

    You think Jo Jo Dan is an acceptable opponent for a world champion? How will that standard of opponent help with his career progression?

    Mandatorys along with all of the 10 world champions per divsion dont mean **** all.

    If he wanted the biggest payday and a chance to be one of only two welterweight champions, he would fight Kell.

    It doesn't appear that he wants it.

    Do you understand what a mandatory is ?

    Clearly not.

    Judah was shot, Maidana was at 140, Alexander is shot, and wtf is Kotelnik in the grand scheme of things.

    Peterson was dismantled in 3 rounds by Matthysse.

    Garcia is probably one of the few live opponents Khan has fought, and he was taken apart.

    Brook is a fighter, Khan is a product, and thankfully some people can see through the marketing bs.

    What did froch have to say in his IFLTV interview last night? Seems to have upset Martin Murray somewhat...Murray tweeting that the cobra is a "whopper" who he would "smash". Allright Martin.

    Definitely. Best fight since the Benn/Eubank Watson days. I agree about Khan being the major player at the moment,but I believe this is changing quickly. I think Brook is getting better known by the Americans than he was,by a long chalk. Plus he has the title,the only one Floyd doesn't own. If these 2 fight,the winner would look an attractive proposition,particularly if it was Kell. Undefeated champion,and I think this fight is the only one he'd cross the water again for.

    Froch was asked about Golovkin and said he went 11 rounds with Martin Murray and lets face it, Murray wouldn't last 3 rounds with the Cobra :lol: Something along those lines.

    then the fight won't be made, Kell has earned his title and within reason can call the shots, it's one of the benefits of being the champ:good
    It would be a great fight though eh?
