    Thing is kell is willing to take less. While agree he should forget about khan I understand his reasons.

    Personally think that all the ridicule from khan over the years, being told he isn't on khan's level has got to kell in a bad way.

    Kell really wants to hurt amir.

    Khan still has ranking in the 147 WBC so if he can beat Garcia (not saying this fight would be easy), then a unification fight between Brook & Khan is still a huge fight

    Khan doesn't need the Brook fight. He would have taken it already. He earned £9m vs Canelo and will probably get another decent payday in America.

    Yep, plus he's ranked #1 by the WBC for their belt anyway so he doesn't really need Brook.

    It's a bit choice this seeing that Brook has fought virtually no one.

    Why do people think that when you lose your a bum and if you win your P4P no1? Yes Khan lost to Canelo (he was winning the fight Imo when Kod) but so what he thought a guy 10lbs-14lbs bigger than him a guy who is unbeaten and a world champ. No shame in losing to Canelo. Same as there is no shame in losing to Garcia (who's a good fighter).
    Say what you want about Khan but he's exciting his speed troubles everyone and his suspect chin is always a worry. He's got many a world champ on his CV and hasn't lived a sheltered career protecting a 0loss like Brook.
    For me Kell Vs Khan would sell out wemberley with good undercard.
    As for being undeserving he could still ask for 10m and probs get it. Kell only win vs porter and Imo it was a draw... Khan still a miles bigger draw than Brook.

    Id like Khan to rematch Garcia.

    Still a fight i think he can win despite last times meeting. Maybe take a warm up and then go for Garcia and then hes back at the top of the pile(ish) with a belt and some meaningful fights and maybe a Brook showdown somewhere down the road.

    If he looses to Garcia the Brook fight is still there but realistically hes probably finished at the top level. He cant keep getting KO'd like he does.

    He doesn't deserve a shot lol. Do you honestly think Khan gives a sh it, if anything Brook and Hearn are desperate for a Khan fight and a massive payday. Khan is mandatory for Garcia and he can go on and make a bucket load of money.

    Canelo is not unbeaten and Garcia was meant to be a cherry pick unification at the time coming off the Pederson fiasco

    May have supposed to be a cherry pick, but look what Garcia has done since, it was hardly a loss to a journeyman.
    The Peterson Fiasco was a farce, losing to Alvarez is no shame in the circumstance, only the Prescott fight to me is the blemish.

    Alvarez would beat Brook, Garcia probably would, although I think it is a good fight. Where is the shame for Khan. The guy had the ***** to take it regardless of whether or not you believe it was for money, he still took it.

    Just give him some credit

    Khan deserves the shot purely based on his profile in the british boxing world in the last 10 years

    On IFL Boxing YouTube

    Mr Bills (a close friend of Amir's) says none of them have taken Brook's tweet after the fight very well. Not what Brook said but the timing of it, Khan was still on the floor apparently when Brook tweeted.

    I don't think it will happen any time soon now, Khan will use the tweet and the ill feeling as another excuse to blank a Brook fight.

    I think Khan goes down the Garcia route, but I still have a feeling Garcia will fight Mayweather in September so he might fight for the vacant 147 WBC title.

    WBC rankings at 147

    1 Khan
    2 L Peterson
    3 Andre Berto
    4 O Figueroa
    5 Ponomarev
    6 E Spence

    Khan Vs Peterson for the vacant title?
