    Brook is as naturally big as Canelo and according to the only man who has done 12 rounds with both Brook hits harder !

    In any case Brook won't come into the ring 175-180lbs will he..

    Not had proof that Canelo has ever come in at 180ibs in his career, only hearsay. If he did it would weaken him. A lot of his weight is not natural weight, hence why he's one paced.

    You're right. Khan needs to steer clear of Brook because he already has 4 defeats.

    Khan is done imo
    Spent his career having tune up warm up getting used to new trainers testing the weight etc etc type fights
    Best win a green not world trained Maidana then kotelnik imo
    Worst fight salita \ molina

    He wanted to out the sport at 28 and that balance was no where near what he thought it would be
    Wealth can't buy health
    His family should be encouraging him to step back and asses the whole situation
    I mean look at audley depression brain injuries and well he became a bit if a laughing stock
    It's been fun to watch and painful listening to him and his fans but I would not wish any harm in later life
    He got in got paid well now he needs to think of the future
    Decent career that maximised his earning potential

    You'd think Khan is all about money these days, but he won't take the Brook fight, even though a Brook stadium fight would be a huge purse. I genuinely believe he thinks he's to good for this fight, he sees himself as some kind of superstar in the US, when in reality he's turning into a journeyman out there.

    Canelo isn't a truly huge puncher.

    Didn't someone like Matthew Hatton say that Brook was a bigger puncher than Canelo. Hatton gains nothing by bigging up Brooks power.

    Kahn is almost at the door of last chance saloon. Now rebuild (again) to try a get a shot at Garcia which is at least winnable as Danny doesn't seem as good as he was around the time he was being Matthyse etc if he looses that don't see where he goes.
    Win and the Brook fight is there but you just don't fancy him seeing off anyone with a dig. He got passed Maidana but hes always been a slugger not a boxer/puncher like Brook.

    Brook hasn't fought enough top flight opposition but its a 50/50 fight now and Khans chin might mean its 60/40 Brook because his timing is class when he lets his hands

    I agree with most of what you said, I think Khan knows he only got 3 or 4 at most fights left..

    It would make sense if he beats Garcia picking up the WBC belt and Brook beats Vargas there will be 3 belts on the line, who ever wins that is the top dog at 147..

    Virgil Hunter said that Khan really struggled to get down to 147 the last 2 times. His jet-setting Dubai lifestyle makes me wonder if he might not try again.
