Very good post mate. Only thing i ll say is...brook is more of a reflex fighter. Neither garcia or canelo are...they caught khan by working him out. Brook is good but his game is beating you using his reflexes. What my problem is....is are brooks reflexes quicker than khan can attack cause if there not it could become a problem. Slightly different levels but mallinaggi,s the same hes another reflex fighter. He couldnt get off on khan all night long. I know people will say mallinaggi,s not on brooks level. Its a fair point but i defo think its a fight people should watch when thinking about this fight. Mallinaggi literally didnt get off all night. Its the one thing reflex fighters dont like...speed. I d go as far to say go down khans record and see how he does against reflex fighters. Its one of the reasons people thought for a bit he was the answer to mayweather. Mayweather didnt really fancy it in the end by the looks of things either. I dont agree myself. Mayweather would have beat him easily but he would have been tricky for him.
Even just go down mayweathers record. He was a reflex fighters. That was the point of the hours a day doing that pad drill he done with uncle roger. Wheres the speedy fighters on his resume. Their wasnt many. Zab judah is one offhand i can think of...he caused mayweather problems.
Pressure khan and push him about the ring for a few and he's very susceptible to losing to almost anyone imo... People go on about his speed but it's the same thing over and again, flurries of nothingness. Like I said, imo if a fighter is patient and doesn't get frustrated with the 'speed' for a few , keeps pressuring its only a matter of time until khan tires and is very susceptible. Patience is key with khan, I think a lot of fighters get frustrated with him early on and lose their focus. I will say, with his attributes and fast starts, Khan is probably the best 3 round fighter out there, Lol Thanks for the thoughts guys.. Thanks..
Khan doesn't want it. His hoping Spence beats Brook. http://www.skysports.com/boxing/new...-before-british-battle-can-go-ahead-this-year If you asked Khan who would win Brook vs Spence, Khan would pick Spence. On what planet does Brook defending vs Spence make more sense for Khan? If Brook lost the fight is worth less than its worth now. But as I said Khan wants brook to lose so any fight that does happen Brook loses leverage and split demands.
Makes sense for the fight to happen now. I don't doubt that Khan believes in his ability to beat Brook but I think Brook has his number. If he circles Brook like he did Canelo then there is only 1 outcome. As for Spence, stylistically I think Brook KOs him. Brook's power will keep Spence at bay and he'll finish him mid to late rounds. Spence looks reckless with his hooks and seems easy to read. Do you think a 42 year old Bundu would have landed as many shots on Brook?
Khan is talking about fighting Brook later in the year yet his supposed to be #1 for the WBC so I guess he doesn't want Garcia or Thurman? If Brook fights and beats Spence his got big options and he wouldn't need Khan. I just think Khan again is putting up roadblocks and will always put up roadblocks as he doesn't really want the fight.
Power - Brook Speed - Khan Natural Talent - Even Footwork/balance - Brook Technique - Brook Accuracy - Brook Defence - Brook Punch variety - Brook Ring IQ - Brook Chin - Brook Stamina - Even Brook is far more complete but Khan would trouble him with his speed, especially early and it wouldnt surprise me if he managed to go the distance and win on points via a flurry spectacular. My prediction - Brook KO 8 after catching Khan with a well timed uppercut as Khan Kangaroo bounces into Brooks range with a flurry of Khan style uneducated bunchy punches.
Brook by KO. Khan struggles against fighters with good fundamentals. I also don't think you even need to be a power puncher to KO Khan at this stage, and Kell has good power at 147. I see it going the same way as Khan versus any good fighter. Puts up a good showing for 4 or 5 rounds, he does have very fast hands. But then he walks on to a big shot and the end is near.
Why does this clown get 6 month extensions and gets a pass but CEJ don't even get 2 weeks and gets harassed about it? Pathetic, fight Spence and take your beating like a man and GGG is foolish because CEJ is only getting better and GGG is declining so it will just be a bigger whooping next time!!!
