    I always enjoy watching him fight. But unfortunately his chin lets him down.

    Too little too late, i like Amir, and don't think for one minute he is fazed by BROOK...

    Personally this would be a career ending fight for Kell...

    LOL I just don't know any more, Khan on his day can look very good but when was the last time he had a day?

    I honestly believe the Canelo defeat and the manner of the defeat seriously damaged him, If he does come back at a decent level I believe he will be gunshy, very brittle and a KO waiting to happen.

    People said that since Gomez put him down and after Prescott knocked him out they said his career was finished. Look what he has achieved since! We all know Amir Khan can get sparked easily that's what makes him such good entertainment (and great fun to bet on back or lay).

    Algeieri, Alexander and Collazo all beat Sam Eggington and it's a fight Amir would never entertain. No disrespect to Sam but he is miles off Khan's level and goes in with just a punchers chance (lol).

    Brook quitted for a very good reason as he thought there was potential he might go blind. I think anyone would do the same thing under the same circumstances.
    As far as Khan is concerned he has been running away from Brook for years and if they did get in the ring Brook would destroy him and end his career once and for all.

    Yeah there is no saying how he will be after such a long lay off. I never disliked Khan, albeit thought he is completely delusional.

    Everyone says his chin let him down which to an extent is true, however his discipline/boxing brain was his biggest fault.

    Khan should have stayed at 140 lbs., 147 is too high for him.................Khan has talent, but it was mostly wasted, he just could not keep focus............

    Styles come in here for me. Khan could have 5 yr off and beat Eggington, who I would be backing. Hes far too fast combined with Eggington being a tad slow imo. He would look good doing it Khan as well...Sam is a very good fighter though, underated a bit !

    But does khan have the power to keep Sam honest nope
    Does khan have the stamina over twelve to keep sam at distance nope
    Does khan have the focus to stay disciplined / focused over twelve nope
    Sam would walk him down bigger and stronger than Garcia imo

    Mentally, I don't think it would have too much of a problem the Canelo KO as its expected against a far stronger fighter at a higher weight. Its the ones at his weight that's gonna chip away at his confidence. Theres no excuse if he lost to Brook as they are the same weight, or were, at least he can blag himself with Canelo !

    Khan has serious speed, so yes he can catch sam with something unawares, imo he can stun him without a doubt. I just think its the wrong style for Eggington !
