A final end to the Khan/Brook debate!

Lets stop this debate right away, firstly I think money will be such a huge factor in this fight happening that I cant see it happening for at least 18 months if at all. I personally would love to see it. I am not a fan boy for either of these guys but respect them both for what they have done and achieved. Remember just how young they both are Khan 25 and Brook also 25, which in boxing terms is so so young considering the likes of Froch are at their peak at the age of 34. In terms of experience I would say Brook is behind Khan, Khan has had 7 world title fights and it will be 8 by the time he faces Peterson again, add to this (despite being past his best) fighting an absolute living legend in Marco Antonio Barrera. Kell needs those marquee names on his record and to break America (which I think he will do) before he should fight Khan. Brook should go for some fighters that are in the same position he is in, young up and coming hungry fighters on a long winning streak or alternatively some former world champions on the final stretch of their careers. The names Ill throw out there are Mike Jones, Carson Jones or Selcuk Aydin (all young up and coming) or alternatively the likes of Malignaggi, Judah or Clottey. (Big fighters at the end of their careers) after taking out two of them as marquee names on his record go for a world title, now bearing in mind the 4 world title holders at welterweight are Mayweather, Pacquiao, Berto and Senchenko I would definitely say (and Im sure Kell would agree) he isn't in the same league as two of those yet, I think the Berto fight would be brilliant but too much of a risk for Kell at this stage of his career with too much to lose just yet, so Id go for the easier option in Senchenko (just as Khan did with Kotelnik) for Kell to pick up a title. Then make sure Kell has two of the above fights in the US to build his brand over there then he'd be ready for Khan. Not only that but with a world title around his waist Khan wouldn't be able to ignore him. On the other hand take Khan, he needs to firstly get past Peterson and to be honest I'm still very wary that despite losing first time around I still think Khan might be taking Peterson lightly. If he defeats Peterson then he should step up to 147 and get a couple of fights under his belt, he shouldnt jump in there straight away with the likes of Mayweather, he needs to test himself at making the weight (which Im sure wouldn't be a problem) and just get used to fighting at 147 first. Whilst Brook is busy establishing his name in the US and heading towards a world title Khan should test himself at welterweight and perhaps grab a marquee name on the way, each fighter have another 3 fights after the Peterson match, then a big open air stadium fight in the UK and for a welterweight world title would be the right way to go for both. If only it was that easy hey?
