    Kell Brook says he is willing to go down to 147. Is Khan ducking Brook or not?

    No duck if his next fight is Crawford.

    Cherry pick by Crawford but hardly Khans fault. No duck

    Just like when Bradley fought Pac over Khan.

    Khan is ducking Brook, just like Ricky Hatton ducked Junior Witter. He didnt want to give Witter the payday. You cant be mad at Floyd for not fighting Khan, because Khan is doing the same thing.

    Well there are a few issues at stake here, Khan has said he wants the biggest fights with the biggest money..

    That's Brook, no realistic fight out there will make Khan more money.

    Khan has also said he wants legacy fights, Brook does more for his legacy in his own country than Crawford does by miles.

    Khan has time and time again has demanded conditions for a Brook fight and nearly every time those conditions have been met (like Brook winning a world title) Khan has changed his mind, moved the goal posts and tried to find another way of avoiding Brook.


    The reality is I am not nowhere near as excited, hyped or whatever you want to say about this fight and neither are many others, they should have done this years ago but it is almost indisputable that Khan has and is ducking Brook.

    I think Khan thinks the Brook fight is still there regardless of who he fights next. I also think he likes the thought of losing to Brook a lot less than losing to Crawford. Brook has UK bragging rights if he wins. There's a lot more at stake ego wise for Khan should he lose to Brook.
