    When it comes to the Brook fight, Khan is all talk. He knows if he loses to Brook, that's the end of the road.

    He'll talk it up once again, then price himself out during talks or move the goal posts again.... his act is boring. He's been irrelevant for years now.

    I see Brook moving to 154, but should the fight get made at either 147 or 154... Brook will bust him. As the old saying goes, timing beats speed. Brook is too sharp and accurate, he'll hit Amir and he'll do his funny dance again.

    Brook is all Khan has left and Khan is all Brook has left, fans will pay to see this fight, but after that they should both retire................

    Yer right. Who ran from who? Brook would not accept a career high payday to fight Khan so goes and gets messed up by Spence for less money. Dumb move. Ask him if he would have taken the Khan fight if he had it all over again. He only has himself to blame.

    To go from fighting mediocre at best fighters like Kevin Bizier and Frankie Gavin to fighting arguably the biggest puncher in boxing right now two divisions above without any warm ups in that division has to be one of the stupidest decisions in boxing history!

    Khan was never interested in that fight, even if Brook accepted 30% (which would have been ridiculous) I'm sure Khan would have found a way to avoid it.

    Khan is a Glass Jawed fraud.

    struggling to think of any fight out there for the both of them right now that would do big ppv numbers. They would be dumb not to do it.

    When the Khan Brook fight was negotiated most people had Brook winning by Ko and that more than likely would have happened or he would have least won and come through unscathed with his ability to command big pay days in tact. Now he is virtually on the scrap heap with 2 ko losses and big problems with his eye sockets. If he fights Khan now there won't be the same offer on the table. I see a lot of people thinking it's more of a 50/50 type fight and some even thinking Khan can win. Khan will not fight him above 147 and if Brook loses he is finished. If Brook goes to 154 there is no big money fights there for him and there is about 8 guys who beat him. It was a regrettable career decision to not accept the Khan offer. I guarantee if he had it all over again would have taken the Khan fight.

    At the same time i bet khan regrets it more. Went from earning millions fighting brook. A fight i ve always thought wasnt a foregone conclusion anyway. Became a laughing stock from hiding from brook yet again. No ones interested in his career anymore. Looks like its going no where. Not only are people not interested...but hes pretty much hated because of his actions. At least brook took the challenge. When its all said and done no one can say brook went into hiding. Took the challenge something he should be and will be congratulated for. Brook had a go and failed. Khan ran away to find another soft punching opponent. People have had enough. Even his options are earning him a lot less than the brook fight. Although brooks careers looks in tatters. Dont pretend khans isn,t either.
