    I think Khan would be more favoured to win. His speed would trouble Brook a lot. I wouldn't rule Brook out, though.


    What i like about Brook is he's like a surgeon with his accuracy. He hits hard, too. In the Shawn Porter fight all Porter did was bumrush him and try and brawl on the inside. No straight punches thrown at all. He landed very little clean. Brook's output wasn't amazing but he has good accuracy. He hurt Porter numerous times in that fight.

    Khan is a much better boxer than Porter, though.

    The speed would be a problem for Brook but i think eventually he could outstrength him and time Khan's flurries. The problem for Brook is if he can deal with Khan's speed and output. I think it would be very difficult for Brook to deal with those two things unless he can use his strength and up his punch total.

    Brook is a big welterweight. I think beating Alexander is a bit overrated now.

    It was a really good win but not exceptional. Alexander isn't a big hitter so he's perfect to look good against. He lost his title to a brawler who bum rushes coming in with sloppy shots in Porter. He then fights Soto Karass who isn't that great. Just a basic come forward brawler who can win a gunfight type brawl if u become sloppy. He was a perfect opponent to look good against. The general consensus was Khan would win by a large margin.


    Khan is one of the best boxers out there. He's improved his defense a lot but i think he can still be timed and is open for a hard shot coming in. A timed counter no-look punch would be his undoing. A check hook would get him from Floyd but i don't think he's capable of doing so anymore.

    I agree, I think Khan will win by UD in this one.
    Obviously Brook has the power to KO Khan, which will make the fight more interesting
