    There is a reason why kell Brook isn’t lining up to fight anyone at 154 because except maybe mungai they all break him down and stop him. Kell would beat the crap out of Khan tho.

    I agree completely: The Khan fight has passed Brook by in my opinion, and I doubt he can even make 147 safely, which is a stipulation Khan would place on that fight happening. Khan isn't moving up again any time soon, so Brook should let it go, and concentrate on mixing it up at 154.

    Khan went against the script saying in no uncertain terms he wants Pacquiao next. Hearn then immediately said Brook fight is next or never. What a farce.

    Hearn wants his easy Khan Brook PPV cash. But if Khan ducks Brook yet again then Hearn will, with resignation, do his best to make the Pac fight.

    Lol at Sky asking Brook about AJ V Povetkin


    Bet you Brook barely knows who Povetkin is and seemed like he didn't give a shite while they was talking about it.

    Heard Brook being asked in interviews about a WBSS series in his own weight class before and could barely name 5 fighters, and the ones he did he either pronounced wrong, are not relevant or are in another weight division

    His gas tank was horrible, he seems depleted by around the 5th. But, that's to be expected, he hasn't gone past a round or made WW in a few years.

    To be fair...he heard 119-108 and 118-109 scorecards read out and probably thought he aced it.

    He also never watched the fight replay back either so it is understandable why he thought he did better than he actually did.

    Even Froch gave him 120-109 or something.

    Eddie needs to step up an give Brook his Khan.

    Otherwise I feel Brook leaves Matchroom.

    Khan: I could beat anyone with my performance today!

    Interviewer: Well, how about a fight with Kell Brook?

    Khan: B-b-b-but ... Kell ... he's not in my weight class, though! I don't like that guy, and don't want to give him the privilege.

    :lol:

    Hearn has said recently he doesn't think the money is there to get Pacquiao over in the UK to fight khan. Dunno what he is gonna do as khan won't fight brook.

    Where does khan go if he cannot get the Pacquiao fight?

    Remember after le Greco fight khan sprinted out the ring to avoid Kell.

    Tonight he looked to make any excuse he could lol

    Brook's face is damaged beyond repair. Think of Humpty Dumpty but in real life. That is Kell Brook.

    Kell knows this. He also knows that he will get banged out at 154lbs and also at 147lbs by the bigger punchers there.

    Khan is his ONLY shot at a big big pay day and he has been chasing it for years.

    By the way, Brook has been a career welterweight for over 10 years, so why is he struggling to make 147lbs? Khan is the guy who started off at 135lbs.

    Does he really need the weight advantage over Khan? He is already the naturally bigger fighter.
