The recent Khan Brook talking points. Khan signs with matchroom and declares he wants the brook fight (after brook has been calling him out for 4 years) fights Phil Lo Greco with brook working on the sky panel and they both build hype for the fight. Then fights Samuel Vargas and states after the fight his preference is the pac fight. After strong rumours the fight is almost done Khan says he wont fight Brook unless brook agrees to a 10lb rehydration clause which isn't a requirement for a non title fight( basically saying I want none of brooks power he must drain himself) Both fighters are at the bellew - usyk fight and they are caught on camera shaking hands and khan can be seen clearly saying the fight is on over a gentlemans handshake with brook (this video is all over youtube) Now khan is saying it doesn't appear Brook wants the fight because he hasn't been facing top competition (says a man that's just fought Phil Lo Greco and Samuel Vargas). I speak for the whole of the UK when I say we don't want Khan vs Crawford or khan vs many we want Khan Vs Brook and the reason this fight isn't happening is because Khan is scared to get knocked out infront of the whole country by his bitter rival and believe me Kell KOS khan 8 days a week. Kell brook is a hell of a fighter and needs to forget about this glass chinned coward before he wastes his last few years of his career. Kell should either stay at 154 and face Hurd or move down and face the likes of Porter/Garcia. Amir Khan is a timewaster and we all know Crawford will put Khan to sleep and the Brook fight is off anyway
not good because hes wasting time chasing Khan, if he kos zefera Saturday that's 2 knockouts at 154 against 2 top 20 guys. Personally he should stay at 154 and chase Hurd. IMO Brook stops Hurd but maybe well never find out.
I really don’t have much time for the Brook - Khan fight. Brook has put all his eggs in one basket, he’ll be top weight drained to beat the top guys at 147 and too small to beat those 154 monsters. No money for him at 154 either so he’s just waiting around for Khan and Khan knows this - it’s like he’s just toying with him.
Crawford is much more highly rated than Brook. If Khan chose to fight Crawford over Brook, then all credit to him; he is only chasing greatness. Some may say say 'no, no, he's only chasing money'... Well, good on him, a boxers career finished much earlier than normal, he should get every penny he can before retiring because the fans won't be paying his bills when he is 60 year's old. Most sportsperson's go broke, like Tyson and others have said, belts don't pay your bills.. Of course, I want to see the Brook fight, but Khan must do what is best for him. Also, a few years ago this was a fight Khan could have won, today I am quite sure Brook wins
not a chance Brook is to small for 154 I disagree there tbh, he smashed rabchenko out in 2 rounds and if he gets another early stoppage Saturday against Zerafa whos 25-2 with a sole ko loss to peter quillin. Brook has good boxing skills and power and IMO can compete at 154. In regards to 147 apparently hes been saying this week he can make 147 still and hes only lost once at 147 to errol spence theres no shame there. he can win a world title in either division
its not that I don't admire khan for fighting Crawford, but khan signed a 3 fight deal with matchroom in his own words "to make the brook fight happen" and the Crawford fight will be last fight and will probably lose. this fight has been talked about for 4/5 years and everytime we got close to it happening it always falls through and its always khans fault. id love khan to fight Crawford and lose and brook to fight another 147lb champion and win. karma is a *****
You have a lot of confidence in Brook and I respect that! I personally don’t see it and while there’s definitely no shame in losing to Spence, he blamed being weight drained and that will hurt him again against another champion. He’s not normally too small for 154 but Hurd and Charlo are beasts for the weight. Even Munguia would be too much for him I think but that fight wouldn’t happen anyway.
What if brook looses his next fight? Where does that leave there fight What if khan beats Crawford ? Crawford is more credible fight imo
So it is ok for Kahn to "take the money" to fight Crawford but it was NOT ok for Crawford to "take the money" from Top Rank? Pretty inconsistent. Crawford should take far less to box for Hayman because maybe Hayman will make a fight with Thurman or Spence? If it was that easy why was Spence fighting some body who barely had a pulse in his last fight and NOT one of Hayman's "name" fighers?
