    Surely Brook would have to drop his belt to fight Khan in may as his mando with Spence will be due before then?

    Majority draw after 4 rounds and GGG was easily winning the 5th so...

    Khan will put on a master class vs Brook..

    Would rather see Khan retire, or if he doesn't want to go out on a loss (which would be understandable) face a lower ranked opponent and get out.

    I would still fancy him to beat Kell but he really can't afford another knock out loss. The brain can only take so much

    Brook beats him by KO or points. Khan's a great fighter but he's suffered 3 vicious KO's, surely that's going to have a longterm affect.

    Weirdly I thought Khan's boxing looked a lot better against Canelo. Normally he is jittery and making too many unnecessary and excessive movements, but there he looked smooth and calm. He normally looks like an amateur style fighter but then he finally looked like a true pro and was doing better than most expected. Until getting brutally KOd of course.

    He has a chance of outboxing and outspeeding Brook but I think Brook stops him at some point. Either Khan UD or Brook KO, maybe Brook UD with a knockdown or two.

    Khan's a Glass Jawed joke, a just-above British level fighter. He's eaten the canvas vs people like Limmond and Gomez for god sake. Brook won't even have to train for this.

    And you also rated Frankie Gavin higher than Kell.

    Nah.. although Brook vs Khan isn't as big as it was 2 years ago, both fighters alongside sky and matchroom are not gonna give up that kind of split in PPV revenue by being chief support.

    Brook vs Khan still does tremendous numbers at the gate and on PPV.

    Brook batters Khan for me. I see Khan throwing quick flurries and then holding on for grim death.
    Khan thinks he's slick but he's not, he's just got fast hands. His footwork isn't even that good. In terms of using your feet intelligently, closing range and slipping shots, Brook is better and it's not even close.
