It's pretty obvious, brooks name isn't big enough world wide for him to lose to. He loses, his career is essentially over... I'm sure he is confident in himself but at the back of his mind he'l never forget his chin problems and brooks a big welterweight who can punch. He doesn't fit the requirements for a khan opponent at the moment, they're clearly looking at guys who can't punch & aren't big welterweights. You could really tell amir was shocked by algieris gameplan and was caught quite a few times, had that been a big puncher he'd of probably got KO'd. You can clearly tell from a recent interview with virgil he wasn't/isn't impressed with khans mind. 'theres speed and theres quickness, i prefer quickness' He is clearly stating khans got speed but he just doesn't know how to use it and he also mentions amirs mind is his biggest problem.
Tbh If i was in Khans position, and the money from Mayweather actually is massive: I would do the same thing, even if I thought there was only 15% chance of me losing to Brook and I hate Khan
such a shame. always liked khan, but the man clearly has no faith in his ability. trying to con a big payday before he has to get out
this is stuff we already knew but brook continuously fighting bums even after becoming world champion leaves a bad taste in your mouth.....no one wants to fight him and let brook get bigger....khan is the bigger name at the moment thurman, bradley, pacman, mayweather, chaves, maidana, the list goes on and on and still not stepping up to the plate....when brook does that khan will take the fight because there is nothing else left for brook to do.... at the moment brook isn't a big enough name......
so i am guessing you never watched the video then. khan said on video of brook beats porter he will take the fight. brook did that and then khan came up with more excuses. oh and please tell me how chris algieri was a bigger fight then vs kell brook? kell done what amir asked him to do. as amir thought kell would lose he then moved the goal posts. its 101 excuses not to fight kell brook.
im not saying khan not ducking brook right now... im just saying brook still needs to prove himself and let the fight build more brook beat porter around august and at that time khan believed he was one fight away from the mayweather fight....a fight with brook at that time would not do that for him so he went with devon and put on wonderful performance and had may 2015 locked in with mayweather until pacman came to the table if khan dont get sept fight then he will fight a top name in december and fight brook next year before the summer :deal
talk of their amateur sparring - I believe Khan probably did box his head off - if anyone knows more please say. Fight right now you can make big cases for both - but I think brook wins by stoppage behind on points when it comes. Would Khan demand a silly share of purse though ? The Khan interview that got posted (when Berto, Guerrero and broner gatecrash) Broner clearly says Khan is the money fight !!
I think it was at Crystal Palace on the England squad and Kell has said since then he got the better of it. Khan now says the same, but he also said he did well sparring Andre Ward. Ward then said they'd never sparred.
If he came out and said that, I wouldn't have a problem. I wouldn't agree with it but I would respect it. I too was Khan supporter but he has made himself a laughing stock with some of the comments and then back tracking. He is doing to Brook what Mayweather has done to him and he didn't stop whinging then I do think if he fought Brook 18-24 months ago he would've won but cant see past a Brook KO now. Ideal situation. Mayweather has two more fights, Brook v Khan is chief support with a contract that the winner fights Mayweather......C'mon Floyd, save the day
