    Two UK fighters with decent skills and average power, with so many supporters (and haters, unfortunately). It would be a great spectacle and pay-day for both, and 50/50 type of match, I presume.
    What do you think about ?

    Now we know why Brook wanted the Khan fight so badly, it is because he is so much bigger naturally than Amir. He has around 15lbs over Khan on fight night.

    Brook should stick to 154lbs and Khan at 147lbs.

    Brook is not so powerful, quite average. OK, Khan's chin is pretty weak, but Brook is not a brutal destroyer.
    I think that skills would be deciding factor, not power.

    I don't think Khan goes anywhere near Brook, Hearn would have to make Khan such a huge offer to make Khan think twice but even then he wouldn't take it and I don't think Brook would have that either.

    Brook isn't going to take the smaller percentage now, no way, not after a PPV of that size in the UK against Golovkin and now with HBO making it clear they are interested in putting him in huge fights.

    I think a Brook Vs Khan fight is now officially dead, although Brook lost and picked up a nasty injury he wasn't blasted out and didn't take a savage beating and proved he has a fantastic chin on him, I think Khan might have taken the fight if he thought Brook was damaged goods but Brooks display at the full 160 limit against a man nobody wants to fight would have put the final nail in the coffin in my opinion.

    On the flip side, Khan was brutally knocked out at 155 against a very solid puncher but a puncher not of the same planet as Golovkin, Khan did have the look of damaged goods after that KO and so I think Khan will return to 147 and eventually get battered by Spence, Thurman, Porter or Garcia. Actually it could be a list of fighters at 147, Khan looks to have zero punch resistance now.

    Brook is being talked about for a Canelo showdown and Khan is talking Conor McGregor and is still banging on about Mayweather, anyway like I said I think they are so far apart now we might as well stop talking about it.

    There is no way khan can stay away from brook for 12 rounds, he's too accurate and his timing/distant are very good. You heard golovkin say his distance is very good. Amir tends to slow after 4 rounds and kell would catch him 5-8..

    I think khan, if he wants it will try bring brook back to 147 to try drain him and gain an advantage... but as said above it may be over, kell will no doubt get a US TV deal for his next fight and will probably have some big names from america to try fight.. whereas khan will be fighting a low level opponent in january not to risk his mando v garcia

    Do you even watch fights?
    Khan got taken out by 1 punch. He was clearly winning most of the rounds and looked great. Canelo is all round far better than Brook in every department size, strength, speed, skill, boxing iq, experience and chin. He's also younger with better stamina.

    Brook went less than 5 rounds, lost them all and got bashed from pillar to post. He took such a beating he will most likely be out for a year.

    Now you are telling me Brook is the hero?
    Gtfoh and take your GGG pjs off. That seems to be the only reason to talk up Brook now to make GGG look better

    Khans skills are overrated, Brook is as equally as skilled if not in a different way yet more powerful.

    Canelo has better stamina than brook? Your crazy same guy that gasses at 154 against trout & Lara?
