    Skys adam smith and even his mate johnny nelson have picked khan to beat him all because of khans overrated win vs devon alexander lol
    DEVON ALEXANDER ladies and gentlemen..

    But anyways, do you think brook would prefer going in with no pressure?

    Dont think it matters. Imo it would be a close cautious fight but i expect brooks timing to start catching khan more as the fight goes on. Brook by tko 10.

    Khan can't take a punch, Brook has power.

    Pretty simply, Brook wins.

    I find it funny how this win over Alexander is perceived.

    It was Alexander ffs yet this pundits are talking as if Khan beating him makes him too much of a risk for the top fighters in the division.

    It's a joke.

    Fight wont happen unfortunately as Khan and his team are scared. First Khan rightly says a couple of years back Brook needs to build his reputation and beat someone, then he says he needs to win a world title and if he does we can fight, he then says I want to fight Floyd, then I want to fight pacqauio next. Now he doesn't want to fight Kell this summer !!! So lets address the above, Brook beat a someone' he beat the unbeaten world champion Porter in his own backyard, and gained a world title so that takes them issues out of the agenda, then Floyd don't want to fight him as wants a bigger fight, then Pac wants Floyd and they agree to fight, and still Khan puts of Brook. That is a camp running scared ladies and gentlemen.

    Yes, I think so. Underdog status is good for a fighter for two reasons:

    1. less pressure, as the expectation is all on the favourite
    2. added motivation to prove the disbelievers wrong

    yup personally think floyd and manny (esp floyd) are just playing him and have zero intention of fighting him but Khan has deluded into thinking he's a pound for pound top 10 and he's in the same class as them but the reality is he's trying to dodge fighting a real credible opponent (brook, thurman, even shawn porter) and fighting feather fisted or shot fighters who won't trouble him, which would explain the algeri rumours as he is one of the few opponents that could be classed as credible in some eyes who he could knock out

    You say the Alexander win is overrated, I actually feel that amongst boxing fans, not pundits, it is underrated. You talk of it as if he beat a guy with a 20-5 record or something like that but hes a former world champion, done as good a job as anyone on Maidana. Beat Matthyse too and lost a close decision to Bradley.

    As for the Brook vs Khan fight, I think Khan will win maybe 116-112 or something like that, I feel he is too quick for Brook and Brook is too simple and he doesn't have much variation so Khan will know what punches are coming. I'm not one of these Khan fans that have some unjustified hate for Brook, I do like Brook and think he is a very good fighter but I just think Khan beats him. Brook still stands a decent chance of KO'ing him though.

    Tough fight to call and probably won't happen. If pushed I'd say Khan but I reckon there's a good chance Brook has him doing the Khan-Khan again.
