    Khan keeps moving the goal posts.

    One minute "Brook isn't a big enough name", now he's headlining sold out arenas - so what's the excuse?

    "He hasn't proven himself at world level", he's world champion now - so what's the excuse?

    "He hasn't fought anyone", he holds a win over Shawn Porter - so what's the excuse?

    Now he's trying to price himself out of the fight.

    If Khan fights Garcia this summer nobody rational can critisize that.

    But it's always something.

    First he wasn't fighting Brook to get the Mayweather fight, then it was Pacquiao and now Garcia? What when that fight doesn't happen?

    i don't think for one minute Khan is scared of Brook but he is scared of losing to him but he should take the fight imo it's a massive UK stadium fight and he's a better boxer than Brook

    Brook knocks Khan spark out.

    This is why Khan is now avoiding him like the plague even though this is the best payday out there for him by a country mile.

    Khan has lost his hunger and is now cruising in his career- its a dangerous time to be fighting someone who hates your guts and is stylistically all wrong for you

    An IQ of below 80 and chin like bone china, and he has a high opinion of himself.:patsch

    But he clearly doubts himself otherwise he would not be avoiding the biggest pay day out there for him.

    Brook v Khan is a 50/50 fight I don't see a clear favourite at all. That being said Khan is definitely the one making this fight way more difficult to make than it needs to be. Khan v Brook now is a massive fight in 2 or 3 years time this fight may longer be relevant if either boxers pick up a loss or two.

    Who gives a fvck?? He is a boxer not a business man. We are on here discussing fighting and legacies as we care about boxing not bank balances. All this utter bull**** about maximising revnues and how much money people can make is what is destroying boxing. He is a competitive athlete- he should be driven to make the most of his abilities and to test himself against the biggest challenges- not how much ****ing cash he can generate for least amount of risk.

    i agree with the principles but you have to be very naive if you don't think that it is all about making ££'s and although i agree with the principles i wouldnt begrudge any boxer from looking to make as much cash as possible from their careers because at the end of the day the have a short period of time to make money from their talent and once they retire nobody really cares what happens to them because another boxer comes along for us to watch and support.

    Khan is a bigger joke than Ward and that's saying something
