    Waste of time and Khan is full of it. He's not on Mannys nor Floyd's level. Said Brook should test himself as he has and fight Algeri. This guy is a clown.

    I look forward to the day Khan just simply disappears! He's a walking contradiction. Everything he say like "if i fought brook it might be his last fight" is just a projection of what he thinks about himself in his subconscious. There is a reason people now see him as a yank. He's hugely disliked here by the fans i feel (apart from his fellow asian bum lickers) thats why he doesnt fight here.

    He does have a point, Rios isn't a WW and Brook's/Thurman's level of opposition in their careers is nowhere near as good as Khan's

    Khan is a begger. Popularity should not be the only thing Floyd should fight for because he wasted a fight on Guerrero who had zero fanbase.

    Do you not agree that he has the style to make it an exciting fight? His speed, range, ability to pick up rounds. Call me a nut hugger or whatever but I genuinely think he's the one that causes the most problems

    Lol @ Khan saying rios isn't a WW when he just fought Algeri.

    Khan is a walking contradiction.

    Thurman and Brook have better WW resumes.

    But Khan sells more. Khan has done more in his career than both Brook and Thurmans careers combined. I will however agree that Brook and Thurman are more natural WWs. However Khan's level of opposition throughout his career is much stronger than the other two

    Range? Floyd has the longer reach.

    He can't outbox Floyd.

    The last fight showed that Khan has poor defense, doesn't look comfortable on the back foot, has no inside game, and a low ring IQ.

    He literally claims things and doesn't seem to process when they are utterly false or contradict what he is trying to steer himself clumsily around and avoid accepting. He has some form of mental blockade that stop him from realizing what he says is as watertight as a balloon that's had a hundred darts thrown at it.

    'I'm fighting the big names' - fights Collazo, Alexander and Algieri, none of them are a bigger fight than Brook to the boxing community, they're more or less C-level, sure better than Dan and Gavin.
    'I'm selling out arenas' - attendances weren't any better than other fighters in the division, large swathes of seats were closed each time
    'Everybody knows who Amir Khan is, everybody wants me to fight Floyd' - see attendances, again, compared to Brook yes.
    'Kell Brook is not on my radar, I am after Pacquiao and Mayweather' - Brook has the belt, it's one of the biggest fights in boxing, Brook beat a relevant fighter

    He is banking on the fact Brook is a few rungs below him on the resume but we're talking about RELEVANCE getting you a superfight... there is no reason he shouldn't fight Brook for the say on who gets Mayweather. If Brook beats Rios, that wins as good as any of Khan's recent wins. Khan also needs to rematch Garcia and Peterson.

    Khan has never knocked anybody out in his life, Brook has a great chin and power and would flatten Khan with ease and he knows it.
