    They both fought past their primes , but Kell clearly had more left .. they fought 6 or 7 years before that it would of been a different fight ..

    But khan wouldn't prove it
    He kept ducking brook
    The last bit is the risk khan took playing with Kells Career
    Fact is khan ran from a prime brook

    Khan was at 140 in the U.S and Brook was here at 147 fighting no bodies ...let's not forget .. but I do think after the Porter win Khan should of fought him ..

    So now I'm thinking he's a very big threat to everyone at 160. Don't get me wrong, it's a graveyard division at the moment but the best guy (Janibek) is a serious talent and previously I would've strongly favoured him to beat Sheeraz. However, that might well be a 50-50 fight now. Sheeraz is looking legit beastly

    Good to see you seeing the light in him lol

    Yes 50/50 with Janibek, I would even go down the Lara route he holds the WBA title , he looked okay Vs Danny Garcia , but that was more Garcia looks finished after that long lay off .

    I pick Hamzah to destroy Lara inside 6 rounds and retire him permanently lol with a nice final pay day ..

    I was impressed with how quickly he got Liam Williams out of there but, as I said earlier in the thread Williams' punch resistance was shockingly bad by that stage of his career. That being said, only one or two of the current crop would've been able to blow him out in such swift fashion.

    But the wins against Ammo Williams and Denny were legit very impressive and Sheeraz's combination of power, skills, punch picking and obviously size and length too, and the improvements he's made, make him very formidable and I see him as the #2 MW now behind Janibek despite the fact he's not even a world champion.

    I doubt PBC would let Lara anywhere near him

    You know the funny thing is I don't actually think that's Hamzah throwing his full power shots too it's almost like he in 3rd gear , his timing and counters are so good and they come natural to him, effortless the way he does it . I think we really saw him swinging in the Ammo stoppage that was Hamzah letting go full power .. scary stuff..

    I also feel he already a bit tight at 160lbs, I heard his chef say he having 1 meal a day during fight week to make weight , don't know if that's normal on fight week .. we will see a even stronger version of Hamzah at 168lbs ..

    Janibek probs the toughest fight for Hamzah , he has all options at the titles at 160 he No.1 with WBC/WBO , Your right about PBC I think they the only guys not working with Turki let's see , but I think Warren and Turki will make good offers for the champion Vs Hamzah to make it happen .. Hamzah may fight again on the Fury Vs Usyk card let's see ..

    Long jab you mean, his height and reach are insane for 160, he looked like he was fighting a small boy on Saturday.

    If this was any other division, It's pretty suspect. This is 160, one of the weakest divisions in a long time.

    He's only 25, if Hamzah continues to improve, no doubt he will beat Adames and maybe even Janibek.

    As long as he can make the weight, he's no weight bully to me (yet lol).

    He will most likely when he moves up to 168, he said he has 3 more fights at 160.

    I don`t think there`s anyone at 168 the same size as him either, he`s taller tthan Beterbiev, I would to see him take on Benavidez.
