    As someone who is in boxing Billy, surely you know the fight is not close to happening unless contracts are signed and even then it's never truly on until both step into the ring?

    Even then, why would Khan want to go into the ring after a year of inactivity against the P4P number 1?

    Given his last few fights Billy, what makes him deserving of such a shot? Just because he is the UKs best means nothing when on a global scheme he hasnt earned it.

    I'm a Kell fan, but the Khan hate is going well overboard. Lets be realistic, only one of them was bringing the money to the table to make Khan v Brook a big fight financially and it aint Kell.

    Both 27, both just over 30 fights and one of them has done a hell of a lot more 'showing' in the ring than the other.

    Whether he deserves the shot at Floyd or not, the simple fact is that for a long time he looked like he WAS getting it. I'd think 10x less of the bloke if he turned that opportunity down.

    Irrelevant. Doesn't matter who brings the money if one of you is being offered $5m does it?

    In that respect no, but he'd have earned a lot more through holding out for Floyd surely. Ok, so it never came off but had it of, Khan would have been in a far far better position financially

    It's never quite as simple as that though is it and the point is Khan can generate good money whichever route he takes in a way Brook can't. With regards to 'ducking' Brook...

    Does a Brook fight get Khan closer to a Mayweather shot than fighting on the undercard? Would Hearn have packed a contract full of options for that £5m? What contracts does Khan already have with Showtime and Goldenboy and do they even class Brook as a credible opponent for US TV?

    If you think the decision is ever 100% the boxers and as simple as 'here mate, come and have £5m with no catches' you're deluded.

    The reason is he been a previous two weight world champ and I'm sure he had been offered the fight by Mayweather for tean khan to mention it publicly and Mayweathers changed his mind and basically pissed over everyone

    Let put it this way Amir has a far greater chance of beating Mayweather than the Argentinian

    billy you seen the combo khan threw before garcia timed him , i mean my nine year old knows better than that you do not throw a uppercut from there ffs makes me laugh now , this is a fighter as you say was a two time champion , i mean you see the interview after he leaves roach for hunter where he states he virgil is just learning him how to box ? , silver meadlist two time world champion , where do you think he gets his next world title from cause i dont see it

    everytime i try to like him he comes out with a stupid disrespectful comment !!!!!!!!!

    like his latest one...... 'Mayweather wont be a global superstar untill he fights me'



    if he stopped making stupid statements people would probably like him ???

    Don't really like his personality, but love him as a fighter and always support him. His fights are always exciting.
