    With victories over Maidana, Barrera, Judah, Kotelnik, Diaz, Malignaggi, Algieri, Collazo, Alexander etc that isn't true and all of those plus a quite a few others I didn't mention would easily be the best/2nd best win on Brooks resume can you deny that?

    Yeah true,I hope he gets Garcia next to right the wrongs of his fight with him,Garcia does not want Khan again.

    Sorry mate Brook will shatter what's left of Khans chin and retire him to the status of gatekeeper. Brook is coming down from 160 whereas Khan is coming from 155 plus Brook is the naturally bigger of the two.

    Your right Khan has an impressive resume but except for Maidana who wasnt the beast we saw in the Broner and Floyd fights Khan has lost to every other power puncher since 140.

    For god sake he went life and death with Algeri before giving Canelo a chance of being in with a contender for knockout of the century. Khan used to have the goods but as time has gone his chin seems to be worse than ever and no matter how will he can box he will always be stopped by a puncher at this point.

    Garcia don't but neither does Khan clearly or else he would have activated his mandatory clause. I don't wanna see him in with Thurman that will be an embarrassing loss.

    So you are going to say he is drained when Khan clowns him, that's pathetic really, there should be no excuses especially since Brook is meant to be so much better

    Canelo would detonate on Brooks chin and he would be out just like Khan was and since when has Brook been a puncher. Look at his resume the only 2 decent fighters he has fought he either got ktfo from or went to decision, quite a few of the bums he fought went the distance!

    That would be totally unfair to Spence (Provided step-aside money wasn't offered or acceptable), who is the mandatory at 147.
    Personally, I don't believe Brook will ever go back to 147.
    He'll probably stay at 154 and move to 160 later.
    There are many exciting fights for Brook at 154.

    Nah if Khan beats Brook I would give him all the credit in the world regardless of the weight. The problem is Khan has been ducking Brook for years, moving goal post after goal post in order to not face him. I think Amir will fight either a pillow fisted fighter or retire, those are his options if he doesn't wanna have to be woken by the smelling salts again.

    Who made that story that Khan has been ducking Kell for years up? He's only been a welterweight since 2014! Since then he has fought straight former or current world champion's?

    Canelo is a much, much tougher fight then Brook so that can't be considered ducking taking that fight +he nearly had a Floyd fight as well

    I don't care what's fair. I just wanna watch the best fight the best.

    Brook v Thurman is much better than Brook v Spence.

    Do people really think brook is scared of Spence?

    He just got pulverized by the most avoided fighter on the planet two weights above him, had his face smashed in and was begging for more.

    Spence is unproven

    No it's not.
    They are both very good fights and each will offer superior aspects distinct from one another.
    Unleash Spence!

    Yeah your right but I think Brook vs Spence or Spence vs Thurman is more competitive than those guys vs Garcia or Khan.

    I certainly don't think his scared of him or anyone in the division but is willing to take the risk of possibly losing to a prospect I don't think he will.
