    I think even a dehydrated, inactive version of Brook will KO Amir. I think Brook has always had his number and he always known it hence why he has ran for damn near 4 years.

    However there is a case to be made that Brook has had both eye sockets broken, he has had two rounds in a year and a half and has had to make 154 in a year a half, by the night of the fight, it could be over two years depending on when the fight is signed for.

    What do you think, has Amir finally got one over on Brook?

    With the rehdryation clause yes. The way Kell is talking though he won't fight with that clause in place.

    What are the consequences of Brook not complying with the rehydration clause? (Will we see something like Horn vs Mundine where Mundine will receive fines for weighing over the limit?)

    The rehydration clause does make Khan look like he's afraid Brook is too big for him which is weird seeing how he was happy to fight Canelo and has always be reluctant to fight Kell.

    Sounds like something Khan would seriously do, any other fighter would just be fined. F**k Khan and his bucket of makeup wife.

    Khan is afraid of losing to Brook after the long feud they have. He will make any unreasonable demands to get Brook to turn the fight down so he can say ‘see I told you I wanted the fight’.

    Yes he is catching him at the right time..... but will still get KO'd. It just might take a little longer than anticipated...

    Brook will be put in a giant vice and squeezed until sufficient water comes out. Subscribe early to watch this exclusive footage.

    Kell Brook even in his most dire drained state, still hits about 10 times harde than Sammy Vasquez. It won't matter.

    Canelo was and is a mega star. Kell is the complete opposite. He has stepped up 3 times in a 14 year career. Twice is got his face smashed in and the other (against Porter) he won a close fight.

    Furthermore, I think people will want to blame Khan regardless. Kell always gets a pass for never stepping up. Take Khan out of the equation completely (imagine he did not exist) and Kell would barely be mentioned. He'd be another Matthew Macklin type of fighter. Khan's name has carried him (as sad as it makes me to admit that).

    The facts are;

    Brook has been a career welterweight since 2004. Him struggling to make weight is not Khan's fault and highlights his own lack of discipline. If it was such a struggle then he should have moved up.

    When Brook was champion, the IBF had a 10lbs rehydration limit too.

    Khan is only asking Brook to honour something he has done in the past but the critics dont want to see beyond that.

    Kell was banking on a catch-weight and no hydration clause so he could have sizeable advantages over Khan on the night and that has been taken away from it hence why he is so bitter.

    Kell, if you are so much better then accept the terms and get that career high pay day you have been so pathetically desperate for.

    Both are shot.

    Brook has a broken face and little confidence and appetite left for boxing

    Khan has been short circuited so many times that his electricity bill is overdue by 10 years.

    I don’t believe in weight bullying so long as this ain’t for a title I don’t care what Amir Khan demands, if Brook loses I don’t wanna hear any complaints about the weight. If Brook signs for those terms he needs to shut the **** and beat this clown like he said he would all these years.
