    50/50 for me. I think they both have tools to give eachother problems. Neither of them impresses me THAT much, tbh. I don't think they know their way on the inside. So that goes out of the window for both. It would be fought at range and they're both difficult to cope with at distance. I think Brook would attempt to walk Khan down but Khan's fast feet would make it more difficult for him, especially early. I also think Khan can beat him to the punch. But for me Brook would counter punch him like crazy when he runs in. That's where i see Khan struggling in this match-up.

    I really would like to see Brook in with a decent mauler, as i said in another thread. I think he can be handcuffed. Khan certainly wouldn't be able to do that though.

    Brook UD......Khans not anywhere near Alvarez, and Kells better than Alvarez imo now.

    I would honestly take Khan. Brooks reflexes are bad for an Ingle fighter and he's way too easy to hit, not to mention a shite finisher and has a crap inside game.

    Let's get past Peterson first, that's a hard fight and will answer a few more questions about Khan.

    If Khan beats Peterson UD, then him as a fighter makes him all round better fighter, Kell has skills but on World level is untested, where as we seen Khan's highs and lows.

    I know its a comparison but on that Kell would give Alvarez a real good go, that to me makes him world level elite.

    Yeah Khan would totally take him to school inside and then probably fly around the ring on wings made of actual diamond because that **** happens in topsy turvy land.

    Strangely enough I agree with you. Brook showed a big improvement tonight, hes obviously been working on bits and pieces...only flashes of chin in the air syndrome which is good. I think that he would bother Alverez, doesn't make him e;ite though, not yet. Ireckon you're his dad, uncle or mother....my guess is mother :)

    :lol:

    My point is he doesn't have the inside game to keep Khan on the ropes and make him pay.

    Alvarez for his age is a good fighter, I think Kell would give him a tough time, but as I said Kell needs to beat some top comp at 147 first.

    I've thought Kell would beat him for years, he might struggle with Khan's speed initially but as Khan slows I think Kell would just pick him off with sharp & hurtful shots.

    Khan might win the 1st few rounds on workrate but his style isnt sustainable for 12. As he tires & gets sloppy then Kell takes over & wins on points.

    He wont hustle like Peterson did or slug like Maidana, most of the fight will be at distance with Kell landing the harder & more accurate shots.
