    If they ever fight though you could describe Kell Brook as 'the one who won by knock out in 3 rounds'

    Facing Spence is almost pretty much like facing GGG or Canelo. Khan is pretty much asking Brook to walk thru a buzzsaw, again. Khan, face him yourself! If Khan-Brook ain't happening then Khan-Spence 2017. Khan knows the Brook fight would sell regardless, just wants a beast like Spence to soften Brook up for him even more. Face Spence yourself, hypocrite!

    Porter should be khans tune up as many here think he is overrated
    So it should not be a problem
    Known name top ranked we should be a formality right

    "He has been protecting Brook all his career"

    Golovkin at 160lb, If that is protecting Brook then I would hate to see what would happen if Hearn didn't protect him.


    The likely issue will be if Spence Jr comes to the UK and also for a mandatory %, they owe Spence Jr nothing except a title shot. I want to see this fight, it looks to me like a seriously good fight but we will see if Spence Jr is willing to travel.

    So from that interview can you please explain how you missed the bit when hearn said that he wants kell to fight at 154 but kell replied I wasn't afraid to fight GGG so why would I avoid Errol Spence.

    Seriously dude, go back and watch the interview as you clearly didn't understand what hearn said. He told Phelps clearly that brook has said he will not vacate if he doesn't get the khan fight.

    thats right but hearn is kell's boss. risk/reward too much for hearn. the longer this goes on the worse it is for brook. he isn't a 147lber he is a 154lber. with spence brook may not be the problem.

    More like Brook needs a tune up before he fights Spence. Khan is a perfect candidate. Khan knows he is nothing more than a punching bag for the elite level boxers to bash on.
