A real shame though as it's the fight Britain needs. Khan is scared as he knows Kell has the power to send him to sleep.
How could they have even fought yet lol? The earliest it could have ever happened was in summer of 2015... The only delay in it happening is if Floyd chooses to fight Khan in May 2015.
Khan said Kell had not title so he wont fight him Kell wins title Khan says he has not beaten any big names so he has no reason to fight Kell. You really think Khan will fight Kell?:hey
Khan already had the better of him in amatuer sparring...he ain't worried. Nobody worries Khan & Brook clearly wants it. It's all about who deserves what, timing & opportunity. If Floyd runs to the hills then it will very likely be Brook Khan in summer 2015. Intill Brook beat Porter wtf had he done at WW? a division he has campaigned at for his whole career....and you question why Khan isn't high on Brook.
He said he wants to fight Kell now that he won a world title but only after he gets the shot at mayweather and pacquiao which are the biggest fights for him. No disrespect to Kell but his resume is shocking, he only has porter on his name, if anybody needs to prove themself its Kell. Mayweather has 2 fights left, its now or never for Khan, pacquiao is also old and only has a few fights left so its understandable for Khan to want the biggest fights. If kell wasn't out all night at some randoms house party drinking all night he wouldn't have got stabbed and he would have fought Khan in December if he wanted to. I dont think he has the discipline to stay at the top level.
This fight has been talked about since 2010. I'm sure it happens eventually but probably not for another couple years after each of them have less assets and facing each other maximizes profits. He shouldn't be scared of Brook. If you listen to Khan's own words, he's the best and fastest boxer in the world and has never been out-boxed in his life (other than that one time he got knocked out, that one time he lost a decision, and that other time he got knocked out).
Brook holds the belt and is still shamelessly begging Khan for a fight! Brook hasn't done enough to earn a shot at Khan. Brook has only ONE world level fight on his resume. He knows that the next world level fight he may not be lucky to squeeze out a win so he would rather cash out against Khan.
Dont be daft! Of course he is scared. He is after the best for the money. With Kell he knows he has all to lose and is scared of his power. So Khan is going to sidetrack Kell and say he want Mayweather has his excuse. The point is if Khan does NOT get Mayweather in May he should fight Kell. There is no EXCUSE! give the British public the fight they want ans stop kissing the American $$$$
In fairness to Brook, a fight with Khan is probably the third most lucrative out there for him so naturally he should aim for that. In terms of legacy, he should be less interested in Khan than he should multiple other fighters at WW. However, as they say, legacy don't pay the bills.
Agreed, it is the most lucrative fight for both with exception of fighting against Manny or Mayweather. From Khan's point of view why would he go for Brook when he could possibly make history by beating Mayweather. Brook fight is there for him even if he loses.
