Khan is gonna be remembered for ducking Brook

People who are saying brook isnt on the same level as khan ATM dont know what their talking about and are just living in the past.

YES! Khan was levels above brook before about 3 years ago.
But how in gods name is khan not seen as being on the same level as brook atm, if not lower?

Brook is mandatory for a title and khan on the other hand is trying to use hes past success to secure him a payday in a division his never fought in?
Also talking about levels, wasn't it Khan who got rejected by Senchenko (who brook just beat)? Yeah that really does show khan is levels above brook.

FACT IS.. Is that too many people on here who are saying khan is levels above brook are saying it cause of his past achievements, when he isn't at the moment. Their on the same level if not brook is on a higher level than khan.

For example, thats like me saying Thurman is on a much lower level to someone like Andre Berto all because Berto has had sucesses in the past? When in hindsight that isnt the case..
So all that bullcrap im reading about levels between khan and brook is utter rubbish.

 

You never know which Khan will step into the ring................

 

Leaving aside completely cretinous comments, I think a lot of people think about the whole thing as 'fans' a little too much. Khan isn't a 'fan' of boxing or even himself - he is a professional boxer trying to make as much money as humanly possible.

Khan manages himself and is trying to make the richest fight in sport for himself - a fight with Mayweather. This isn't 'ducking' anyone or anything. Nor does he give a t0ss about weight divisions or KO this or that... he wants to make 12 million bucks from a single fight.

Kell Brook? Not really known outside of the UK where he is known in his local town only and by boxing fans (and some fight fans) outside of the midlands or wherever he comes from. It's a fight that may bag Khan a tenth of the Mayweather fight.

The point is, it is a business. Some of you seem a little like fangirls to me. Do you not think it kind of blinds you to the blatant business aspects of being a professional fighter slightly? You probably think the 11 foreign footballers that play for your 'club' genuinely give a rats ass about Liverpool or Manchester City or whatever.

 

At least he has a past to live off, Brook aint got ****

 

Brook ain't got ****?
Mate brook is mandatory for an IBF welterweight title.
Not no interim or regular belt.

And why does brook need to live off anything when he knows hes been doing the right things to get a title shot.

 

Khan was pushed a lot quicker than Kell though when he had no right to be,getting floored by Willie Limmond and Steffi Bull then gets sparked by Prescott in one round and never fights him again.

I guarantee you if Khan had of fought Prescott again he'd be running a corner shop in Bolton right now.

He was very carefully matched and also given a few lucky breaks (Maidana) thats why he is where he is right now and don't ever forget that Billy boy.

 

He prob won't much in the same way Hatton isn't for not fighting junior witter. Fact is regardless what you think of Khan he does chase down the big fights and doesn't really duck anyone. His last fight as a rebuilding exercise aside he has been willing to get in there with anyone.

 

Brook needs the right of passage fight to the elite level, by that you need to beat Malignaggi convincingly, you have to be more than good to beat him. To be honest this fight should of happened a long time ago for Brook. I guess Brook has also been hoping that Kahn could be the fight for him.

The other problem with Brook is he's injury prone, you just can't tell if whos ducking who between kell brook and big opponents or if it's nether.

That said Devon Alexander probably wished the Brook fight happened now after the mauling he took from Porter.

 

i will laugh like fu ck when khan does not get the may fight wonder what his excuse will be at such a long lay off or the ducking of alexander , at least his name as been in a few sentences right next to mayweathers or khan standing next to the mayweathers card board cut out :rofl , anyone seen mays tweet about khan yet no response :think ,
khananory tells us another story

 

Carefully matched?

He's fought Peterson, Maidana, Malignaggi, Judah & Garcia. He had beaten both Maidana and Malignaggi whilst only being 23 years old.

Peterson - One of the big names at 140. Many are of the opinion Khan won that fight, I'm one of them. He put him down twice, he was unlucky with the point deductions plus there was the goings on with the random guy interfering with the judges. Then Peterson tested positive for PED's after the fight.

Maidana - Dropped him with a body shot, survived a big scare and won on points. Maidana has just kicked "boxing's next big stars" arse.

Malignaggi - Had only lost to Cotto and Hatton before Khan (yeah Diaz got the nod over him in the first fight, but that decision was awful), has only lost once since - a disputed decision to Broner.

Judah - Khan beat him up and stopped him. He was coming off the back of a disputed win over Matthysse and then he beat Vernon Paris straight after his fight with Khan, Paris was another one being hyped up as someone who was going to do big things. Since then he's took Danny Garcia the distance giving him a tough fight.

Garcia - Everyone thought that even though Garcia was dangerous, Khan would get the job done. Since the Khan fight, Garcia has gone on to rule 140 most recently with a great win over Matthysse.

Really don't think you can say Khan has been carefully matched whatsoever.

 

If Khan fights Mayweather first & loses theres still a ppv fight with Brook for him.

If he fights Brook first & loses there's no Mayweather ppv fight for him.

It's pretty simple what he's doing, he's just passing time until he can get the massive pay day against Floyd & to be honest you can't blame him.

It's a similar situation to Bradley waiting on the Pacquaio fight.

 

Former olympians always get opportunities/exposure that other pros don't receive. Think Luke Campbell headlining his own show after his first bout, and Audley's deal with the BBC.

Never happened. Try harder Jslow.

Why would he be running a corner shop? What would've happened to all the money he made prior to fighting Prescott? And even if his career would've been over - (which isn't necessarily true, but i'll humour you) - why couldn't he made a lvving through some other means like punditry? Sure he's stupid, but that hasn't stopped Sky from using him in this capacity in the past. Is it that you felt like being a racist cretin?

The run from Kotelnik to Peterson was as good as British boxer has faced in recent times other then Froch's extraordinary run of opponents. Even Julio Diaz is better then anything Brook has faced, including Senchenko. Shawn Porter can count himself very fortunate not to have a loss on his record to the same man dismissed as a 'bum' by the op who is clearly trolling.

He is where he is because he is a former unified WBA/IBF champion, and a former olympic silver medalist. Try harder Jslow.

 

Brook needs to make himself relevant in order to get the Big Fights like Khan etc.

I personally believe Brook will do a number on Khan but Khan has operated on a higher level and doesn't have to do any favours for any fighter who poses a high risk with little reward -just like Froch. Groves earnt his chance via ranking and now we've seen him perform and prove that he deserves to be considered. If Brook gets a belt then the fight will be massively hyped.

 

I dont think he has done things right though, he has fought some poor fighters. He will be 28 years old in May, he needs to get a f*cking move on

 

First it was John Murray now its Brook. When Brook steps up he will get found out, he isn't good enough.
