Fighters know deep down, brook is desperate for the fight, Khan doesn't want to know, we know Khan loves the money more than most could be a career high pay day v brook at Wembley, says brook is easy ok but won't take the fight. We know now that Khan can't k.o brook and does anyone not fancy brook nailing Khan just once over 12 rounds..... Timing beats speed.
Khan has the speed advantage against every fighter he will ever face. Unfortunately thats the only advantage he would have over Brook. Brook is superior in every other category.
People keep giving him credit for this... This content is protected But largely ignore his fundamentals problem seen here... This content is protected People believing that he would outbox a master boxer are not watching anything but a bunch of soft tapping that has gotten Khan put down too many times.
If Amir Khan had the chin of Ruslan Provodnikov and the Mental toughness of Juan Manuel Marquez. The dude would be Sensational. Sadly.. that is not the case.
People think that just because Khan is fast, he's a master boxer. They confuse speed for technical skills. If you look closer, you'll see that Khan has poor fundamentals. I can't believe people think that Khan beating Alexander is proof that he could/would beat Floyd. Floyd is on another PLANET from Alexander.
Khan just isn't tough enough. He might be able to scam a couple more good paydays though. All the power to him.
So you're picking Brook simply because he went toe to toe with an over-hyped Golovkin and didn't hit the deck?. Brook doesn't have the style to beat Khan either. Khan's bane is overly aggressive styles and Brook isn't exactly that. Brook is a boxer puncher who tends to wait. Khan's style and speed could prove to be problematic for Brook.
I've always said this, and the Brook-GGG fight proved it beyond a reasonable doubt. Brook wins by KO1, I've always seen Brook-Khan going like this, Khan jumps in with his first flurry, Brook tags him right on the button with a sharp counter straight right, Khan is unconscious, fight waved off.
Yes, that's true and it's exactly what Garcia did and did so blindly due to Khan's predictability. Still though, I don't see it being an easy affair for Brook. Brook tends to wait far too much and that style will always be left troubled and confused against Khan's speed. Early on, I expect Brook to take a pummeling but it's the later rounds(rounds 6 and beyond) where Brook has a chance to take over as Khan slows down. It's still a very interesting fight. Hope it happens.
Khan's technical skill is overrated AF, he's good at 1-2's, fast feet but he doesn't seem all that cerebral in the ring. Very basic really, just fast.
His athleticism and speed from the start will cause most problems for a few rounds, like having a swarm of flies pitter patter you in the face for a few rounds.. lol If a fighter is patient and stays composed through the first few it's pretty easy for a fighter with a good ring iq/ timing to take khan out imo.. once he stops running.

Khan would get emotional vs Brook and leave himself wide open from the first round. Honestly think Brook would time khan very early and tag him with powerful shots putting him down. Kell wins the fight inside 6 rounds
