    By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan says he heard that Kell Brook is thinking of vacating his IBF welterweight title to avoid fighting his mandatory challenger Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs), who the International Boxing Federation is saying that he needs to fight next. Khan says he doesn’t respect a fighter who vacates their titles […]

    But isn't Khan trying to make the Brook fight next?

    Sounds like he's doing the early groundwork for a duck...

    What value is there in Khan's respect?

    It's worth is no more than losing respect from Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi

    This coming from a fighter who won't commit to the wbc about being #1 challenger for Garcia/Thurman.

    Also in the same interview he gives his respect and plaudits to Canelo. Canelo the fighter who didn't take on his mandatory opponent GGG.

    Khan is a walking contradiction.

    Real deal. A true welterweight. Other true welters Thurman Brook are progressing at the rate of a snail.

    I rate Spence, I really do but what has been his toughest test? Algieri or Bundu?

    I think he would and will be a handful for anybody but I don't think the top men in the division will be avoiding him because he hasn't been in a real fight yet, Spence Jr is basically untested.

    I'd lose some respect for him if he decides to vacate, and ends up staying in the division afterwards. I mean, what the hell would be the point of that? Lol

    The only reason Brook is worth fighting is because of the IBF Title.
