    I love a quote from Khan in the article "I've never ducked anybody"

    Brook?

    So let's get this straight, Khan is willing to fight Thurman, no belt on the line, far less money than a big domestic PPV fight with Brook, Khan has ruled out Brook completely but he is not ducking Brook?

    :lol: Khan is a joke.

    On the subject of Thurman Vs Khan, well if Algieri is buzzing you then Thurman who is a big strong welterweight who can dig should be avoided by brittle chin Khan at all costs.

    amir has said it ain't about the money and it ain't about the belts coz he has been a world champion. It's all about the names.
    It's only the kell brook fan boys who seem to think being a belt holder is big.
    It's funny kell brook is "champion" and he's begging khan for a fight

    We all know how corrupt the information is, they wouldn't even strip a drug cheat of his title even though he admitted to being juiced up

    Why where is Thurman going?

    If Khan is willing to fight Thurman for no belts, less money why not fight Brook in a huge domestic fight, it's far more high profile fight.

    Khan is blatantly ducking Brook now, it's not even really up for debate any longer.

    I could just about understand waiting incase he got Mayweather but not fighting Brook and fighting Thurman instead is a blatant duck and he should be ridiculed.

    1) Khan and Kell can lose their next 2-3 fights and the fight between them will still be there.

    2) It's not really a 'duck' if you're fight Thurman instead of Brook, is it? It's like jumping out of the frying pan (Brook) and into the fire (Thurman).

    i think its funny how Khan's delusional blinkered fans can't just accept Khan has lost his bottle when it comes to Brook. No longer a debate, it's a fact.

    It will never be bigger than right now, there is interest, Brook and Khan are not Pacquiao and Mayweather.

    I agree to a point, they are both very hard fights for Khan but Khan said he wants huge fights, legacy fights, his words not mine, what's bigger, Khan Vs Thurman or Khan Vs Brook?

    Khan looks a moron ruling out Brook and talking Thurman after the things he has said.

    Brook Vs Khan is a football stadium, maybe even as large as Froch Vs Groves, it's a huge PPV, it really is a no brainier.

    Khan changes his tune every time he speaks, he makes himself look foolish.

    He wont fight thurman or brook. If he doesnt get fmj he will fight another non puncher. If he really wanted floyd all needed was instead of fighting algieri he should have fought thurman or brook or bradley and he would jave imo got thenfight

    yes if he was to fight floyd and lose. If he fights thurman and gets ko'd the interest won't be the same and it's probably less likely because kells side would demand a better split too seen as he'd just lost...

    Brook has been half decent fighter in porter and all of a sudden he's top of the cream, brook is targeting rios who is washed up fighter but all brook fans will be dumb and think he's a still a top but in reality he's just a punch bag,

    Why is kell so desperate for khan?
    Pay day???
    why don't brook go for thurman? You can say the same thing about thurman who is fighting khans left overs and hes got the cheek of saying khan fights only 140 fighters?

    why not? he's taking on the only 147 fighter khans fought lol... is it a ****py match up, yes. Was it a ****py match up for khan, yes.

    It's clear that the fight benefits kell in a greater way, biggest payday, beats a world name & dislikes khan.. but it's the same for khan too... biggest payday & dislikes kell and would enhance his name/best welter in britain.....

    Porters a half decent fighter, who on khans resume is better? maidana? he already beat devon and paulie , the 2 next best guys on khans resume. You could argue kells one win is as good as khans one win over maidana....

    Amir khan has got a lot of money it definitely is not about the cash, lets kell is going to give amir biggest pay day Coz we all know that bull

    Maidana is better than any of brooks or thurman opponents. It fairly obvious khan is waiting on the mayweather fight which he has a good chance of getting.

    Brook for me Lost credibility by calling out khan and then goes and fight gavin and in the build up hes trying to say that gavin is a world class operator, gavin had just went life and death with skeete, it's obvious amir is going to make him wait for the fight so why go doesn't brook go and after Earl spence or fight Thurman? Brook knows if he loses he ain't getting the khan pay day so he is playing it safe by trying to get rios

    Lmao beating errol spence would do nothing for brook or thurman...

    khan knows if he loses he aint getting the mayweather fight so he played it safe with algieri......

    Theres no logic to anything amir does. Rios is a lightweight, remind me what weight did molina fight at... oh 135... algieri 140, never fought at 47.. Come on, it's clear for anyone to see that since the garcia loss (which he was supposed to win easily) he hasn't faced a single guy who can punch/smaller guys.

    end of the day you can say khans fought better guys but he's also been lead down an easier path, he lost and then a fight later got a title shot.. he's lost 3 fights and his best win is maidana 5 years ago.

    I don't blame amir for waiting on floyd but if you criticise brook for taking an easy fight you have to do the same for khan. How long is khan going to wait? What if he don't get it in sept and then says oh i might get it next may. The guys been chasing floyd for about 5 years now and putting everything on hold for floyd, take a note from guys like garcia and thurman who want the fight but don't go out of there way and not take fights so they can wait on floyd... heck look at maidana, a big win and he got the fight. Amir played it safe and doesn't deserve it, had he took on a brook/thurman/porter i'd say yeah he earnt it after beating one of those.
