    I honestly think it's a no-brainer for Khan...but Khan kind of has no brain.

    You get to fight in the UK and put on a massive event with a great promotion/rivalry.

    You get to make a LOT of money. Way more than against Floyd, since Khan would be the A-side here.

    You win a title.

    You build a convincing case for a Floyd fight. Or a Manny fight. Or whatever fight you want.

    The problem is risk-reward: Brook is a real welterweight who can punch and is technically sound, so Khan would stand a good chance of getting stopped and losing any chance he has at the Floyd/Manny fight. He's thinking it makes more sense to do nothing and hope for the big fight. I just think it's stupid because he'd stand almost no chance of winning and get paid less than he would with Brook.

    May
    PAC
    Brook
    Thurman
    Garcia rematch
    Bradley

    Basically anything khan does now is going to be a great fight

    Heck I'd even watch him beat up the special needs donkey broner

    Said it before - Khan has to knuckle down and win a title at the weight. Only then can he force the fight with Mayweather.

    If he doesn't get it before Mayweather retires, he has only himself to blame. Fighting Brook would be a great way of earning it.

    I don't think the fight will be as big as froch groves think the casuals can get in to the super middle weight fights easier than a welterweight one

    Agreed. And Brook is not popular in the UK, which limits the fight's appeal further.

    Yes, He should fight Brook or if that doesn't happen get Thurman. Winning either of those would get you a shot with the top dogs for sure, instead of calling out **** now.

    Maybe in Sheffield, but not further beyond. Khan was the golden boy of the Olympics and been in a string of exciting, world level fights. Brook simply has not had that level of exposure, not yet anyway.

    Anytime you lose to Bredis Prescott, nobody in the top 20 is "easy money" @ 147.

    Kell Brook just beat Shawn Porter, Khan beat who??

    You must suffer more than the suspected brain damage if you think Brook will be easy.
