    In my mind they currently feel irrelevant and invisible. I think they need each other. Mayweathers retired so Khan has to let that go. Pac must be nearing retirement if he can't get the Mayweather fight. Time for Khan and co to build their own names - Broner, Brook etc.

    It will happen, Khan didn't get Mayweather, he isn't going to get Pacquiao, so there is no hold up. I don't even look at it as a big fight, but the both of them will sure earn more money facing one another then against other harder opponents.

    Both Floyd and now Pacquaio have now ducked Khan, don't tell me Berto and Bradley were or are bigger money fights, fact is Khan is a bad match up and they both avoided him..

    Real talk..

    i'm fairly new to this forum and have read a lot of negative comments regarding the inactivity of Kell Brook, am I missing something here or has he not had a lot of serious injuries including almost dying in a machete attack ?? Has he not fought when fit ?

    I back Brook and defended the easy fight after the stabbing - needed to get his confidence back and had no problem earning real money at last but I am losing patience now

    He won the belt in Aug 2014 and defended against Dan in March. Has had nine months for big fights and likely to be Bizier next. May be a mandatory but other champions manage the big fights. Too many excuses

    Darni, nobody has ducked Khan, Khan has a real talent for talking his way out of fights, I have no idea how he does it.

    Also he has not fought a top 10 fighter at any weight since Danny Garcia, 4 years ago. So Khan has become irrelevant, nobody really cares, do not misunderstand me, Brook is becoming just as irrelevant with Dan, Gavin and talk of Bizier.

    Khan does not deserve a huge payday and neither does Brook.

    You only need to look at the facts, one is obviously the much bigger name and the other is a world champion. However, it's rather clear that both of these fighters are as bad as eachother when it comes to fighting poor quality opposition.

    I think it's fair to say that Floyd much preferred the idea of a rematch with Medina than taking Khan, a fight he knew he could win at distance if he wanted, rather than a potentially very bloody battle with Khan.
