    Would have been huge 5 years ago, buts its still a big fight between 2 local rivals.

    I mean, the winner, should they so wish, could STILL get a title fight.

    I'll watch it for the spectacle but obviously its not a particularly relevant fight in terms of the winner being on a path to anything anymore. Should be fun though.

    Man 5 years or so ago I think Brook would have snapped Khan in half but right now he's probably going to lose. Ya never know though. Some guys can get their form back for a last hurrah, and Khan does have that eggshell chin, so ...

    The closer the fight gets. The more I want it.

    Can't wait for Kell to spark Khan TFO so they both can retire.

    Fight should have happened years and years ago....however I feel like they are both similarly shot and they obviously do not like each other in the slightest, so I actually think it will be kinda entertaining.

    No way in hell am I gonna pay for it though.

    I think it's a good big sideshow.

    They're going to start fast in the few couple rounds, but their old age will slow them down and may turn into a war of attrition.

    They may actually start respecting each other after the fight.

    To little to late for me to get excited about it now. Would have been a stadium filling all Brit barnstormer 5+ years ago. Real damn bloody shame it never happened in their primes.

    I certainly won't be buying the PPP (Pay Per Pantomime) for this one.

    British domestic level dust ups are the envy of the world and even ones between shot Brit Level warriors are PPV worthy

    Do i still care? Not really, as others mentioned it would have been good years ago.

    However will i watch the fight, likely yes, 2 fighters in twilight of their careers but not completely over the hill, fighting for bragging rights yeah i will sit back and view it.

    I have massive, massive respect for Kell. So for that reason alone, I will be watching, and shouting loudly for him.
