Looks as tho khan has backed out of brook fight again due to pay split (fear)

    From what i hear he was unhappy at a 60/40 split in his favour as challenger.wanted 70/30.yet vargas is lined up immediately as negotiations stall and its a done deal.u couldnt write it.or in khans case its not even surprising

    Chicken Khan knows he'd get ko'd so for Brook he wants real pension fund money or no Deal.

    Khan knows Brook would beat him if not why not take the fight, he wants Brook to defend against Spence which is a 50/50 fight and if Brook loses then can say I dont want to face Brook now he has lost his last two fights, thought Khan was off to crack America been awhile hasnt it!!

    Nothing new. Khan has always been reluctant of fighting brook even before Brook became a champion and known in boxing. He knows he can't beat Brook, so he's holding out for "more money" that he clearly doesn't deserve. *****.

    Brook will give him a beating.

    Khan's faster and arguably more skilled but Brook is fast enough and will land on him as well.

    Brook's chin is cast iron whereas Amir's is peanut brittle. We all know how this ends.

    Big is naturally much bigger than Khan so he has a lot of advantage over him; strength, natural size, Ingle juice etc so of course he is chomping to fight Khan.

    His size will be a disadvantage as he will have to kill himself to make 147,even more so after packing on the muscle in his last fight to face ggg

    That fight will struggle to ignite the level of interest he thinks it will... Khan is generally disliked in Bolton but he's so far detached from reality he's totally unaware of this. Numbers in attendance may get boosted by tickets being given away but if he thinks he's gonna feel the love of his home fans by fighting at the Reebok, he's gonna be in for a shock, I suspect...

    I have to argue with this 'more skilled' tag Khan sometimes gets in relation to Brook (I know you're not talking this side up too much, though). Yeah, he's got flashy hands but they are thrown with little thought or appreciation for what's coming back or the specific challenge of who he's boxing: same moves, same combos whoever he's facing, which isn't my definition of skill. Yes, he's athletic but Brook times his punches way better and that takes ring IQ and generalship and timing punches is really THE skill of boxing when on the attack. Brook is levels above Khan in this respect.
