    What the hell, won't face Brook but will fight BJS for what will be substantially less money.

    Very bizarre.

    Frank Warren on IFL last night said he's announcing Saunders next fight soon and he's close to agreeing terms with the fighter. I have a terrible feeling we might see it.

    If it's at 160 and the belt is on the line you can't blame Khan for being an opportunist. We all know though that he is just ducking Brook and is hell bent on not fighting him.

    Another freak-show of a fight. Too many of them lately.

    I’m just glad that Saunders is staying active. With Canelo-GGG having a rematch he needs to stay busy. I’m amazed Khan would take this fight though, he’ll get knocked out big time.

    BJS is not exactly a knockout artist, if by some miracle Khan can turn the clock back and put in a decent performance he could win on points!

    Saunders dropped Andy Lee who is a huge Middleweight with a check-jab. Saunders is also one of the most accurate punchers in Britain. You can bet your ass that Saunders will land at some stage and it's lights out for Khan. I don't think there is a single ranked Middleweight in the world who would fail to knockout Khan.

    Why would anyone duck Brook.He's not as powerful as people make it out,he didnt once stun Spence,his eyes are made out of glass,just as Khan's Defence.It's now a cash out fight,just like Haye v Bellew,both past their peak,Both poor welterweights,no title at stake.It dosent do anything for Brook if he beats khan,if khan beats brook,it wont do anything for him aswell,he beat Spence's leftovers.Both are wasted potentials,it should have happened after Brook beat Porter,or After Golvokin.

    I think it’s a myth that BJS doesn’t hit hard. He’s not on a Jacobs level for power granted but he can and has put a few middleweights on their backsides. He would spark Khan clean out, there is no doubt. Khan is fast but so is BJS and eventually he would time him.

    On the plus side if it does happen it'll be the final nail in the coffin for Khan. Will call it quits after that IMO

    December is pantomime season.

    Bellew-Haye 2 is Eddie's first seasonal offering.
    I have a feeling Frank will offer this BJS-Khan as his main play.

    The season continues through January though. So we'll see what other joke fights they come up with.
    Katie Taylor versus Katie Price ?
    David Price versus Katie Price ?
    Ferdinand versus Flintoff ???

    Lmao.

    In to see David Price v Katie Price with young Harvey Price judging. Proper 50/50 scrap at this stage.
