    Khan of course will be very well respected in the pro ranks.

    Unfortunately he has this glass chin reputation which people just recite continuously. Garcia floored him and he still got up and traded with him.

    Yea I'd agree with that. His speed got him out of trouble against Algeiri.

    I wouldn't necessarily say Khan is a very skilled boxer or anything I just think his hand speed and combinations usually is enough to get him through and would have been against Garcia if he didn't get caught.

    Khan's latest three fights:
    Canelo - Algieri - Alexander

    Kelly Brook's latest three fights:
    Donut - Gaviscon - Showbiz

    This forum's opinion:
    They like Kell Brook more.


    Smh.

    Broner has Khan winning
    Vanes Martirosyan: "My boy Khan is going to box Canelo's ears off"

    Is this like some inside joke where they are just taking the mic out of Khan or what? we must dig deeper.

    Not sure if you've noticed it or not but Roach isn't the brightest bulb in the batch when it comes to predicting fight outcomes.

    Shake your head all you want, Porter KO's Khan easily, and Brook KO's Alexander, Collazo and maybe even Algieri.
