    Last week he said, he had no interest in fighting Khan this year, and that hes looking for bigger fights.

    Then after the fight, hes calling out Khan.

    What changed??

    Because now he's convinced he can KO The Glass Jawed One after stopping usually resilient Dan with ease.

    He knows Khan cannot afford to fight him. Khan likes to think he's the best British WW and he knows some of his fans will think like that as well until he steps foot in the ring with Brook. That delusion is too sweet to let go I imagine.

    That was all for the press, TV in the UK and America.

    If you see the press conference afterwards, Eddie confirms that they decided 4 weeks ago that the Khan fight was unlikely to happen.

    They have already looked at other fighters.

    Brook calling Khan out was to make sure that everybody watching knew that it was Khan who was stopping the fight happen.

    Same nonsense over and over.

    Fight doesnt happen immediately, the unpopular guy is ducking.
    When the fight is eventually announced, everyone says the unpopular guy is getting "carried out on a stretcher"
    Then the fight happens and the unpopular guy wins.

    Then they forget how dumb they sounded and find someone else to call a ducker.

    He is ducking in fairness I have sympathy for him because he's been through the gauntlet and brooks just fought a rake of cans but he is ducking it's a big world title fight you have To take them

    Khan just wants the winner of Mayweather and Pacquiao and doesn't want to take a huge risk to jeopardize that match-up from happening. which is why he's not willing to fight Kel Brook. In Khan's eye, Kel is too big of a risk.

    tempting!

    brook didn't say he had no interest in fighting khan, but conceded it was unlikely. there's been needle between these 2 for years, and there's no better option for either right now.

    Khan already said he won't fight Brook because "Brook is disrespectful". That's the closest you can have a boxer admit he's ducking. So in this case it's not really an accusation but simply stating the obvious.

    ****, I really want to see Khan/Brook. It's such an awesome fight. Khan is so much more cautious now.
