    Brook, he's better than Khan, just not as fast.

    nothing wrong with what Khan said there,

    it was a bit much when he said 'maybe if I want an easy pay day', but hey this is boxing, Brook will get over it.

    Kell is fighting at WW and thats where u want to go Khan so stop talking **** you thick *******.......

    How can he say that he is not looking at Kell when he is moving up soon supposedly and it could be in the UK, thick ****.

    Yeah hes on the bigger stage right now, but saying his last 5 fights his opponents would have all beat Kell when they weigh at least 7 pounds less is crazy talk from a crazy ****.....

    People have got your number Amir im afraid.

    disagree, if he wants to move up, why not take on kell? what better way to prove yourself? if he made an easy fight of kell then he'd gain a lot of respect at the weight.

    I think Khan would win this pretty comfortably on points, I just reckon his flurrying would be enough to offset Brook from the outside. Saying that if Brook fought a tactically spot on fight he'd have a chance but I struggle to see him doing that.

    Either way I could imagine it being a rather scrappy, difficult to enjoy type of fight.

    yeah I wasn't thinking about the moving up, it slipped my mind because it wasn't mentioned in the vid, they just asked him about fighting Kell, for all I knew they could have been talking about Kell moving down or a catchweight, in which case my point stands.

    But yeah, if Khan moves up then he is ranked below Kell, so he should fight him, we all know that things don't happen that way though, as much as that is wrong, Khan is a bigger name than Kell so Khan was just being realisitc. Even though that is not a good thing to me so don't take my words the wrong way.

    I don't think he'd approach it like that.

    Khan has blurring hand speed & though it may make him one dimensional, it's also a considerable advantage. And when he uses it correctly vs. opponents, it can be very, very hard to adjust to. Quality inside fighters are going to cause Khan the most problems; Brook has not proven that he is one or that he even has much of an inside game.

    It'd certainly be an interesting fight. If Mr Brooks can get his jab working to any degree then Mr Khan would have some thinking & adapting to do in the ring, which isn't really his strong point. IF the jab does work and Brooks can use it get his own accurate hands going I don't see Khan's defences being able to keep him off in the championship rounds. I see a late stoppage for Brooks, but I'll happily admit that getting the jab working is a big "IF"

    :lol:

    Got to laugh at some of these posts, Kell beats Khan based on what???

    Please tell me...

    Kell needs to fight someone who punches back, put it this way he has talent but is too untested to tell us how good he really is.

    I was talking about Brook. No point really discussing it with you though, it's clear your Brook nuthuggery will deny Khan has any chance in it even though he's operated at a much higher level.

    Technically he's right. If Kell fought Amir's last 5 opponents at the weight Amir fought them at then he'd lose. If only because he'd had to chop off his left arm to make the weight.

    Khan doesn't half talk **** most of the time.

    How does Khan win this fight ?

    He will try and use his speed for 4 rounds and then what ?

    Khan spends too much time trying to please viewers and make out hes some kind of warrior.

    If Brook could hand pick a opponent then Khan would be it ..

    After 4 rounds Brook would have found his timing against Khan's flurries and his jab would start to stop Khan in his tracks .. once that starts to happen im just not sure what Khan could do for the rest of the fight.

    He would probably start to trade with Brook and will get picked off at will in the later rounds and probably get stopped by round 10.

    Its a little too early to tell .. but i reckon by the time this fight is plausible .. Brook will have answered a lot of questions about good he really is.

    If Brook presses Khan back it's hard to see Khan doing well under pressure against a accurate puncher. I think Brook just needs improve his defence,inside game and create more angles with his feet. Side step here and there would help him IMO..
