    Amir Khan the LightWelterweight. When theres a nice tasty list of legitimate Welterweights out there?

    Infact there seems to be a thing at the moment where people are calling out people from other divisions while there is still quality to face in the division they are in.

    Kel Brook has just beaten Matthew Hatton not Floyd Mayweather, he should be calling out other Welters right now and climbing up that ladder.

    Any fighter within the 135-147 region can call out Khan and Khan has to fight all of the people that call him out otherwise he is a world class ducker!!!

    Its a Great UK fight, a massive fight and mark my words khans body can't hold out at 140 for much longer. Its hardly a big ask.

    Being british its a huge fight, and one that I would love to see.

    I can't see what your issue is with it. Being in the Top P4P band means you should be able to compete at least 1 weight above your normal weight, so what's your issue?

    Because Eddie Hearn and his fighters love living off Khan's name. After winning, the first thing they mention is him and imply that he's ducking. Despite the fact that Khan hasn't even had the chance to step into welterweight yet.

    But it's a big domestic fight, and I hope it happens soon.

    I suppose as a fight its ok but if I were Kell Brook right now id be calling out the Welters ranked higher than me, i would be open to a fight with Khan but he would not be number 1 on my list.

    I totally accept what somebody said, Khan would of stepped up a weight had he beaten Peterson and that the move up is inevitable but right now hes preparing for a fight at 140 thats a couple of months away yet.

    Maybe im too old school from the days where people wanted to dominate the division they are in before they started moving up or down in weight or calling out others that are not directly on the path they are trying to follow right now.

    This is far from a personal dig at Brook, its happening all over the place.

    It would be a big fight in Britain. I would prefer to see Brook beat an Ortiz, Berto or Bradley first though - that would make it huge.

    Because it's a big money fight and the only 2 guys at Welterweight who would generate more revenue are Pacquiao and Mayweather.

    I think it's a good fight too. The main weakness I see in Brook's game is his lack of head movement but with Khan's hand speed it can cause issues.
