    Anyone who says its a 50/50 fight needs to take their sandals off and come back to reality.

    I just don't see khan willing to take the risk. Losing to brook is just to much for him to take.

    Although if khan doesn't want the brook fight I do wonder which route al haymon is gonna take him?

    Who do people expect khan to fight next?

    Robert Guerrero or berto??

    Very little to no chance. Khan knows full well brook KO's him that's why he took the Canelo fight, I know Canelo was a far more dangerous fight on paper but Khan got a HUGE pay day for it plus Amir and Kell hate each other so Khan doesn't want Brook's career to take at his expense.

    In an age of 4 or 5 world champions in every weight class and a different weight class every few pounds.
    Taking everything into consideration of Khans pro career...including the short reign as world champ a good few years ago now, the getting knocked down or knocked out countless times, the constant cherrypicking of feather fisted guys and past it names, tthe inactivity, the ducking of Brook, etc etc etc... And I conclude that Khan has had nothing much to shout about as a pro... he's like on the same level as a Junior Witter and Nathan Cleverly... but at least they had chins. Most of the current of UK world champions.. even the likes of Crolla, Flanagan and Selby.. will likely have more successful careers than Khan.

    that means khan has overachieved as a boxer already. whatever it is all im saying is against brook i think it's a 50/50 fight. khan got passed maidana with the same chin, it's all a question of how khan fights.

    on the other hand brook is very untested. even his power is untested. he's been koing cab drivers. i didn't see him drop shawn porter but adrein broner did. so taking all this into consideration i feel it's 50/50. since the canelo ko is fresh people will favor brook more, had he fought brook after alexander it would be the other way

    The brook fight will still happen imo.
    Everyman and his dog picked alverez to k.o khan rds 7-9 it was a cert.
    The usual patter will be given regarding khans k.o.
    alverez was too big etc

    I don't think Khan wants to risk defeat to Brook.

    I think Khan can accept getting beaten by the likes of Garcia or Canelo last night but if he fought Brook and it all went wrong then I don't think he could live with Brook gloating forever.

    Khan can accepted not being the best in the world but he won't accept not being the best in Britain.

    I think that's why he took Canelo, it was a massive risk, a risk to his health as we saw last night, he took it for the money so he didn't have to risk a Brook fight for one last big payday.

    Not convinced it will. Khan doesn't need the fight.

    It might. Mayweather and Pacquiao aren't happening now for Khan so he'll be looking for one last big cash out. Wembley stadium against Brook ??

    Why not ??

    Khan knows he'll lose but he also must of known he had little to no chance against Canelo but he took it anyway.

    Khan was happy to pose smiling on twitter after losing last night. He knows if he lost to Brook he'd have to come off twitter and that would break his heart.

    Is the fight big enough to sell out Wembley? I know Brook has a fairly big following up in Sheffield, but no one seems to give a toss about Kahn. Did his last fight over here even sell out?

    I see the fight at 60-40 in khans favour. Boxed at a higher level, whereas brook is untested. Going life and death with Carson Jones raises questions
