    Fight will never happen, why would Khan fight someone like Kelly? I'm sure he didn't sign with Hearn to be used as a step up for other fighters.

    Hearn would be stupid if he didn’t cash Khan and Brook out in a big fight

    I personally can’t see either fighter taking a risky fight incase they lose and ruin the chance of a multi million fight against each other

    I was in the belief that Kelly wouldn't be able to hurt Khan due to his power not being that impressive. Then I remembered Khan being hurt badly by Willie Limond :lol:.
    I still think Kelly's style will have major issues with elite speed. Reflexes have to be godly to pull that hands low style off successfully at world level imo. If it's lacking then an iron jaw and power is needed to succeed.

    And don't forget, he was also rocked to his core by an overhand right from.... Chris Algieri.:lol:

    :risas3: The amount of GLGE (good looking guy envy) in this thread is hilarious. J-Kell has drop dead gorgeous matinee idol good looks and he could spark you out cold with a single shot and steal your wife or your girlfriend from you in heartbeat. Deal with it and move on.

    And Kell took it for the payday. Buglioni got offered the pay day against Kovalev and refused it. Hearn didn’t force either of them in the ring. Eddie done what a promoter is supposed to do and get the money on the table and Kell chose the money, nobody forced him.

    I really like Kelly as a fighter and want to see him succeed but he is gonna get wrecked in spectacular fashion before he gets near world class opposition if he doesn't start paying attention to fundamentals. Right now he's a more gifted Proksa.
