Would Brook beat Khan in your opinion ?

If they do fight ?

I think Khan would start fast and win the opening rounds, Brook would struggle to cope with the speed of Khan
however by the middle rounds Kell Brook's power will be the difference between the two fighters
and would win by KO around 8th or 9th round.
I dout khan goes near kell brook yet he's just been beaten and doesn't seem right, I fink it be a very exciting fight that wouldn't go the full 12

ortiz

i said as much after watching ortiz vs lopez

kell should go for him.

he's damaged goods and beatable,
but he still sells over there and would be the ideal way to build a profile in the states and make a name.
then at least he can try and draw devon alexander to a US venue somewhere other than his hometown.

Common sense says go for Alexander and try like hell to get it made over here with a big purse bid (which might be possible if Sky want to get behind Matchroom the way they claim and if Brook can genuinely sell out a very big arena or even a small stadium). I'd have Brook slight favourite in that fight because Alexander, whilst clearly a canny operator, seems scared of being hit to me. If its made in America - well, the chances are that he would get away with doing very little.

Malignaggi would not be a bad shout, and they could possibly sell it to Paulie on the basis of a chance to convince Britain that he is ready for a Hatton rematch, but I suspect that he will probably look in other directions because Kell won't be a massive earner for him and the last thing Malignaggi wants is someone quicker than him!

Marcos Maidana .

His biggest test in the division, has fought at a very good level, has links to both Khan & Alexander and is most certainly a very winnable fight for Kell.

Win.

Paulie travels and doesnt have a ko punch, an ideal opponent for Kell Brook in my opinion. Also he has lost to both Khan and Hatton and if Brook beats him well then its only adds to the purse for a battle of Britain.
Eddie is obviously working his ticket with the IBF (Froch’s trinket too) looking to get the mandatory with Alexander. I actually don’t think Kell is ready for Devon, another year possibly.

Ortiz is a good call, the guys rarely in a boring fight as well. Or possibly see if peterson can move up just to annoy khan.

Would love to see Brook - Ortiz...The Khan fight is a non-starter for the foreseeable

brook has the speed and talent to compete with alexander, maybe even win. let's hope we find out, as he's won two eliminator fights for the IBF title. and then defend v maidana, the rugged type of opponent that gives brook problems, creates exciting matchups and gets good ratings.
