I never said it wasn't realistic, I said this is what I thought would happen weeks ago. Just because it's realistic doesn't mean it's any less cynical. Khan is a fight that offers Brook nothing at this stage of his career except cash, will they come out and say that? No, they'd build the fight off the back of Khan's one shite performance at the weight and tell us how great a fight it is when it's anything but.

I'd always watch a Khan fight; though he is an arse sometimes he is always entertaining, win or lose. I'd watch it and I reckon it'd be a good scrap; I'd like Brook to box Devon first though the time frame is looking bad as I imagine Floyd will bash Amir and then he's nowhere to go (exept live a life of paradise).

Kell would be better off fighting Alexander though for a world title because win or lose it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Khan will lose to Mayweather so they could fight each other then and it will still sell.

Can't disagree with that. Khan's next big fight is his last as it will end in a KO loss, again.

I suppose this is fair enough.
That is probably 70% of the general population and 90% of the professional sporting population or any profession.
dont understand the hate on here for brook. hes a good guy ,unbeaten, not reached his peak yet, and won his last three by ko. all this shite about broner beating him makes me laugh. who has broner beaten at lww or welterweight? brook has just destroyed a decent fighter, not the worlds best, but a decent big welterweight. i wouldnt fancy his chances against bradley or pac , but the rest would be winnable for him now. and he obviously has power, so that gives him more reason to be feared. khan wouldnt go near him, despite all the talk,
well done kell brook.

Broner has beaten the man that dominated Senchenko to take his title. A far better win than Brook has.

Khan would fight Brook and he'd probably beat him.

Brook was a big favourite to win this.
Gavin would beat Senchenko.
well i probably haven't posted for two yrs but that takes the biscuit!

he has been fighting for 9 years now and still not reached his peak, who were his last 3, none were world class, he would have problems with all the top 15

I'd give him a realistic chance of beating Senchenko, but he would never win like Brook did.

There is no one outside of Mayweather who wouldn't have some problem with a boxer in the top 15; they are all very skilled and capable boxers. Brook is showing he belongs up near the top men; he needs to box a bone fide top 10 man or get a shot at a champ, he won't be out of his depth and shown up who he boxes and will put a good show if he loses. He has a good punch and needs to keep active, I hope he does the business away from home to prove his temperament.
he has to fight a topten in his next fight, eddie has been saying he will step up for the last 10 fights and still has not fought anyone of world class yet, he really needs to step up, eddie was saying last time out that he had a big fight and he come up with this
Then it's good for us; he dealt with Senchenko well and will go into the next bout with confidence, he looked better v the best man he's faced than against some others; complacency can be deadly to a sportsman and if he faces someone he's afraid of he may do really well' I imagine the very top men are a step too far but he will be firing hard shots so anything is possible.
Cheers, I didn't see it and just glanced at the boxrec scorecard, I reckon Judah is in for a tough night.
