depends really how good is kell going to look coming back down to welterweight, hows Khan going to be after his ko and hand surgery than you factor performances if khan can fight as or more disciplined as in the Alexander fight. my head says Brook by ko with khan ahead on points but its a real close fight I think

I think the way Brook took some good shots off GGG will give him the confidence to be even more aggressive than he would have been against Amir. Khan wins the first few rounds with his speed but Brook's timing, accuracy and power tells in the mid rounds. Brook KO7.

One of them is abroad in a training camp, the other is abroad doing charity dinners for his foundation.
The "eye of the tiger" wins every time.

Khan isn't very savvy....certainly no more than Brook

Speed doesn't equal skill or ring IQ

I'd be surprised if that happenend.

Amir Khan is not a great puncher: he's insanely quick & he thinks he's more powerful than he actually is, but he does not have that bone crunching power that Golovkin has.

Savvy isn't a word I'd use to describe Amir Keith. Definitely has the speed to cause Kell problems but Brook has very good accuracy and power. I think Khans only hope would be to frustrate Brook and tie him up but Brook is probably the stronger of the two. The fights lost some of its appeal but I'd still like to see it.

I agree. Khan has a chance at 147.

Brook by KO, probably having to come from behind due to Khan's faster feet.

Khan will try to be faster than he really is, burning up too much energy, fading and getting brutally blasted out.

Brook will plod a bit, especially early, as he does fight flat footed and will be tight at 147.

Khan is extremely fast, but much slower fighters have timed and beaten him. Overall I think Brook has a more complete package, which includes very good accuracy, and I x4 on him stopping Khan.

Of course he will, he always would. That's why Brook always wanted the fight. Brook has avoided genuine challenges at welterweight while he's waited out a fight with Khan. Don't let his pointless excursion to middleweight distract you, his career has been about a pay day with Khan. He stagnated at WW fighting nobodies when he could have been fighting the top welterweights and he didn't.

Some truth but let's not forget a) he's injury prone and b) the IBF had some rubbish mandatories. That's led to a long and frustrating time. Also, when you beat a Haymon fighter like Brook did with Porter they don't seem to want you back. It's a mixture of factors but I agreed about the "pointless excursion to middleweight", bad choice of fight, appalling strategy of waiting for Golovkin to come to him, then fighting in the last 45 seconds of rounds when Golovkin's tired but Brook already accumulating damage, wrong attitude ("hey, I'm the bigger man").

Damn shame he was injured for the Argentinian Diego Chaves and not for, say, Frankie Gavin admittedly. And damn shame the Golovkin fight prevented a genuine 147 fight, Jessie Vargas, instead of a pointless one, like, say, the Canadian (I was at the fight and so forgettable was he I've forgotten his name) or Yonut from Romania.

Khan is extrordinarily fast, p4p as quick as anyone in the game right now, in terms of pure hand speed
The fact that good boxers have been able to time him and Brook might very well be able to do the same does not detract from that fact

It's like saying because Tyson Fury made him miss a lot Wlad doesn't hit as hard as he thinks
