WHO WINS? Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook

[mickey1975]

Amir khan would be too fast for kell,he would give kell a boxing lesson. Should have the fight at the reebok stadium it would probably sell that out but not wembley or cardiff

He’s never given anyone a boxing lesson. He outspeeds them all.

Ok he will out speed kell and kell will be chasing shadows,similar to a boxing lesson right? Art of boxing hit and not get hit,kell is too static throwing two's and three's while khan throws five's six's and seven's,kell is hoping to land a "chocolate brownie" and end it there. Khan beats him every day of the week and twice on sundays

Totally disagree. He will time him much like Garcia did.

Agree. I think Brook figures him out early and then will start to time him with accurate counters.

Thats if the speed of khan doesnt melt "the chocolate brownie" before he gets hit,kell is a quitter remember and has been wobbled before,khan stays tills he is out on his shield

Doesn't take much to put Amir on his shield though. Kell could knock Amir out with a jab I reckon. One thing about Brook is that he's very accurate. I'd fancy him to catch Khan and put him away sooner or later.

Hopefully it happens next up. Khan might want another fight beforehand though because he wouldn't have taken much from that last night. Good for him to get a full camp and the quick KO will be a nice confidence booster for him I suppose.

Unconscious usually.

Khans got skills and I like him but I think Brook will spark him out. Last night proved nothing.

[Old Jack J]

If it's at 154 or even 150 then Brook will be too strong. He will definitely time Khan and probably catch him mid to late rounds and get him out of there.

Khan's best chance is at 147 and he knows it. Brook really struggles to boil down to that weight and fatigues quickly. He is pretty much finished after 6 rounds so Khan just has to survive until he can just outworking Brook.

It's all about the weight. I think Brook will boil down to 147. Khan will not take the fight at any catch weight. It will just be another excuse.

Pretty much how I see it. If they go 147, Brook will have to cut right down, and just as against Spence, it'll be a massive disadvantage. Khan can only be using it as an excuse to either make the fight not happen, or create an unfair advantage to give him the best chance of winning.

If Khan wanted this fight, he'd either fight at 154 (which isn't that absurd considering he's already fought at middle), or a catch-weight.

[Twinkle Toes]

Brook will win this fight, even at 147. A lot is made of the weight, but I don't think it's as easy for Khan to get down to that weight as it once was either.

I doubt Khan hits hard enough to wear Brook down, so he'd have to fight on the outside for 12 rounds, and put on a masterclass. I ain't saying it's impossible, but Brook is no mug and he's very accurate when landing his own leather.

I also don't see Khan having much appetite for this fight, he really has looked the less willing of the two over the last few years. There has to be some mental baggage there tat is likely going to factor.

Amir khan would be too fast for kell,he would give kell a boxing lesson. Should have the fight at the reebok stadium it would probably sell that out but not wembley or cardiff

I doubt Kell would go to the Reebok and Khan wouln't go to Bramhall Lane.
A neutral venue is a must...

Hearn has said Old Trafford in the past..

Old Trafford is only available at certain times.
Millenium Stadium is available all year round...

Khan army is pretty nationwide, it’s basically local Asians wherever he’s boxing.

I think if Froch v Groves can do Wembley, I think there would be enough casual interest for a stadium fight (including Millennium Stadium) for Brook v Khan.

Proper easy sell for the marketing team at sky / matchroom.

If they can convince 70,000 people to buy tickets for Joshua Pulev, they can do the same for Brook Khan!

[jimcook]

brook beats khan at any weight. easily. Khan has always looked good against less than mediocre opposition, but when faced with higher levels the speed he has can be dealt with. Like someone has previously said, brook could knock khan out with his jab, never mind any of his big shots. brook has wanted this fight for years and khan has run away and used every excuse in the book.

[Mimmy]

Brook has to be favorite but you cant judge how much khan has left from the le greco fight.

Im on the fence.

When did Brook become such a monster? No, he can't KO Khan with a jab. Also, Khan has beaten WAY more elite level fighters than Brook, so that doesn't make complete sense. Judah, Maidana, Barrera (okay, faded), Alexander, Algieri, Malignaggi, Kotelnik are all better than anyone Brook has beaten... except Porter (arguably)

You can't re-write history... Khan has hung in there with some of the best

[jimcook]

judah was also past his best by ten years....the rest of these great fightrs you mentioned are only decent fighters who always got beat when fighting the top guys....anyway...you can spin these things all you like...brook will ko khan in the unlikely even that khan agrees to fight.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'd favour Brook over Khan but it wouldn't be a walk over... it wasn't a walk over for Canelo who, esp jacked up, is a few levels above Brook. And I never called them great, I called them elite. Brook has only ever beaten one elite fighter. You have to look at these things objectively

Like Eddie has just thought of the idea and only just decided to sit down and discuss the fight.

Khan signed a 3 fight deal with Hearn, the Brook fight will be the third fight - in the meantime we have to endure 6 months of will they / wont they bollox as Eddie drums up interest.

[Bigdogsnose]

can see the weight being a massive stumbling block. Been talked about for years, could happen so easily but neither man is going to want to be at a disadvantage going into a grudge/mega fight. IMO Brook should not move from 154 but this is the money fight. A catchweight would need to be 151, as Amir has already fought at middle that shouldn't be too unreasonable.

Don't be so damn short sighted. Khan said for a long time he refused to work with Hearn, so this is the closest we will have been them sat in the same ring. Hearn gave Khan the perfect home coming, so can imagine they're feeling a lot more onside than they have before.
