That'll mean the Brook fight is a goer if that's true.

[gilgamesh]

So this is his big announcement. He's signed with a promoter?

...Not a fight announcement?

See....this is why Khan is such a jackoff

Depends on the weight Khan will fight at.

I can't see Hearn getting involved with Khan if he doesn't think the Brook fight is realistic

[bigjack]

Both Brook and Khan could quite easily lose their next fight as neither are on a good run of form so the plan to match them could come to nothing again,if indeed that is the plan.

No chance what so ever brook is losing to Rabchenko

It's the eye injury's i'm thinking off with Brook,will they be the same after surgery ?

[wesshaw1985]

I wonder if Khan will sign with Hearn and fight in the US on March 3rd as a Sky Sports double header with Brook vs. Rabchenko...

Rabchenko was poor against Tony Harrison.

By the time the Brook fight happens that will be two years since Rabchenko faced decent opposition. I think Brook will look explosive in the fight.

Broken bones heal stronger. Spence never hurt the side GGG broke, so now both sides have been fixed and healed - Brook should be better than new

[jamamb]

thats interesting logic.

so perhaps no fighters truly reached there best until there face is caved and broken in, perhaps several times for extra bone strengthing

His glass chin can't handle 154.

What evidence is there that Khan has a glass chin?

[SAPFO]

To be fair only he’s taken some hits, and other than Prescott, who no doubt bangs hard, he’s only ever been beaten by world class fighters.

There’s fvcking loads of evidence of Khan’s glass chin. He should have been counted out against Limond ffs

[jamamb]

down against limond, gomez, drilzane, prescott x2, garcia x3, diaz, alvarez

rocked by (not including the above) algeri, maidana, think peterson too? definitely the first two...

stopped by garcia, alvarez, prescott


so ya theres some top fighters there, but hes really been down or hurt against a whole spectrum, including some not big punchers, and a brutal ko 1 loss to a guy who never stopped anyone else good. ive seen prescott pound on even C level fighters with solid shots that dont do much damage.watch his fight right after he beat khan

id say at minimum its fair to think his durability is one of his big concerns at 154

Nah.
Inexperience early and poor defence and/or defensive mistakes yes, glass chin no. Thats just something that lazy people who don't like Khan like to say.

[jamamb]

ive seen pretty much all those guys land flush shots on numerous opponents w/o doing nearly as much damage. for example right after stopping khan prescott pounded on some little old guy whod been kod several times but wasnt able to hurt him much. that little guy had like no defense.

imo chin is at least part of it. tbh it seems more biased to brush it off as part of the equation than to say hes glass chinned.theres clearly plenty of evidence that can be used fairly to argue hus chins poor.

not sure where lazy comes into it. someone can watch all those fights and think about it, and still imo conclude that hes chinny. your being a bit lazy stereotyping ppl who say its glass maybe? perhaps being lazy dismissing all those countless cases simply with 'oh well defense/experience'?

*awaits impending thread title change

[Cholo_cws]

Watching the press conference announcement of his Matchroom deal on Sky Sports News. What a cringefest from Hearn and Smith. I'm sure Smith mentioned the Salita fight as a great night.

. I'm sure Smith mentioned the Salita fight as a great night.

it was for me... won £800 on round betting

[ILikeBeer]

Not sure how interested I am in Khan any more.

Might give him a watch, see what he performs like after being out of the ring for 200 years.

[Horse]

Are you trolling?

Khan clearly has a glass jaw.

I suppose David Price doesn't have a weak chin either?

Not one-hundred percent sure, but I think I saw him get absolutly flattened in the ABA’s by Craig Watson I think.
Am I right or is my memory playing tricks on me.
Had headguard on aswell.
