The Russian would be too much for Khan, Brook and Benn.
Let's see how Benn develops but Khan and Brook are ready to cash out.

Saying that I think Khan can earn just as well in Saudi or Dubai against a Billy Dibb sort.

Think that was all a Muslim Thing ,, , Not sure if they would fork out that sort of money for him to fight a westerner

Yh cus before the Dib fight, he was supposed to fight the Indian Neeraj, who got into a car accident just before the fight.

But they building it up based on 2 teams Sharks and someone else.

Benn is reacting to Khan's comments so the fuel is now burning.

I think this fight could happen

But weren't Amir Khan's comments basically saying he wasn't interested?

Exactly, I really think there’s nothing to see here.

Maybe negotiation! I'm sure Khans ears would prick up if there was millions and an interim title on the line.
And the winner to fight Brook.

A win over Samuel Vargas has built all this hype. Incredible.

Not a fan of seeing British prospects completely bypass domestic level, Vargas is a brave fella but wasn't likely to bring much at this stage. Someone like McKinson or Crocker would be a good test at this point, if he comes through that as impressively as he has other opponents then look towards Avenesyan, calling out someone past their best (and more or less semi retired at this point) isn't a good look

Khan hasn’t boxed for almost 2 years, in a nothing fight against a super feather weight and has lost by stoppage twice in his last 5 fights. He’s ranked 10 by WBC in a tough division. I don’t get where he expects his payday to come? Why would Errol Spence want to defend against him? He’s old news globally.

Khan is still a crossover fighter in the sense that the general sports fan knows who he is. Brook once was but is he still widely known ? And is Benn in the consciousness of fans at all other than as the sporting son of a famous dad ?

Yup beating an opponent he was 14-1 on to beat. But let’s not also forget he’s a product of the sky/matchroom hype machine.

Sounds just about perfect then

I'd be happy with the matchup if it could be made at the very different stages of their careers.

Khan’s chin isn’t even glass anymore - it’s a prawn cracker.

For him to win he’d have to do it without taking a single power punch in return.

Spencer Oliver has Benn beating Crawford and Spence in two fights!

Ridiculous and cringeworthy.

Nelsons normally the one for pathetic statements like that,"bellew technically better than uysk" or better still "tennyson beats gervonta davis"

Really embarrassing. It's one thing to hype up the Matchroom fighter but dear me, get a grip Spencer.

He told Tyson Fury on Talksport he favoured AJ because he was much the better technical boxer. Tyson was amazed.

spen is a company man like the rest, i remember him being on his knees (well he's short enough to stand) gobbling haye's balls for that cringeworthy party sky had for haye prior to the klit fight

A TOAST TO DAVID HAYE!

lol i like benn, but some of this stuff coming out is just insane, even by the usual hype machine standards

like, did spen explain why exactly it is that benn would beat crawford and spence

mickey1975 wrote: ↑14 Apr 2021, 06:33 Spencer Oliver has Benn beating Crawford and Spence in two fights!

I’m guessing he was talking about Michael and Louie.

i never rated conor that much but his last couple of fights i give the man his dues looks the real deal and steal getting better improving , benn ko for going all the way with that graft he puts in

Amir Khan says to Benn come back at me when you've won a 'world' title, which seems like delusions of grandeur to me because surely if Benn did win a title then he would be beyond Khan's level. Khan was stopped in six in his last two title tilts and basically was regarded as an easy payday for Alvarez and Crawford by the boxing public. I'm not sure why Khan thinks he is due another title fight anytime soon.
