Aye, he might. But he should have danced round lots of fellas and, for reasons best known to himself, chose not to.

I'd fancy Khan if he boxed to his potential but if he started being daft again, as he often is, Brook would bat him like sixmens.

I agree he should of danced around alot of fellas too, but isn't that why his so exciting to watch ? Both brook and khan have proved they have alot of heart, and the two ko's khan has been on the end of would of knocked anyone out ! I know he shouldn't of been in the position he was in to get ko'd in the first place but he is still only 25 and learning, of course he has to box clever from now onwards and we won't know that until the situation of a war arises next, but as much as I like brook he is still a novice on the world scene until he proves me wrong I'm going to side with khan ! It won't happen untill khan goes to 147 anyway, Eddie may talk about a big show between them next summer but who knows ? It might take a year or two yet.

Agree with all of that

Well, he is 'one of the best offensive fighters in the world'

If Rachid Drilzane (a man with zero ko's) the shell of Michael Gomez, Willie Limond can chin him - and Prescott and Garcia can blow him away - then I've no doubt a 147lb Kell Brook in last night's condition, would having him sacking his coach and heading 'back 'te drawin bord' in no time at all.

(Sorry Jessi)

Apart from Garcia and Prescott he took good shots and got up to win, khan gets hit badly because he chooses to trade, his still young and still learning, who has brook really beat ?
He would be dazed by the very first onslaught by khan, his speed is in a different league !
Stick brook in with alexander and let's see what his really made of, but if the khan fight happened early next year I believe khan would dance around him !

He's been getting dropped off little guys, so I've no doubt Brook would really hurt Khan.

I don't regard age a factor, given his huge amateur experience. I don't buy the 'still learning' as any excuse. The likes of De La Hoya and Mayweather were multi-weight champs in tough divisions at this age.

Khan's 75% hype, 20% ability and 5% bone china.

I really don't understand how people lose their capacity to see the truth about Khan, in that he's been getting dusted amidst moderate company that would have not won any version of a belt at 140 in say, 2004.

Nearly-men like Ricardo Torres would make short work of khan.

It's like many believe he has this un-tapped magical talent that he's yet show us. I believe he is pretty flawed and will end up with 7 or 8 losses when he retires in a year or two. He won't be around when he's 30. Although the GIFs of his chicken dances will be.

Marcos Maidana would be a decent yardstick, Khan beat him, Alexander dealt with him but he looked resurgent against Jesus.

Maidana would be a good opponent, very beatable for Brook too. I think he's next for a shot at Malignaggi though.

I think they tried if I remember correctly, but maidana wanted telephone numbers to come over.

Gomez you might not buy the "still learning" excuse but the two names you mentioned at khans age ( de la Hoya and Floyd ) are boxing legends ! I'm not putting khan in that bracket now or anytime soon, but to write him off already in a potential brook fight is crazy, Brooks shown me nothing but heart in a close Carson jones fight, he obviously has huge ability but until he fights someone genuinely ranked in the world top 15 I can't make a case for him, hope the fight happens next year.

Perish the thought.
They always act in the best interests of the boxer.
