Khan dismissive of Brook challenge
December 24th, 2010
By William Mackay: World Boxing Association (WBA) light welterweight champion Amir Khan doesn’t appear to be interested in fighting undefeated Kell Brook. Khan needs an opponent for his next fight in April in the UK.
Brook has been compared to Naseem Hamed and is loaded with talent. Compared to Khan’s last opponent Marcos Maidana, who Khan failed to prove that he was better than, Brook is a lot more skilled and just as powerful.
It seems like a reasonable fight for Khan to take if he’s interested in impressing fans in the UK. It’s no brainer. Either that fight against Brook or a rematch with Breidis Prescott, a fighter that obliterated Khan in one round two years ago.
Khan’s not interested in Prescott either. The fighter that’s mentioned mostly as Khan’s next opponent is the weak punching Lamont Peterson. He recently fought to a 10 round draw with Victor Ortiz in a fight in which Peterson was knocked down twice, bloodied and beaten up pretty well. I had Ortiz winning by four rounds. It was really bad scoring if you ask me.
This is what Khan had to say about Brook in his twitter page: “Lol frank warren has offered me Kell Brook, ask him what I use to do to him in sparring, Frank promised Jennings a rematch with brook… Promises shouldn’t be broken.”
I heard that this so called sparring occurred five years ago when Brook was a teenager and that it was Brook who got the better of the action, not Khan. It’s strange how fighters see things differently after a number of years. Whatever the case, that was sparring with nice protective headgear on to protect fighters with weak chins. I’d like to see Khan fight without head gear on against Brook. I’d put my money on Brook winning that fight without any problems once he connects with one of his hard right hands.
I see Brook as being a lot better than Peterson and much more dangerous in terms of power. Could be that Khan doesn’t want to face him because he’s afraid of being knocked out?

THIS BROOKS GUY PROBABLY WORKS AT MC DONALDS. THAT IS THE REASON THAT RAG HEAD KHAN IS FIGHTING HIM NOW!
@MS..
KHAN WILL KILL BROOK WHO????
khan will kill him,
why would he fight a un-known un-proven boxer like brook on the back of a awesome win against maidana.
HBO wouldnt agree to it
Brook who ???.
ROACH LIKES HIS FIGHTER’S TO FIGHT EASY OPPONENTS!
y shud he fight brook wen people even aint herd of him?
kahn is extremely young and is going to get a lot better in the next 3 years….he will be around for a while…i dont know why he draws all the negative press he does.
Kell Brook is going to be the next REAL big thing in british boxing, he would absolutely destroy Kahn. It would be the worst move of Kahn’s career to take on Brook he would get a real (ASS WHUPPING)
Khan’s back to fighting weak punchers, we all knew that was going to happen if he got past Maidana.
Kell Brook
needs to fight
Mike Jones Selcuk Aydin Saul Alvarez
Ionut Dan Ion
fighting and beating these guys
will put well ahead of andre berto
and co in line for pound 4 pound crown
and future equal billing against khan
and the like
at the moment his name does not
hold enough $value to it right now
fight the above fighters and beat
them and he wont need khan
so keep it real
brook dont need khan
Let brook fight maidana to show khan how a real boxer does it khan shud of Neva won that fight he was pathetic
Khan was lucky against Maidana…
He should fight Tomothy Bradley next…
Brook is no match for Khan..Khan would win easy!
oh be quiet
I was there when they both had that sparring session i remember it well actually and from what i remember khan absolutely boxed brook’s ears off.oh and let me just add that sparring tells you alot about how it would go in a real fight.remember haye vs harrison sparring match ???
I am still waiting for someone to come up with a sensible alternative for Khan if he’s going to have his next fight in the UK. Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way. Are you Khan fans actually thinking of bringing Peterson to the UK?
Brook will flatten the over rated Khan in 3
So William, your telling us & want us to believe that due to your hatred of Khan, that Kell Brook is far more dangerous & more skilled than MArcos Maidana? lol
MAidana that had 27 Ko’s from 30 fights, a maidana that has beaten top fighters all over the world? You telling us a Kell brook who has only fought Domestic level fighters, is far more of a challenge then maidana?
First Khan was going to get knocked out clean when he faced a fighter like Maidana, when he beats maidana it still isnt good enough?
You really are pathetic sad man William! lol
Khan keeps prooving people wrong by winning his fights lol
@ fair but firm
Freddie Roach, Manny Pacquio and Khans opponents know more then you mate, just find out what they have to say about Khan since he joined Freddie Roach
Who the hell is brooke? Is she not a model? lol
bet it guys brook v khan will happen next year because khan has fought in manditory fight and this would be financially beneficary for khan because it would be an all british title fight and will build up with all the hype as brook is undefeated and khan this would be a safe fight than rather against likes of Prescott,maquez
I don’t see any reason why Khan shouldn’t take the fight. Personally, I don’t think Brook can beat Khan.
LOL why doesnt Brook fight people in his own division, people are hypocrite specially William Mackay!!! When there was talk of Marquez vs Khan people were saying Khan should fight his own division!! WHY THE F DOESNT THIS APPLY TO BROOK!!!!! bunch of hypocrites!
I gusss the author doesnt know anything about there history. Not only has Khan smashed up Brook many times in sparring but even in the UK Brook is a unknown. Author how much did Khan pay you for this article.
I love how they thought they can steamroll through Maidana easily but he gave them one hell of a scare. I don’t expect Team Khan to give him a rematch. It’s no big deal if Khan skips one or two notable challengers like Brook or Prescott. The division is deep therefore Khan will have to face a very difficult opponent at some point.
Ring magazine rankings is what you need to look at. I’m sure the writes for that magazine have miles more boxing knowledge than you. Khan is ranked 2nd in jnr welterweight across all boxing organisations. Brook don’t appear in the top ten on his division. I think you should shut your mouth for now and wait for the next fight against the winner of bradley and Alexander. The outcome of that fight should determine a move up to welter for khan than he can whip brooks a. Brook is a good domestic boxer who wants a pay day and nothing more.
brook has never fought anyone remotely near khans level
Got to love the mackay articles, such a muppet. Basically, anyone is able to beat Khan in his eyes. I’m not Khan’s biggest fan but i have to give the guy the credit he deserves. Brook looks good but hasn’t faced anyone with even a slice of ability. He could be decent but thrown in with Khan at this stage and he wouldn’t come close
Khan needs a tune up fight for the Bradley/Alexander winner. A welterweight or big puncher is unsuitable. I would have thought this was pretty obvious even for Mackay.
Brook needs to earn his spurns before getting a taste of the big time. Beat a couple of notable names in his divison then he’ll get a shot. All the new young brits are overated by brit fans until they go to america and prove themselves.
khan=bum
just my opinion, but i reckon Brook would beat Khan too. especially if the fight was at welterweight and not light welterweight. Brook has everything khans got and good power too, the only thing against brook is he hasn’t been in with the same level of opponents khans been in with recently… all in all it would probably be a very close fight and very exciting. i’d love to see it happen. I have nothing against khan too, hes improved so much since his only defeat.
Khan needs to rematch Maidana, either that or STFU about him being so gloriously talented. He’s ok, nothing amazing.
Lol this guy is actually funny. Khan v Jim watt next? Lol
who is Brook?
