The_budweiser Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 AMIR KHAN has promised his mum he will only fight four more times. But he has also told Kell Brook to forget it if he thinks one of them will be against him. Khan, 29, arrives back in the UK this morning after his brutal sixth-round knockout by WBC middleweight champion Saul Alvarez.

Ton Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out Delusional beyond belief!! Granted Khan did well in the early rounds but ultimately he failed to avoid the inevitable, and for a 4th time has lost at the top level and a 3rd big knockout. How can he claim to be a big deal? He knows Brook would demolish him and doesn't want that hampering any kind of legacy he has imagined up for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repsac Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out To be fair Khan lost to Peterson (although i disagree with the point deductions), lost to Garcia, lost to Alvarez, and didn't look great against Algieri and Collazo. 2 fighters from the same country, that dislike each other, that can get paid to punch one another in the face. Not sure whats the hold up on making this fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whats the hold up on making this fight. Especially since either one is sure of the win! To me it seems Khan is the one making excuses because he doesn't fancy it.... You can kinda see where he's coming from. If he's to sign up for more fights where he's gonna get a hiding, he will want to be handsomely rewarded, and there's a question mark about how much money Brook brings to the table. Personally I think there would be big interest in that fight over here and it'd sell out any arena or do well in a football ground, but whether this pales in comparison to other fights available to Khan I am not so sure? Who else does Khan match with to make big money? Would there really be that much interest in him vs Garcia again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out --- Khan could still fight Manny and/or TUE and make more money than Brooksie. Or he could just have the WBA line up a gimme vacant title fight with his little buddy Paulie, make a few title defenses against the light punching fringe contenders like Herrera, ect and retire as a Lord of his domain as it were.

He chased Floyd and Manny for what? 2-3 years. No guarantee he gets those fights. Especially considering Floyd is 'retired', and Manny just got a senate seat. I would've liked to see him get the rematch with Garcia, which i think is a winnable fight for him at 147. Just not sure there's more money in that fight, as in a fight with Brook in the UK.

creed Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out If Khan fights Danny Garcia that's going to leave Brook without a credible opponent and he's going to get some stick for it. It could be a very disappointing period for Brook. Khan moans about Canelo needing to show balls and fight GGG. Khan needs to grow a pair and fight Brook, what is he scared of? He just fought Canelo.

boxingbruiser2015 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out And what then? He will hang up his boxing gloves? Is Khan done with boxing for real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canelo Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out if that is the case then he will have to choose fights carefully as he already have 2 in the list of his desires to fight with Amir Khan has been chasing and has time again told about his desire to fight Manny Pacquiao (which i think is not gonna happen) and his next desire is to fight Indian boxer vijender singh which again has some techincality issue as both fight in different weight categories (but is possible if one increase or other decreases weight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canelo Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out And what then? He will hang up his boxing gloves? Is Khan done with boxing for real? I don't think Khan should be hanging his gloves he still has in him and he is just 29 year old with few more of his career with him in-case he thinks otherwise.

gavpowell Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out I don't think Khan should be hanging his gloves he still has in him and he is just 29 year old with few more of his career with him in-case he thinks otherwise. 29 is not so young for a lightweight/light-welter, and if it's 3 or 4 fights from now he could be 35 by then.

clarke28 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out Khan vs Brook imo will happen too big of a fight and loads of money too be made for fight not too happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but what part do you think was tasteless? All I see is that Brook makes Khan look like he fights far better opponents than he fights himself.

All I see is that Brook makes Khan look like he fights far better opponents than he fights himself. Sending a tweet wanting a fight while that person has moments before been KO'd. Timing was tasteless and a tad desperate. I'd like to see the fight and don't really care who wins, both quality fighters and it would be a great fight. But, don't go sending a tweet while your rival is prostate on the canvas. Showed a lack of class, thought and taste on Brook's behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hearn was asked by IFLtv if he thought it was bad timing and he replied something like "They don't like each other" :haha: Anyway, I hope they do fight, it's silly that Khan won't fight when it'd be huge for British boxing.

Ton Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out Not meaning to hijack the thread or anything but how come Kell Brook isn't "a big draw"? It's not like he is a boring fighter to watch....I don't think he is anyway. He has good boxing skills and a pleasing enough style, he has decent power. Is it a case that he somewhat stalled and stagnated for a time, had some questions over his desire with training, and that the long bouts out of the ring meant he never really ever gained any momentum? I rememeber way back when, when he was still a raw novice he wasn't rapidly building up his record with easy, but regular bouts that we are accustomed to with prospects, which in turn gets some buzz generating. Maybe there is an aspect to his personality that people don't like? His self assuredness maybe, though he is not by any stretch the most cocky of boxers that has ever lived. Are promoters to blame for this, or is it down to Kell himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he was cocky, it wouldn't have made him less of a draw, it made guys like Hamed, Eubank snr, Pazienza, Jorge Paez snr and a certain Ali, MORE watchable, just as it has made McGregor the biggest name in mma.

Gerald Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Re: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out At this point I just think Khan won't fight Brook because he dislikes him so much that he doesn't want to give him the fight he's been craving. I doubt very much that Khan is scared of Brook and I even doubt whether he sees it in risk reward terms as a bad gamble - I just think he's always seen Brook as a level below him in terms of status and he's irritated at what he sees as Brook making a good part of his career off calling out Khan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
