    And Tee I think there are many people out there that think Khan beats Kell Brook and it's why they're disappointed he has decided not to fight him now. I honestly think Khan and his team know it's a risky fight (even if they're confident in winning) as they know if he loses gone goes his chances of fighting Mayweather or Manny. But opting to fight Algieri is a piss take.

      Maybe he will be thinking beyond the Mayweather or Pacquiao fight now? Perhaps he knows that ship has sailed and is looking at the bigger picture for himself?

      Jo Jo Dan mate, go figure about **** opponents. Why didn't Kelly give Porter a rematch? Or even finish an epic trilogy with Carson?

        I have no beef with Amir whatsoever. I like his skills. If you go check my posts in the past I've gone on record as saying I think Amir's style would give Mayweather problems but I see him adapting and beating Khan. Khan is not light years ahead of Kell in the welterweight division by any stretch of the imagination. And I'm still waiting for you to name be a better opponent than Porter that Khan has faced at welterweight, bro?

          In terms of career you could easily argue that Devon Alexander is better than Porter. Probably not good enough for you though, bro.

            I agree Jo Jo Dan was a piss poor opponent despite him being mandatory for the ibf belt. The only justification is that Brook was coming back from a near fatal attack so it would have been very risky to put him in with a top class opponent.

            Lets discuss Khan's opponents previous opponents since his loss to Garcia, Algieri? Alexander, Collazo, Diaz, Molina hardly mouth watering eh?

              And this Alexander got beat by Porter at welterweight who Kell happened to beat.

              And Alexander is not a true welterweight either.

                  Hardly, but better than what Brook has faced so far. There was no justification for that Jo Jo Dan fight mate, always a risk with better opponents for him as Carson showed.

                  Anyhow, Khan has nothing to prove to anyone but himself now. He has become a World Championship at 22, made a name for himself in the States and is a positive role model for his community. He will go on and hopefully get some bigger fights again, and nothing would be sweeter than seeing him beat Kell when they eventually meet.

                      Porter aside what big punchers has Kell fought?

                      The notion that Khan is the only boxer who hand picks his opponents is laughable.

                      As for for Hearn and Brook being all in on a Khan fight and it was the Khan camp who 'ducked when has Hearn ever put one of his really big names in a true 50/50 fight. He tends to put them in either mental cash out fights abroad or home bankers.

                      Witness Porter vs Brook. Performance of the year by a British fighter in my opinion but i along with many others didn't give Brook much of a chance. Then look at Brooks first defence

                        That's the thing Tee you have a go at people for having a go at Amir but you seem hell bent on ridiculing Kell's achievements and come out with people don't like Khan in the UK. I can turn it around and say if Amir wasn't a Pakistani you wouldn't be defending him the way you're doing. It works both ways bro.

                          And you would be right, because if he wasn't of Pakistani origin I know he would not have got 90% of the stick and abuse (not here btw) that he does. I thought that you would even appreciate that.

                            So because he's a Pakistani you feel the need to make excuses for some of the fights he's had whilst slaughtering Kell Brook?

                              There's none of that here - Khan can be rightly criticised and all of it here is justifiable - but I stand by my belief that there is some pretty sinister, latent racism where Khan is concerned from a good chunk of his detractors in this country.
                              Thanks very much for being
