    When Khan decides to step up in weight and possibly meets Brook, do you think Khan wins easily?

    I think Khan/Brook is a future superfight and would not risk it for either until a belt is on the line and both are making millions from it. By that time, it will be far easier to guage how good Brook is, but right now I think it is a pretty even fight.

    From what Ive seen of Brook.... I'd say Khan is MUCH better. Brook has fraud written all over him.

    Khan would win easily over another Ingle hype job.

    LOL at more utter nonsense from mikE.

    To be fair, whilst I'm not sold on Brook yet, he is clearly a very sharp, accurate puncher who could time Amir either coming in or as he backs off, he is a dangerous guy in that sense and I don't think he fights in typical Ingle fashion. He seems too patient though so it's very easy to envisage Khan outworking him with speedy combinations. However, Brook might be one of those guys who fights to his opponents level so hard to say as he hasn't really been tested yet, we don't know nearly enough about his intangibles.

    Pull the fork out of your butt.

    You think the fight will happen before it's a superfight? No. I'll be surprised if I'm wrong on that point.

    Why are you so sure that Brook is not good? Just focus on the pro record, right? He doesn't have a Prescott in his past. You been betting on any of his opponents against him?

    I acknowledged that it's hard to know how good Brook really is. Right now, though, I think he looks like he has what it takes to deal with a smaller, extremely talented, but somewhat flawed fighter in Khan on even terms. What flaws? Chin, stamina, and Khan's somewhat repetitive and unbalanced punch selection.

    Btw, did you see the fight where Hearns made Duran his bitch forever? I highly recommend it.

    I'm laughing at the idea of this being a super fight. Your opinion of Brook is absurdly inflated. He won't be having superfights with anyone.

    The reason I'm sure Brook is not that good is the same reason I was sure DeGale was not that good, BEFORE Groves - I have eyes.

    I don't rate Khan very highly by the way (at world level), but he IS world class, Brook isn't.
