    Bruh there is no ? way Khan thinks he can win this fight. It's just a money fight, period. Like ? said, Khan about to die then come back and try to fight Brook lol If Khan had anything of a chin, I'd give him a chance but Canelo is going to put paws on this ? man. Smh

    maybe hes counting on the fact that he has similar height and reach and like his more recent fights he can jab and move enough on the flat footed alvarez to a points victory.
    his margin of error is small but lets not pretend that weak chin ? followed him up to 147. his chin isnt great but hes not weight draining anymore like 140.
    alvarez isn't exactly blowing people away with his moving forward offense. hes a counter puncher who is flat footed and slower (but pretty damn powerful)
    props to khan for challenging himself and making anyone who said he was scared of brook look like an idiot. this fight is bigger and tougher than a brook fight

    You really looking at Brook vs Khan all wrong. As a man Khan probably isn't afraid of Brook. Khan avoiding Brook is a ? up business decision. Khan knows Brook is a tough fight. If Khan lost to Brook he loses his British fan base to Brook and nobody in America really thinks all that highly of Khan. So what would Khan have if he lost to Brook before getting a big money fight? If Khan fought Brook and lost this fight right here vs Canelo would never even be an option. Nobody will care about Khan losing to Canelo. Even with the loss to Canelo people will still want to see him fight Brook.

    Fact is Khan still ducked Brook and his fear was based on the possibility of losing money not 100% fear of Brook as a man.

    I know it was risk vs reward and brook really was a threat to beating him. but the ? was people in here all of the sudden started changing their perspectives on khan because he was making a business decision.
    what was good for the goose wasn't good for the gander if you will.
    khan was always holding off fighting brook for better fighters than brook
    he wanted floyd, manny cotto and got alvarez.
    brook is better than none of those guys.
    it can't be truly ducking when you are avoiding a fighter for tougher competition.

    He wanted money not tougher competition stop lying to yourself. If a flat out ? could make him the same amount of money a Canelo fight could he would never even entertain fighting Canelo. ? has ? all to do with competition.

    This ? just say Khan vs Brook in the UK is unknown? I'm done haha

    I guess no one lives in the UK, huh?

    My logic is flawless ? . If Khan thought he could exploit a weakness in Brook, he would have done it years ago. He's had every opportunity.

    And for any of you ? giving Khan a chance, put your money up or ? .

    Brook is better than Pacquiao too, imo. On par with Canelo. Floyd is the only one on that list that is hands down, not even comparable, better than Brook. Everyone else is up for debate.

    That's why I think yall sleeping on Porter. Brook is the best at 147 but had to make the fight that ugly to win. Nobody else is doing that. And I got money on Porter l
