Canelo v Khan Buildup & Fight Thread

Page 31 of 33

posted on 8/5/16

The fight that I'm looking forward to is Postol vs Crawford

Top 2 in the division fighting, both in their prime and both unbeaten, and never really been troubled

Yeah I see Fury frustrating Wlad again.

Got the Crolla fight wrong last night. Thought he would get KO'd

I thought Canelo would start landing much earlier on in the fight and get a KO pretty quickly.

Main difference is that the fans wanted to see Hatton v Mayweather waaaaay more than Hatton v Whitter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The fans would have preferred Mayweather vs Cotto/Mosley/Margarito/Williams/Forrest over Hatton.

And the fans wanted to see Canelo vs Khan more than Khan vs Brook, as shown by the money generated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody knew about Khan v Canelo until it was announced so the fans certainly weren't calling for it.. they wanted Canelo v GGG and Khan v Brook.

Talking out your hoop

Not to mention when Canelo v Khan was announced a lot of fans were writing it off as a total mismatch and a bit of a joke.. to be proven right.

The fight still generated more money than a Brook fight. And I did talk about Khan fighting Canelo a long time ago.

Hatton never fought Witter, openly avoided him.
Khan still may fight Brook.

It funny how Hatton gets a pass for doing what Khan is getting slated for.

OK Mystic Meg

It might have generated more money due to Canelo having an American and Mexican fan Base but you said it was a fight the fans wanted to see.. the fans had no idea it was on the cards so they weren't calling for it.

Khan ducks brook

I'm not sure how anyone can have any respect for Khan and the way he has thrown away his career.

posted on 10/5/16

The fights not happening. Can Brook get on with his career now rather than be constantly obsessed for his one big payday that Khan refuses to give him.

posted on 10/5/16

Seriously FECK Khan!!!!!! Absolute fraud!!!! He only fought Canelo for a pay day. There was no risk. Losing to Brook would end his career.

Khan would fight AJ over Brook. He's an embarrassment to British Boxing

posted on 10/5/16

Read a stat the other day but not sure how true it is but Khan has fought more world champions than the entire current 11 British world champions put together.

If that's a fraud then I want to know what genuine is

Brook desperately needs to fight some bigger names in the division.

However, Khan's Bertie Big Bollx attitude towards a proposed fight grates. He has had a grand total of 3 fights and Welter and imo is still untested in that division, especially against guys who can punch hard.

Brook would knock him out. Khan realises that if he takes the fight and loses he can kiss the big pay days goodbye.

I too believe Khan went for the Money, and prestige of a Big name fight.
He defo fears Brook.
His career will always have mark on it, and he isn't as great as he makes out.
But a Fraud, he isn't. Charles Martin is a fraud, Fraudley Harrision. I have more respect for Khan than David Haye.
But to not have the Brook/Khan fight is a disgrace.

posted on 10/5/16

I don't think Khan has ever hailed himself as the great. What is he is a cash cow and a big name. People like to see Khan fight even if it's due to his weaknesses i.e. being able to take a punch.

End of the day Brook needs to get his own house in order. After beating his last bum he was talking about Thurman, Bradley and Garcia. He needs to make that happen.

Hatton said exactly the same thing about Brook.

Don't have double standards

Khan has a great career, fought or attempted to fight the best, had many big fights, fought in his opponents hometown and given great entertainment

Brook going to have his hands full with his mandatory Errol Spence later this year

posted on 10/5/16

Hatton fought the best two p4p fighters of a generation in their primes.

I'll let him off not fighting Witter.

Khan attempted to, and was repeatedly ducked by Mayweather, even though he was his mandatory. And he fought the middle champ regarded as a p4p top 5 by many.

A far bigger challenged than Hatton took.

We all know Brook loves to fight a mandatory like Jo Jo Dan and the last guy whoever he was. I wonder if he will be quick to fight Errol Spece?

posted on 10/5/16

I don't like Khan, and I think Brook knocks him out, but I understand where he's coming from. He has repeatedly said that Brook needs to fight the big names before he gets a shot. Since beating Porter Brook has continued down the safe path, why should he get a top pay day fighting Khan? Khan brings big money because he has chased big fights and taken risks, so why should Brook get a share of that Khan cash without paying his dues? Brook needs to stop talking and take on a big fighter.
