Amir Khan's dodging Kell Brook like crazy right now. Brook's basically offering Khan very favourable terms to sign on the dotted line, including taking a 40% cut of the purse instead of 50-50 but Khan's saying Brook's below him and not worth it. Well, Brook's a champ and Khan isn't, it'd sell gangbusters here in the UK. The only conclusion is he's scared he'd get beat.

Does Khan even have fans anymore, or is he trying to follow the Mayweather business model of getting people to pay to see him lose? Does he really expect Danny Garcia to give him an 80-20 split? Dude must be high on some poo poo, he has no belt and barely any legitimacy at welterweight.

I don't get it at all, it's the biggest fight for him by a long way and he's got a reasonable chance in it imo. It's quite funny seeing Eddie Hearn's desperation as it keeps falling at the starting blocks though. What a oval office.

This is probably me being lazy but I am not so sure Khan doesn't beat Brook. Like off the top of my head I think of Brook winning over Porter mostly because he was technically good and Porter couldn't deal with his reach and lunged in a ton. Khan kind of seems like the guy who you blast out because he is chinny, otherwise he is pretty quick and has the technical ability to cause guys problems. I remember thinking for as much as Porter jumped into Brook, he probably should have been hurt a lot more often.

I wholeheartedly believe that brook only beat porter because he was allowed to hold more times than the last three mayweather and klitschko fights combined.

lol it's stretching it a bit to say Porter got the rough end of the stick in that one. He fought like he thought he was in the loving Royal Rumble or something. There was only one boxer in that fight.

I had Brook pretty clearly beating Porter and remember being surprised that people were saying there was any sort of controversy about that decision. It was pretty one-sided imo. Khan would have a great chance against Brook which is why it's so mystifying to me that he's so reluctant to make the fight happen. He's not getting $5 million from anyone except a returning Mayweather (who has paid most of his opponents closer to the $2 million territory) and he'll never lure Mayweather back into the ring without building up some accomplishments at the weight. I don't even know what you could point to as his best welterweight win, probably Algieri tbh because at least Algieri's only other loss was to Pacquiao, and most people wouldn't even call Algieri a proper welterweight let alone a true elite fighter.

Brook seems like he's stuck in the situation where he's good enough the people worth money/titles aren't willing to fight him because he's not but he's good enough that he has a chance at beating them Maybe thats just the impression i get from the british media though

There are plenty who'd fight Brook. They just don't want to put him in with anyone with a pulse in case they ruin their big money fight. Khan knows it too, but if he ends up fighting Garcia instead then he's just cutting his nose off to spite his face at this point. Incidentally I suspect Brook hasn't got much longevity in him. He's very tight at the weight and it's well known that he's a fuckabout when not in camp.

I have a bit of a soft sport for Brook being from the nearest big city from me even though he supports the wrong team in Sheffield so I don't like him that much, but even given that, I just don't think he has an "it" factor when it comes to marketing for him? He talks funny too. It shouldn't really matter in the ring but I think it does. Not that I think Khan has that "it" factor either but he was an Olympian so our media would suck his dick and call it champagne. It'd be a good, competitive fight in my opinion though so it's a shame it's probably not happening.

Watched the Saturday fights, agree that the cards were wide but Garcia should've won. Shame about Mansour, I've become a huge fan of his. Watch his fight against Gerald Washington if you want to see him manhandle another tall ex-football player.

Well... Pascal has sizable and probably underrated punching power, maybe not one punch knockout power but when he lands he hurts. He was reasonably successful against Kovalev last year, gave Krusher some trouble. Most people don't make it past 6 rounds with him , Pascal lasted eight. I don't think he looked good against Yunieski Gonzalez but tbh I can't remember if that fight happened before or after he hooked up with Freddie Roach. This may be dumb to think but I do feel Roach may be a factor in this fight. Pascal has an ambushing style like Pacquiao does, lots of leaping in behind flurries and then leaping out. His style seems like it would benefit a lot from the Wild Cards scene. Do I think it's enough to beat Kovalev? Honestly, no, most rematches where a guy won clearly tend to go to that guy winning even faster. Bigger upsets in boxing have happened though.

When Kovalev does that weird...shifting from orthodox to southpaw while punching thing, I always feel like eventually he's gonna get caught out of stance. Maybe on a good day I could see Pascal knocking him down, but I don't think he would be able to knock him out and I don't think Kovalev would do that again after being punished for it once. Who knows though

Who knows though Pascal is an ambush fighter. He could ambush Kovalev into a great combo. There are a lot of fights in which a fighter "has a puncher's chance to win" and in my opinions Jean Pascal has that chance. Anyway, there's not much else happening this week so gotta hype up what I have. If Kovalev wins, it builds up to a big fight later in the year. I'm pulling for Kovalev to cement a Ward-Kovalev match for the fall, that kind of fight writes itself as far as new threads go.

Sergey's just too good for Pascal from what I can tell. Pascal needs to get lucky with one of those lunging flurries or something. And now a wrestling match has broken out. e: I guess he is getting through now and then, but it's only one punch.
