Listen mate, I have boxed for well over 20 years, ten being in the Army. And becuase of Khans lack of punch resistance YES I do think becuase Brook has heavier hands than Khan he will win. No one is questioning Khans boxing ability and speed, but as has proven on numerous occasions when he gets tagged his legs turn to Jelly, and brook has very heavey hands and will damage Khan the minute he has the trademark lack of concentration. And to that the fact that Khan simply doesnt have the punch power to trouble brook and the fight will IMO only go one way stoppage for Brook in the middle to late rounds. As for Brook not getting any big name fights, Why do you think that is ? No one wants to fight him as they know how under estimated brook is as a boxer, and yes he may be desperate to fight Khan, but not becuase he is desperate or an "irritant" as some have said, but because, he knows he has the beating of him, and it will catapult him finally into the big time that he deserves. Try answering with something other than Oh dear. True to a certain extent but let's face it the sport and money is in America, if you want to be the best you need to go to their backyard, there's no way the top guys will come over here to fight brook, it rarely makes sense financially. Let's be honest British fighters are as well protected as anyone. I think brook would beat garcia quite comfortably but it's far easier for him and his promoters to sell out stadiums over here for more money than take a smaller purse and give away home advantage. He looked poor in the first carson jones fight and his only top opponent was porter, even tho it was close it was still a good win but if thurman goes and blows him out in 6 rounds it will take the shine off brooks achievement. Anyway this thread does show the demand for a huge domestic clash, luckily we've only got to wait a few weeks for Quigg vs Frampton.
