Any of you boxing fans got any thoughts on Brook v Khan next weekend?

Good fight long in the making? Payday only? Pointless exercise?

What do you think?

I'll definitely be watching it.

Genuine grudge match and a good send off for the two of them.

A payday, pointless but still an intriguing match, I'm actually quite excited which says alot about boxing at the moment. Both fighters committed career suicide against ggg and canelo, id favour khan just because of his speed and footwork tho it is a genuine 50/50 both are shot, both should go for it, 2 of our better British fighters in recent times. They deserve the last payday.

Yeah I’m looking forward to it. Lean towards brook if his eye sockets hold up.
Agree about both of them being badly advised, not financially, by fighting GGG and Canelo, also Spence.

Brook is the odds-on favourite to beat Khan.

I think the prices are the wrong way round.

Khan hasn't been active but I feel like he's in Brook's head. During their Gloves Are Off interview with Johnny Nelsoon, Brook kept referencing behind the scenes contract stuff that he's not allowed to discuss.

Could be totally wrong but suspect it might be some sort of hydration clause related to making weight and if Khan's team have tucked Brook up with that it would be a big advantage.

If Khan's hand speed is as fast as it normally is i think he knocks out Brook.

Brook is heavy handed but i see Khan's superior hand speed putting Brook to sleep.

Interesting. I think Brook needs this fight more than Khan so will have given more ground to stage it, as that article suggests. Sparring with Terence Crawford as well (who has KO'd both of them) will surely have helped massively. I'm on Khan at 6/4 and think it's a very fair price.

I love Brook but, aside from beating Porter, he's lost every big fight he's been in. Khan not in the same league as GGG, Spence or Crawford of course but the pressure in this one is even bigger.

This could turn into the best of 3.
Haven't followed the press but are the yanks interested in this even just as a fight without much at stake.
