Comments Thread For: Brook: Me and Thurman Are Best Fights For Mayweather

[HughJass]

Khan wasn't an Olympic champion,he was a silver medalist.

How about Brook and Thurman fight each other

[Ringlife]

Brook is right, I hope either he gets the fight or Thurman does for Mayweather last fight in September.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Correct.

They are 2nd and 3rd at WW.

Based on track record Amir Khan is way ahead of Brook and Thurman. Brook only faced one half decent opponent in Shawn Porter. Thurman only faced Guererro. Khan has been in with a peak Garcia and Peterson. At that time Khan faced them I dont think Thurman or Brook would have won against them either. Khan has been in with Maidana, yes Maidana wasnt as good as he is now but no way Brook would have gone 12 rounds with Maidana. Give Khan his props, he doesnt deserve the Mayweather fight but he has more rights than Brook who has only faced bums.

He says with "Amir Khan is a bum" in his sig

Come on. Make mayweather vs brook so we can see Khan throw a b*tchfit

That would be worth the wait

BTW: I noticed that everyone is match making Spence, Thurman, Brook, but no mention of the Khan-man, who hasn't faced a true WW contender yet.

Believe me, I would love to see Spence vs Thurman, Brook vs Porter etc... But does the Khan-man get to hide in the shadows of the competitors, while claiming that he deserves a shot at Floyd?


Side-note: And this goes to my point .... Brook would never have even fought Gavin if only Khan-man had a pair and stepped up to face a WW contender. Instead and as usual, he ran off to fight another 140 pounder and almost got owned.

You guys always want to give Khan-man a freakin pass, while criticizing others that are actually competing and that is hypocritical to no end.

Broner showed more balls than the Khan-man ever would, because he was willing to face Porter, while the Khan-man is still hiding under the bed, while his daddy defends his ducking.

Khan has fought the better comp, but Brook is right. And who here would pick khan to beat thurman or brook today? Khan has fallen off.

Brook and Thurman needs to fight each other before trying to go for the Mayweather sweepstake.

How many top ten ww's has Khan beaten? Zero and has 3 L's and has been knocked out twice and put on ***** street a few other times.

How many top ten ww's has Brook beaten? One and has the IBF strap to possibly complete the set for Floyd.

How many top ten ww's has Thurman beat? Two and he has been Floyd's mandatory for a long time.

I'll never understand the reasoning that somehow Brook and Thurman need to do more at ww, but somehow Khan should be able to just slide in to the Floyd fight. I would rather see Berto than Khan get the fight.

People saying Brook should have fought Thurman instead of Gavin obviously know very little about boxing.

The card that Brook-Gavin was on already had Gradovich and Linares as travelling champions who were getting paid ****loads to come over - do you really think the money was logically available to bring Thurman over as well.....oh and on 5 weeks notice.....oh and Haymon was going to let Thurman travel? Just plain idiotic thinking.

Now, on the other hand, Thurman didn't need to book a fight with Collazo in July and could have waited to face Brook in August/September in the UK if that's what he really wanted. But we know everyone is waiting to see who Mayweather picks so I don't blame either of them for not rushing into a fight with each other yet.

Thurman and Brook clearly have a lot of respect for each other. They know that's a big fight between the two of them down the road. Neither of them have any respect for Queen Khan and that's no coincidence. I don't think anyone really does at the moment.

This is what bothers me about Khan fans. They keep saying he fought better competition, but he didn't always beat better competition. Should someone get credit for losing? In that case, Lara deserves the fight more than anyone!
