One thing he doesn’t lack. He’s so comfortable in himself IMO

If he loses he can move on with his lifestyle. Bloke is resilient.

Still can’t pick the winner like. Ffs

I’m a Khan fan boy but nervous….ill
Pick later.

I agree hes comfortable in himself , but the more I think about it, Brook wins fir me. Khan is there for a payday, I don't feel Brook is.
Though at the start of the week I was thinking Khan, Brook, you can just tell he wants it.

Brook wants it more I agree but sometimes you can want it too much and a good game plan goes out of the window. I cant call it with any confidence but will go for Khan picking off Brook and winning on points or late stoppage.

It's a proper 50/50 because they are about as shot as each other and that could make it a good fight tbf.

It'll probably do pretty well but it would be better for the sport of it was a complete flop.

Better for the sport? It’s just a fight that’s generating amazing interest in normal sports fans. Massive fight and Like any fight out can happen.

Not sure what the better for the sport or how it could be a compete flop means marra.

Will be interesting to see of Khan still has his speed
 
So long as Khan keeps it at distance he wins because I don't think Brook is a fighter who presses the fight these days.

Would love to see Brook do it as Khan seems a bell end
 
Can see Khan being knackered by about the 5th round and Brook winning in rounds 6-8.

Think Khan is a brilliant boxer but don’t think he’s got the stamina for this one.

I heavily favour khan in this one, think brooks punch resistance has gone, maybe down to the plates in his cheeks, but I reckon khan gets off to a blistering start, as he usually does, and I think instead of brook working his way back into the fight I think he'll become dejected, khan not the biggest hitter but I think he can force the feferee or corner to stop it or possibly khan by ud, if it had happened before brook fought golovkin I'd have favoured brook, but not now.

Exactly my thoughts too. I would have strongly favoured Brook had they fought in 2016 before GGG. Brook was at his peak and I think Khan had almost given up on boxing after losing to Canelo, he'd chased Mayweather for so long and once it was apparent that wasn't happening there was nothing left for him (bar Brook, who he saw as beneath him).

Thought Brook was excellent against GGG before the injury and put up a good showing against Spence. But those two injuries effectively finished him as a top level fighter and his punch resistance is gone. They've both been treading water for 5 years now with losses to Crawford in between a couple of unremarkable wins against nobodies. But Brook looked as though he had no confidence in his ability to take a shot against Crawford and was going through the motions knowing he was going to lose.

When it was first announced I thought it was a 50/50 fight which would depend on their preparation and mentality. And to me, Brook looks completely shot and has made it too personal. Whereas I think Khan seems confident and relaxed. I can't understand how Brook is the bookies favourite, the prices should be the other way around imo.

That's how I see it. Kahn always left the Brook fight as his final payday. He operated at a level above him throughout his career, and never needed to fight him.

Because it's sets the stall that instead of fighting in your prime just wait till the end of your career to make the big fights and people will buy it anyway.

Fight is completely irrelevant now and at best the winner will get his shit pushed in by Connor Benn next.

If they'd actually fought in 2015 the winner might have actually got Floyd or Pacquaio but instead we were treated to Frankie Gavin and Phil Lo Greco fights instead.
